Nice kits and good prices as well. 1 Quote
Noel Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Great find Dave. You must have an aladdins cave hidden under the stairs. A treasure trove Quote

It would be great if PM did some more running numbers to go with these or even better some Park Royals! Could that be a future IRM project now that you are in a position of some influence? IRM spec Park Royals would be really something especially in earlier liveries. 1 Quote

StevieB Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 I always thought the prototype was a very attractive loco, albeit made in quantities of one! Stephen Quote

I may be wrong but I think that John was a trainer in ANCO Cabra back in the late 80s. He was also involved with Cheeverstown. That's assuming it's the same John Byrne Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted May 14, 2020 Author Posted May 14, 2020 Welcome to the site Yoda My info on John is mostly hearsay, although I did meet with him a couple of times Some info here: Quote

Galteemore Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Did Ellis have an SLNC pic in that book or is it in one of his others ? Quote

Noel Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Jeepers Dave your producing some absolutely superb brass models. 1 Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted June 2, 2020 Author Posted June 2, 2020 I wish Noel, as far as I know he may be selling some soon, but more than lightly without wheels and motors If there is anything of interest drop me a line and I will pass it on He's very shy! 1 Quote
KMCE Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 The 850 is on my list of locos to build. Developed the drawings & nearly cut out at kit; the mill did not cut through the sheet, so kit is sitting on a shelf. Must get back to it, as it is a very nice loco. Your secret builder moves rather quickly it has to be said! Ken 1 Quote

Galteemore Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Very nice. Looks like a Leinster kit, the way it’s set out! Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted June 25, 2020 Author Posted June 25, 2020 Don't think so Galtee, not many Leinster kits still kicking about However I do remember when we cleared out McGowans workshop some years back that the place was littered with kit parts, what they were I do not know but we filled a couple of boxes full of all sorts I do think though that this is all scratch built, I will check whenever I can drag him out of his workshop! 1 Quote
