Garfield Posted August 7, 2014 Author Posted August 7, 2014 Mine came this morning, glorious looking, am looking forward to a nice glass of Bordeaux and a little quiet time with it later :) Hope the missus doesn't get jealous! Enjoy! Mine was waiting for me when I got home... I've had a look through and, apart from one or two minor niggles, I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. Quote
Glenderg Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Niggles? Jaysus pat, it's a million miles from what it used to be, thanks to your efforts. The improvement on the drawings is welcome though..... Some fine articles, and not a railcar/plashtic in sight. Quote
paul greene Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Although I got my New Irish Lines a few weeks ago, this is my first opportunity to say a huge well done to Alan O'Rourke and Patrick Conboy. The new layout and colour is simply superb and lifts what has always been a great publication into the 'wow' class! It was well worth the wait and I really do look forward to the next one. There's not a bad article in there, but my favouries have to be Arigna Town and Alan Edgar's beautiful NCC 'Whippet' which is an outstanding model. But it is all good and shows just how vibrant the Irish modelling scene is. Quote

Good modelling is good modelling though and can be enjoyed no matter what the subject matter is. Well done team! Quote

Garfield Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 The November 2014 edition should be arriving through letterboxes around now. Apologies for the delay... I encountered a few technical issues at my end and real life got in the way, too. This issue includes an article by Jeremy Clements and Michael McMahon which is a companion piece to their book, 'Locomotives of the GSR'. It focuses on drawings of the company's locomotives and kickstarts a series of drawings which will come bundled with future issues of the newsletter. This edition includes drawings of classes 280 (M1), 342 (D4), 400 (B2), 402 (B2a), 495 (M3), 850 (P1), 670 (I3), 710 (J15b), 700 (J15a), and 800 (B1a). Quote

Warbonnet Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Great edition as always. Really enjoyed the GNRI VS conversion from a Hornby Schools by Colm Flanagan. This GNRI steam is really starting to appeal..... Maybe when the soldering skills become more refined I'll be plumping for the SSM kit. Quote
jhb171achill Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Superb production as always - well done Garfieldsghost and Alan. Quote

The Derry Road Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 This has been my first copy of New Irish Lines and it is superb reading, great Magazine:tumbsup: looking forward to the next issue.TDR Quote

murrayec Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Hi I just subscribed- been meaning to do this for a while and you reminded me! Eoin Quote
Kirley Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 This magazine has jumped into a whole new level of professionalism. The photographic reproduction quality is suburb, both black & white as well as colour. My only regret is in the past photographs of interest were so grainy that you could not see the detail but no complaints now. I enjoyed Colm Flanagan's builds both coaches and GNR(I) locomotive which are on my Things to Do List for 2015. Also Jim Edgar's piece on Gatekeepers. Having met the man I now know not only does he bring us those wonderful Markle Videos but is a vast well of knowledge on Irish Railways. Then there is the GRS drawings and.....well just the whole magazine is a wealth of information. Quote
Weshty Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Well done to Garfield and Alan on this one. A great magazine and great that it is now in high resolution. I look forward to a good read of it this evening. Quote
Mike 84C Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 New Irish Lines has just hit the doormat(Tues am) just browsed through I think its excellent and the loose leaf drawings are a real bonus. Quote
The Derry Road Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Yes, its just dropped through the letter box, looks like a bit of tasty reading tonight. TDR Quote
Junctionmad Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Alan does a fabulous job, and has been personally very helpful to me. I have subscribed today my self as I think his efforts should be supported Quote
BosKonay Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Woohoo, just got my copy in the post today!! Well worth subscribing folks! Quote
Weshty Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Likewise, super stuff, plenty info and loads of loco drawings. Quote

DiveController Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Hopefully the large pond doesn't hold it up to much. Looking forward to it! Quote
popeye Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Just got mine today, another great read. The drawings are nice but i don't model steam so drawings of wagons & coaches would be nice to see. Quote
