Was it 'Valentia' or 'Valencia' that appeared on the station sign? Could be a similar anomaly to the Drumshanbo/Drumshambo one on the C&L. Either way, it's definitely not the first time I've seen it referred to as Valencia Harbour...

Is criticism good or bad? That depends on whether it's warranted or not...

Do you mean plonking Irish locos on HO bogies? Why? They're already compatible with the track as they are...
-
The coupling height on HO stock is lower, so a little bit of handiwork can be required to get them to work together. However, this has the potential to ruin the look of the model in some cases.

Not sure what you're getting at exactly, as your request above is a bit confusing. However, both HO and OO use the same track, so in that sense they are interchangeable. The difference is that HO = 3.5mm/ft whereas OO = 4mm/ft, so the track is spot on for 4ft 8.5in gauge in HO but slightly underscale for OO. Both use 12v DC voltage, so they are fully compatible in that sense, too.

Hi Paudie, I've removed the phone number from your last post for privacy purposes. Can you correspond via PM, please? Thanks!

Now there's the basis for an interesting layout... coal trains, cattle specials, and passenger connections to Dublin and Sligo. The GNR also looked at electrifying the Dublin-Belfast line. There are drawings of proposed diesel and electric designs in past copie of New Irish Lines (can't remember the exact issue offhand).

Riversuirs other modelling bench
Garfield replied to Riversuir226's topic in Aviation & Maritime Modelling
Hi Greybeema, Welcome to the forum. Lovely modelling... however, I'd advise setting up your own workbench thread as this one is for Riversuir's work. -
Hi Hydey, I'm going to lock this thread as you've already posted a request here: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4162-New-to-this?p=62709#post62709

You're lucky I liked it, too!

They're essentially the same loco, Bosko. V65 was the class designation it was given by Deutsche Bundesbahn. MaK (Maschinenbau Kiel) was the manufacturer. There are some minor differences between them, one of the main ones being that the doors were located on the side of 800/K801's cab, whereas they were located at the cab ends on its continental cousins.

Great photo! Looks like the operating manual was only supplied in German...

Trying my damnedest to get pages laid out at the moment... apologies for the delay.

Can you please stop trying to drag this thread off-topic? Thanks.

Clear as mud, JB. Didn't know if you were referring to green locos specifically or if you meant the entire fleet...

JB, I'm pretty sure I've seen photos of steam locos with a yellow Flying Snails on the tender, along with yellow numbering...

Happy Christmas, folks... hope Santa leaves some modeller-friendly gifts under the tree for you all.

Looks good... looking forward to seeing what you have in store for it! I can imagine how that conversation went... "There's no way you're bringing home a... what do you mean, you've already bought it!? *sigh*"

Doubt it, but even if one was there's a perfectly good paint shop in Inchicore...
