That MIR 80 class kit is a rarity now. I'd be surprised if it doesn't sell.

Happy Birthday, Broithe!

Folks, I'm closing this thread... a person is entitled to own as much or as little stock as they want without others asking what the point of it all is. It's their business.
-
Some questions relating to 'what if...' scenarios regarding closed lines have been moved to the more appropriate 'The Official Irish Might Have Beens...' thread: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4534-The-Official-Irish-Might-Have-Beens-Thread/page9

Basically, making them look presentable for passers-by when the cycleway opens. Glenderg is submitting a tender and ordering industrial quantities of plasticard, I believe...

Operations at claremorris , signals, coal trains etc
Garfield replied to Junctionmad's question in Questions & Answers
It was standard practice up until recently (within the last decade or so). -
All your type say they're gonna take a break from the chassis, but they always go back...
-
Just a reminder... before anyone thinks of delving further into a political debate, keep in mind that such discussions are not allowed on this forum.
-
Nice one... it certainly looks the part.
-
Is that the Skaledale castle ruin? It fits into that scene rather nicely.
-
Can we get this thread back on-topic, please? Junctionmad: You've already been warned about this.
-
On the contrary, the owner is entitled to operate the layout whatever way they see fit. Now you're trolling. Any more obnoxious comments like that and you can spend a week in the cooler.
-
Do you have any anything to back this up? Unfounded speculation isn't really appropriate.
-
Any steam heat van, really (e.g. Mk1 or Dutch van). Dutch vans could also be found on such rakes... it really was more a matter of what was on hand.
-
Three of these little beauties will be appearing on my (once again stalled) workbench shortly.
-
'Railway yard' is a very loose term... do you mean an engine shed or maintenance depot?
-
If this is the one you're referring to: http://www.themodelshop.ie/depot-hoist.html ...the depot hoist is more suitable for a railway workshop where they were used for lifting wheels and frames, etc. I've never heard of such a crane being used in a goods yard.
-
I'd prefer the scale length/width option, too...
-
These orthopaedic shoes are great, Noel... I stand corrected!
-
There has been no freight on the Sligo line since 2008, so don't hold your breath! And chances are, if there's been ballast trains operating over the line in recent months, their work is probably done now and so are unlikely to make further appearances for a while. If you're based in Mullingar and have access to a car (or if you take Bus Éireann route 70), pop down to Athlone, where you'll get to see the liners and timbers passing through. You'll also be able to see ICR services splitting there, with the separated portions then heading onto the Galway and Westport lines.

Take a bow, Leslie, it looks fantastic. It's the first time I've seen the correct corrugation pattern on any model of this wagon.
-
Still there last time I checked, JB... although it's been a while since I was in Heuston. Edit: Sorry, didn't see Jawfin's post above and thought JB was referring to tin vans in general...
-
I think he's referring to black & tan...
-
Alphagrapix currently produce a card kit for the 141/181 class, too...

I'd hate to see what you'd be like if you were waiting at a bus stop today.
