heirflick Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Lads - does this baby resemble anything that ran on Irish metals - possibly with a different tender?
burnthebox Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) If you can check Waterford Station tread page 2 by heirflick you may see a loco of a similar style !! But I'm sure someone will be along very soon to tell you more, & I'll be watching with interest !!! Edited March 17, 2015 by burnthebox
heirflick Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 that thread was by StevieB, with that pic by Riversure. shes a J15 - lots of differences. there must be something out there that im missing!
StevieB Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 There will be a family resemblance to the NCC 0-6-0's. Stephen

Warbonnet Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 The 4f would be much bigger than a J15 i would've thought?
Dunluce Castle Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 NCC V1 if your happy to live with some compromises
burnthebox Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Can anyone put up some pics of these loco's & so maybe we will be in a better position to make a decision,
Eiretrains Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) NCC V1 as previously suggested, it would make a nice conversion, the smokebox probably the obvious difference at first sight. Edited March 17, 2015 by Eiretrains
murrayec Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys The 4F is a ringer for the SG & SG2 there were 15 of them which CIE had 8. Main things to be done is; Remove the top of the Belpare boiler and make the sides flush. Add sand boxes to front spalshers and fill in between middle and rear splashers. Change the dome to bigger and rounder top. Install ovely windows in cab. Remove hatch on roof of cab and fill. Cut back overhang on cab roof. Remove railings from tender and extend up sides in solid. You now have a SG2 with some beautiful detailing!! Eoin Edited March 17, 2015 by murrayec f4 to 4f!!
minister_for_hardship Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Not a million miles away superficially...
Mike 84C Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Minister, thats where I am going to take my 4f, I think the Ncc V1 would be nice but the 4f boiler looks too large; as are the wheels for the J5 just depends what you can live with.
heirflick Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 many thanks for the replies - great food for thought!
