86 in Portrush

Number 86 again.

Number 86 today. These photos are of poorer quality as 86 seemed to avoid the Derry Line for long spells and I have very few photos of it.

Just a start to some pictures of NIR GM's, Everyone feel free to join in. 8113 with Gatwick Stock.

Great job, now the slow bit!!

Its number 84's turn. Also some dt's.

Irish Rail 2900 on the "Branch"

Its number 83's turn today.

Here is the video.

Here is an image of the #19 fitted. As I say the coach that it attached to must be fitted with #20's. I have a video made of the stock running but it would take too long to upload tonight.

I had to cut the original ones out as well. The coaches in the middle of the rack have #19's in the original pocket but as I say the next coach has #20's fitted and so on throughout the rack.

I fitted all my Murphy Locos class141's 071's and 201's with the #19 Kadee with the 201's requiring a small piece of plastic card inserted in the pocket below the coupling to tighten it up. The end coupling of the Murphy Mk2's is a Kadee #20 with a 2mm screw fitted, this means that it is easy to revert back to the original couplings if desired. As I run in fixed rakes I then found that I could fit #19's to one coach and then #20's the next alternating throughout the rake and just using the coupling pockets without any mods. This gives me a rake that I can use on 24" curves minimum with no derailments and the minimum gap between coaches. They can also be reversed slowly and the loco can be uncoupled with under track magnets. Some pictures in flickr of the mod and the results. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nirailfan/

The Hunslets were always my favorite locos. Great scenes nice modelling.

Final run of the EMD SD90/43MAC on the Killagan Valley. Trying to reduce my locomotive stock so 118 had to go via ebay. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nirailfan/ Happy New Year to all North American Modellers!
