Noel Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Love it. Fantastic looking layout and stock. Looks about 1972 or 1973, nearing the end of wonderful two axle pick up goods wagons and the onset of containerisation as the first colour light signals appeared. Only the hi-vis jackets bring it into the 1990s. That photo of B145 double heading is fabulous. Evocative of the pinnacle era of Irish railways, when trains were trains, men were men, engines pulled carriages and engines pulled wagons, not a bogie in sight, nor a DMU, and goods trains were properly punctuated at the end with a brake van, none of this fully fitted modernity with just a pair of white lamps at the end looking like a snake that had its head bitten off. I assume your friend lets you drive some trains on that fab looking layout. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 84C Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I very much like that first picture of 385, it has place and feeling. Just needs the driver leaning from the cab wiping his hands! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) No. 800 poses with a GSR “Santa” train. Authenticity assured. She’s getting assistance from Santa’s private locomotive, as those two troublesome trucks are too…. troublesome. …. A39R en route to Foynes, and a J15 with empty cattle wagons for Baltinglass Fair.

Oh dear - that poor VS looks lovely but also as if it’s had an argument with a much bigger engine…either that or that’s a profound case of buffer droop… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
