jesus, thats fantastic. any idea how long it took to make it? if you were a real technical guy and into computers (i prersume that one is needed to imput the design), you could really make this baby pay. wonder how much it would cost to manufacturer a freight wagon, say for example a tara or guinness flat?

any pics of her?

dont give up on it anyway,..good luck with the project and keep us posted.

great find.....some fond memories looking at those beauties!

a bit about Barrys scrapyard, owned by a lad called David Lloyd Victor Woodham- interesting reading.. http://www.greatwestern.org.uk/barry1.htm

great..looking forward to her birth!

westy, can you estimate when the new baby arrives?

excelent! your instructions does exactly what it says on the tin! i will look forward to usung that techinque on a few old engines i want to rust in my proposed scrap line!

fantastic!

looks great! stick me down for one please.

try vinny byrne in dublin, he also sells the paint on line - http://www.vinnybyrne.com/

well thats the best yet! i didnt realise that comment was made - espically by the curator of the museum! what right has he to decide on a matter that is as important as this to so many people? that attitude sucks! very disapointing.

cost a frakkin' fortune at the height of the insanity! guilty as well ! i must be the only lad on here who cursed paddy murphy (bless me Lord for i have sinned!). the day i found out about the new 201s was the same day i had just got back 2 limas from grahams after being resprayed into intercity livery and had sound chips fitted .....could have had a holiday for what i spent:(( if only the wife knew.....

i still am of the opinion that the only place for the display is in a musem- it is a hugh piece of irish history. Collins barracks being the ideal location...beside Heuston and the luas. when alternate sites for the display was being thrown about, Collins was ruled out because of lack of space. now that the refurbishment has been completed on the Asgard, and she is on display, i wonder is there any space available now?

agreed there bos, some of the lads are getting rid of the old limas, but i really like them, and they still look good on any layout!

agree with the lads, some great - and simple advice! never considdered a tripod!

i agree with you westy...pityful is not strong enough of a word - f......g ridiculous is the way i would describe it!. the next thing you will hear is that it will be sent somewhere up north.. (like the gods did with C.I.Es 'Meadbh'!) it would be a great loss if we did loose it:(

aye...but the metal was probably floggrd down here!!

another great video! love the clip of 'slieve gullion' ... an absolutely beautiful and eligent lady! fantastic scenery on that stretch of line.

good info there horsetan - thanks minister. heres what happened over here..... pic taken in '63 if 16 locos awaiting the cutters torch in mullingar....sad days! attached pic of the old gantry...not much used now if at all!

yep. more pics please rich. beautiful wagons. was that taken lately?

from time to time i tend to get a little sentimental about the steam era so ihave a search through the net for some videos to relive the great days of stream... but found this instead. get the tissues... this- [video=youtube;pkJjKaJf-As] also found this clip of vic barrys scrap empire. good info of the extent of the vastness of the amount of steam engines scrapped at the intro of the diesel engine in britian

frank....beautiful layout - well done! lovely to see that you havnt forgot the steamers...love the mogul!
