Very good, your very up to date. Where did you get the crane? And does the jib go up and extend?

Lovely video, just the job on a day like today, I love the oils.

[Bob229]

The weathered A Class with the Cravens looks excellent, really like the oil train and the Bell Liner

[DJ Dangerous]

Absolutely love the 121 double-header! Great to see the 2600 running, even if it was only for a second. What's that hiding behind the last platform?

Outstanding video as always. A day late, you ruined my Friday with no video, but this was good enough to make up for it.

Thanks all,

It must be the NIR 450 class that’s parked on the platform.

Pioneer and Crossley engine fitted locomotive A1 is seen here undergoing trials on Tara junction earlier. 

 

[Bob229]

Crossley engine great sound  the silver A class looks excellent on Tara junction the forthcoming Park Royal coaches would go well with the silver A class

[DJ Dangerous]

Watched this on YT this morning! Outstanding!

[ttc0169]

A1 works its first rail tour….the “Crossley crusader”seen here at platform 3 in Tara junction. 
 

[ttc0169]

Ongoing work to detail the interior of the  Mk3 Supertrain stock….first up is the dining car 7401….

 

[jhb171achill]

Amazing as always, Noel!

Just discovered a nice trick.

Switch on several of the Tara Junction videos together, and just listen to the background noise! Absolutely amazing..........

[ttc0169]

Standard MK3 7101 has been fitted with interior lighting,painted seats and tables just waiting for customers to experience the retro look of the coach. 
 

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

Very effective 

[DJ Dangerous]

Lovely stuff, TTC. Any chance of a close-up of the interior? Also love the little P&T van and the Atlantean.

[Bob229]

Nicely finished and with a few passengers added will complete it

Lights,camera-action…..

With the darker evenings drawing in I have commenced fitting interior lights to my coaching stock fleet,
The CIE Mk3 set has already been successfully fitted with lights so attention has turned to the Cravens sets-the lights have really made a difference to the coaches I just need to work on the steam heating effect….
Some passengers have been fitted and more will be added over the coming weeks.
