To be shot at and killed by the French! It's a wonder that they didn't regauge a few of these to run in Ireland, they'd have been useful! Your cameo would just about work for 1943, the period I am referring to. The first one was built in 1942. As for desecration, I have posted my Bavarian 0-8-8-0 Mallet tank shunting at Portadown Jct - at least it was BLUE and your S160 is a passable NCC red! Why not go the whole hog and letter it NCC and number it 111, or so? 2

Darius43 Posted yesterday at 06:22 Author Posted yesterday at 06:22 MV heads north past Whiterock Head with some new ballast wagons from France. Cheers Darius 7
John-r Posted yesterday at 14:23 Posted yesterday at 14:23 Ballast wagons are class looking Darius, can I ask did you scratchbuild these yourself or are they a kit, really do look the part.
Darius43 Posted yesterday at 14:55 Author Posted yesterday at 14:55 (edited) Hi John. The wagons are Ree Models HO gauge SNCF hoppers repainted with Railtec decals applied. They are the closest rtr match to the actual NIR wagons that I could find - not strictly correct but reasonably close. Cheers Darius Edited yesterday at 16:16 by Darius43 6 1
