lets hope that deutschbahn didnt get into bother after posting it for us!

paddy nearly had the colour right in the pre production model of the 71's!

glad to help rich. got the 'railways in ireland 1834-1984' there and very helpful they were too! 2 great pics in it....a full side view othe CIE experimental turf burner and the second is a classic- military police stand guard as a RAF shackelton aircraft awaits clearence for take off at Ballykelly...while a belfast-derry train crosses the runway! where else would you see that?

found this little shop called 'Buffer Books' which deals in second hand and of print railway books , and they have a section dedicated to irish railways. might be of use to someone out there! heres the link http://www.bufferbooks.com

good on ya richie...thnks for that! some great pics here:tumbsup:

sentinel.....https://railsofsheffield.com/bachmann-32-101-class-08-d3729-br-green-diesel-shunter-32-117-JJJA6002.aspx away you go now and get one! shes not hornby but im nearly sure the side boxes can be removed. for the price id chance it anyway!

the 08 will be great practice so!!!

maybe if they painted the buffer beams red?

theres as much chance of that happening as there is me becomming the next Pope:bishopbrennan:

that loco lift is a great invention - will deffinately get one. thanks BTB!

shes very drab looking - that livery wouldnt do much for me! still - i wonder will paddy produce one? it wont be that hard do a respray anyway! thanks for the vid deutschbahn:tumbsup:

lads , have a look at the wanderers pics...they show 4003 after an overhaul and respray and carrying the new logo. it dosnt look that bad!

great pics as usual, and the pics of the new logo on 4003 really does not look too bad!

now your talking!

job done, thanks luke.

good review-'an iron deadness sort of grunt'.....now thats the best description of a motor sound i ever heard! lovely model though

dave, transfers came from westy.

steven, she is far from perfect, the cab doors (which can be left open on this model) are to far from the cad face, but it will do me nicely! hattons are selling 08's for 49 quid at the moment......go on - get one....you know you want too!!!!

very very tasty!...lovely bit of kit bashing:tumbsup:

i'll take them snapper.

ger, got a hornby 08 and the beauty with this model is that the storage boxes at the sides could be removed to closely resemble the D class. this one is sound fitted and runs very well.

:stunning work...that will be a first class layout when complete!

too late - i scoffed the bloody thing!
