NIRCLASS80

Personally I think IRM deserves credit for taking this approach at such an uncertain time. Once again they are taking all the financial risk in a rather unstable world.  
It takes massive confidence in the market to import pallets of wagons when people could be facing redundancy or reduced pensions. 

Congratulations to all for producing yet again what looks like a cracking model. 
 

Most importantly everyone stay safe.  Health and family first, models second!

Lovely video. He’s in a rush for a Saturday evening drink!

PECO Code 75 bullhead, range of points is still very limited but to be increased this year  Lovely track and certainly the sleeper spacing helps reduce the narrow gauge look  

MK1 GSV please.

Hi Folks

A new railway exhibition is being held this year. See Flyer below. I believe there may have been previous exhibitions the last of which took place around 2013.

Any support will be welcome by the organisers

Already advertised about 4 topics down.

That Peco 75 bullhead track gets better everytime I see it.....its got a wonderful sinuous quality that works really well.

The bullhead track by Peco is great but if you are going to use it, follow the wire modification to the points explained on the RMweb forum. 

Irish Rail Baby GM's arriving in Ballyercall

I like the sound on that loco - it's pretty realistic. Does anyone know what type of loco it was recorded from?

It’s just a Hornby TTS Class 20 decoder, good price too £32 and does just fine for a locomotive only used very occasionally. 

Hunslet 102 called into mainline service this evening!

So when are the Keg Liner wagons going to appear??

Who would have thought that this would have been possible just 5 years ago!  Thanks for the wagons lads!

Just couldn’t resist. 
 

Great wagons lads. Thanks for all the hard work. Keep working at those  80 Class CAD’s!

NIR GM111 departs Ballyercall. Stunning wagons 

Like almost all models, dispatched from China!

NIR 209 enters Ballyercall with the Sunday evening service as IR 077 awaits it’s turn. 

Sorry I can't offer any advice but I feel your pain.  Bought a couple of these decoders a few months ago and the acceleration rate CV3 never worked correctly.  

These have been the only decoders in over 25 years of DCC experience that I can say beat me.

That’s a completely new one to me - many thanks!

I’ve a notion I saw a pic of two Hunslets double-headed on it at Castlerock one time - would that be correct? 

There is certainly a photo of that occasion in a book. 

Some funding relief for a few months. Keep up the good work. 

OK as I have been experimenting with the Liner wagon bogies I just thought I would share my findings. 
 

For the last few days I have been running with the 10 wagon set with no modification other than removing the black axle cover at the bottom of the bogie side frame. 
Then very gently putting a small puff of Kadee 231 dry graphite powder in the area of the axle uncovered and then replacing the cover.  
With this method even the Murphy Models Baby GM’s can easily start and pull the rake of 10 wagons.

 I have never had any derailment issues either pulling or pushing but I have large radius point work and 24inch radius curves. 
Really happy with my purchases now that I have a solution and have been running for 5 days without any issues.
