No worries, Des... I'm enjoying digging them up.

I dearly would have loved to travel on these railcars. Not my photos, just ones I came across online... feel free to contribute! Tramore - Waterford from the train.

From the previous decade... the Drumm Battery Train:

Nice photos, JB... and it looks like you've figured out how to orientate your photos correctly. A momentous day!

It was a joke. Trademark JB upside down photo... watermark the right way up...

Sorry, t'was tongue-in-cheek... couldn't help myself (see photo in my post above).

JB, have you considered watermarking your images to protect against ownership being claimed by someone else?

Great photos, TDR. Valencia Harbour looks great... it really captures the desolation of the wild Atlantic coastline.

I think I saw a photo of this coach once, in natural metal finish. Can't remember where, though! Looking at the coach end, its profile is slightly reminiscent of the Cravens...

Welcome to the forum, Bhoulihan. Per site rules, can I ask you to provide an asking price? Cheers.

Excellent, thanks.

Cheers for that!

I don't think I've ever seen a photo of this locomotive. Do you know of any?

Apart from the Railroad (budget) range, their diesel locos are centre drive and have been for some time. For example, their class 31:

Give me a D17 any day!

Don't rule out having a go at scratchbuilding one. There's a great account of a build by Lima33 here: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2345-NIR-80-Class-DEMU?highlight=lima33 Not push-pull... they were under their own power. They did replace the old ex-AEC railcar push-pull units on the Greystones and Maynooth services, though.
