Buses from the Catacombs.

 

The Stilltime Collection

 

I found this site whilst searching the Internet. Wonderful photographs of buses from the past in Dublin. Double Deckers including the Daimler "DR" as well a single deck AECs of Class "A". The Garaiste boys will love this site. Hope others view and like it too. This link is not from the start of " Dublin" photographs - I have started it here because this photograph show one of the sic elusive CIE Daimler Double Deckers of Class "DR".

Could not help and notice that the wall alongside the liffey is very high. Don't ever remember it that high. Any idea when photo was taken?

Got mine today. One small wagon and a gargantuan step, for Irish Modelling. Well done to all, a really brilliant piece of work. Can’t wait for the Bubbles.

Hi Paddy,

 

PVA will dry to a gloss, some ballast looks ok and some can be glossy when dry. Using a matt medium over it will dull it down. Drying time is dependant on the environment your layout is in. In my last workshop ballast took up to 2 weeks to dry because it was cold and damp. In my new workshop it only takes a few days. All ballast will go a bit darker when the glue is applied.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions lads. Dave can you suggest the colour/ colours to light the ballast

Thanks in advance

Paddy

Hi Guys

I have just done some ballasting on my track. I used a grey ballast and fixed with 50 50 pva after using wet water. However after 48 hrs it look like its wet and a lot darker with a shine on it.

Any ideas welcome

Thanks

Paddy

Wow, They look great, can’t wait to receive mine

In anticipation of the ballasts I started putting together this ssm ploughvan. Quick question folks regarding the side lamps. The instructions say later versions of this van did not have the side lamps. What date ish would these later vans be ?

Hi PJR

 

If using standard track 14.5 to 14.75mm is what you want. The other options are for fine scale wheels n track, especially item 4 in your list, it will not work on standard track, you have to be using EM fine scale....

 

Hope that helps

Thanks Eoin

Emirates has postponed the planned stopover of an A380 in Dublin until further notice.

The decision, which will be hugely disappointing for aviation fans, is due to "operational reasons outside of Emirates' control", the airline says.Emirates had previously confirmed that an A380 "will visit Dublin at the end of March," stirring huge excitement among Irish plane-spotters.

An A380 has never landed at Dublin Airport, leading some to compare the anticipation to that surrounding visits by Concorde in the 1980s.

The Airbus A380, which first entered service in 2007, is the world's largest passenger plane. Emirates is its largest global operator, with 93 A380s currently in service.

This week, Emirates Ireland boss Enda Corneille tweeted that the A380 visit has been "delayed" rather than postponed, with new date a possibility.

Great work Tony, how are you connecting to the points?

Hi all,

would anyone have information on the date/eta for the arrival of an A380 aircraft to Dublin in the near future? Thanks in advance for any help.

The 26th March is what was said a few weeks back but no time was given.
