One of the 0-4-2 tram locos built by Sharp Stewart in 1885, Seamus. Believe it or not, having a bunker over the firebox wasn't all that uncommon, especially on narrow gauge railways.

Welcome aboard... the CVR tank really looks the part!
-
So, like I said... this time next year!
-
With the rate you're working at, I'll be surprised if it isn't all finished by this time next year!
-
That'll be the drivers brewing some seriously strong tay!

Looking good! I actually got a sneak peak of the battery house in Glenderg's bag of tricks at the Raheny show, and I can confirm that it looks even better in the flesh. In fact, I was with him when we found out it was actually called the 'battery house'!
-
No, the loco would always be parallel to the platform...

GSR & CIE locomotive list for grey, green or black livery
Garfield replied to jhb171achill's question in Questions & Answers
Afternoon, JB! Making a thread 'sticky' means to stick it to the top of the list of topics on the forum, so it doesn't slide away out of sight when newer topics are started. It's a moderator action... and it's already been taken care of. -
Hornby 2013 range to be announced on Monday
Garfield replied to Warbonnet's topic in British Outline Modelling
The Sentinel looks good. Tempted to get one and deck it out as a Manchester Ship Canal Railway loco. http://www.flickr.com/photos/donglos/5825121685/ -
This would make for a handy little conversion project for anyone working in N gauge: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/N-BACHMANN-PLASSER-EM80C-LOCOMOTIVE-UNION-PACIFIC-UP-EC1-LN-IOB-/230897182396?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item35c28b66bc#ht_500wt_1180

Good idea... this is a topic that is likely to be visited again and again. -
Great documentary on UP's turbine locomotives, with lots of background info and plenty of footage of them in action... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uT_aYfTif4

Lovely stuff! There's a distinct lack of catenary for all those electrics, though...

Hornby 2013 range to be announced on Monday
Garfield replied to Warbonnet's topic in British Outline Modelling
I'll be interested to see the Sentinel diesel... an interesting loco, and found widespread use in the industrial sector so it should prove popular. Smart move from Hornby. -
http://www.independent.ie/national-news/state-inspectors-to-snoop-inside-our-fridges-3326631.html "A Government inspector could soon be coming to a fridge near you. "The food safety promotion body Safefood wants to investigate the contents of householders' fridges to make sure we're not at risk of poisoning ourselves from improper use..." H&S just got even crazier.

Sorry for your loss, Anto. Thinking of you and your family at this sad time.
-
I'm not sure about that, JB... I'm pretty sure they were a mixture of brake corridor seconds and brake corridor composites.

Merry Christmas everone, and a Happy New Year! Time you got one for your gaff, Steve! Give these guys a call... http://www.multipowerinternational.com/narrowsale.html

Aye... if Mk3s or De Dietrichs can pass by each other with no problem, you're in business because there won't be anything longer than that.
-
What about overhead catenary for the Dart?
-
The 'S' looks OK to me... it's gentle enough and it's a feature that isn't all that uncommon.
