    garfield and broithe-ya two beauties! they are great finds! the BMH is a site that i never knew about, with some facinating shots that i never saw before. must get a copy of the book 'in times of civil war'..sounds like a good read, and just the book to catch up on a subject in history that is little talked about.....also a good excuse to relax and have a glass or two of whiskey:)

    if someone here takes the mother-in-law off my hands i could afford the lot!!! i think having the lima 201's for so long, the novelty of the new ones has worn off!...thats not taking from them, they are a superbly detailed machine and all credit to paddy murphy.....but as ye say the 071 are the bogs wobbly bits! i hope we all get as excited when the 121's (the little beauts!) are announced:)

    tried to enlarge the pic but still cant make it out! at first glance- there appeared to be a sliley face drawn above the 4. but after enlarging it it seems not:confused:.......have a look. a pint of the black stuff to anyone who figures it out!! mogul- where is div 4?
  25. heirflick
    thanks gordon-same little bugger! now we know what type of ceane to look for:rolleyes:....mind you, that one dosent look to have been used in a while! there is a more modern crane shown on repair work on the fergus bridge near ennis in the book called 'rails through the west' which would suit the modern era. love to put it up here but copyright and all that .............maybe jhb171achil can help here! ( if i ask nicely!!!) anthony-good link there -thanks
