    Madra = Dog Cú = Hound /pedantry.

    Very much doubt IE would be up for the idea of public access to any part of the works. Best of luck to all involved, I'm rather too far away to be of much use.

    The first building looks a bit L&LSR with a dash of GNRI, the style of the porch sticks out like a sore thumb I think.

    Who thought a bus could be so, well, flammable?

    Get a spare body and go painting/chopping that instead? That way you can always shift it on if circumstances change.

    Enough of all this modern schtuff. Music went downhill after WW2 imho.

    Both started life as WL&WR Robinson locos (named Derry Castle/Lough Derg)....not sure about converting to DSER locos, far more bodging to be done around tanks and look less graceful to my eye than the L&Y/WL&WR ones. On the con side, there were only 2 and didn't survive into CIE days.

    Either GSR class 267 or 491. Even though they were sisters, the GSR put them in two different classes.

    Or Cork & Macroom Direct.

    It is Youghal, turntable is still there if anyone has a shovel.

    Just to clarify, 'Black and Tan' is usually a cover-all term for both 'Temporary Constables' and the later 'Auxiliaries'. Due to a shortage of police uniforms, the TC's were generally supplied with a mixture of army khaki and bottle green (bordering on black) RIC uniform, when uniform supplies normalised, the full dark green uniforms were issued but the B 'n T nickname stuck and was used to refer to both forces.

    http://www.scalerail.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=10634 Is this anyway close to an ex WL&WR 0-6-0?

    Wouldn't mind a single decker, though I'm guessing these releases are British buses that just happen to be the same as/similar to the Irish equivalent? Probably nothing available that would pass for a 'P' class?

    Wear a hoodie and a back to front baseball cap.

    The only advertise in the Irish Times, so they don't get the riff-raff, lower orders and the great unwashed. Keep an eye on the rpsi website is what you do.

    No details apart from those given by an 'expert' in the NM. 'Model Steam Train Engine; number 22. The Dublin to Wexford railway line. This route was constructed by the Sharp Stewart Company of Manchester, 1865. Re-built in 1891.'

    The National Museum was bandied about as a venue and they were having none of it, unsurprisingly. They do have this little gem, probably gathering dust in the bowels of a storage room, was it from the Fry collection originally or where did it come from? http://www.museum.ie/en/list/artefacts.aspx?article=6be86067-a764-4507-9907-7891c46f455a

    In CIE 5c carried a fully lined out livery for its short movie career. Did 90 and 184 carry 'heritage' lined green before or after they were on the preserved list? Think 184 was still active whilst in green, 90 may just have been dolled up for display at Fermoy.

    Pretty sure I saw a pic somewhere of one of the Inchicore cabs, a sister of 90, carrying lined green in GSR days. Maybe in one of the HC Casserley books? I think one of the last MGWR locos to retain green (Luna?) bogged about in its old livery for a good while before finally getting repainted.

    Smells of fudge. Quelle surprise.
  23. minister_for_hardship
    Too soon? For a slightly later period, I was thinking of getting a suitably scaled Lancia armoured car and a wee power unit....
  24. minister_for_hardship
    Was intrigued by a caption along the lines of 'New Dutch locomotives, Inchicore'....only to find a shot of G classes.

    Well, they did call them 'bras' over here when the short hi-vis came out first!
