    I model Irish Railways CIE & GNRI From 1960's to 1990's.Some are kits & others are bought and kitbashed. some are made from scratch. All rolling stock is wheathered which i think makes all the difference & realistic.I love to see other peoples work & i know how many hours it takes, but it's worth it.

  1. This thread is waaaay of topic.
  2. You could say you've got your work cut out for you.
  3. Here are a few examples of the real thing and a couple of models. And the last one is my own design in laser cut wood.

    Still, nice to see my favourite loco out and about. Someday these will be gone too, then it will be very dull.
  5. I drove all the way to Dublin because Marks Models had a sample on display, it was like going to see Oliver Plunket's head.
  6. Northern Ireland is in the UK. Heads will roll
  7. Sad news. He will be missed, RIP.
  8. The loco looks great too. Did they pull these small carriages?
  9. Nice pictures I see from your second picture the lower foot step is a little out of line. This happened to mine. It catches on the axle box and needs to be pulled out a little, as these are metal it is easily done.
  10. Looking good with the A46. The colours match well.
  11. HATTONS CIE 4 COACH PACK. As this is the last thing I will ever get from Hattons it's nice to end on a high. Lovely coaches with lots of detail and nice crisp lining and numbers. Thanks to Rails of Sheffield for taking this project on.
  12. My set of 4 coaches arrived today, they look great with lots of detail. I haven't had a good look yet.
  13. This loco is on the Silver fox models website in ready to run and kit form, with a choice of liveries.
  14. You can checkout Irish Retro Transport, Ed O'Neill on facebook, he does lots of posters and more. He sells these at some of the railway shows.
  15. There are a lot of little rivets/bolts on the side panels that are very distinctive on these wagons. But they seem to be omitted this model.
