Hunslet 102 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Top notch again Noel,your sperry train looks fantastic,but your fertilizer train with the 071 in CIE orange and black is more of an appeal to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc0169 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 I had a visitor from the sunny southeast this afternoon when enniscorthyman brought his two axle ballast train with sound fitted loco 190 along to assist with some Perway duties alongside my current HOBS train with sound fitted 011077, An excellent and enjoyable eveing was had operating the various trains, Eamonns sound fitted A39 also made an appearance hauling an ITG Cravens special-both locos sounding and looking great.... Both ballast trains are side by side awaiting clearance into the Perway possessions. A busy scene on Tara junction-190 awaits clearance to discharge ballast while 077 has discharged some of its ballast and is propelling back to load again. A39 works over the up line as maintenece work is taking place on the down line A39 operates through Tara junction station at a reduced speed of 25mph.

Glenderg Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Love the contrast of the old ballast against the shiny new auto's. I'd be old skool all the way. Is that the longest pw train on the circuit? Enjoy the few pints lads, well deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 God,jaw dropping stuff having paid first visit to tara junction,such an incredible collection of irish locos and buses.i hope to get some video tomorrow so hopefully we can show the sound on a39 to good effect.Neol was impressed with the sound off a39,and as the a39 Sound project is not released yet,I will try to give people a chance to hear it for themselves if it can be arranged.

Hunslet 102 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Great shots again of the layout Noel,a great comparison between the old and new style ballast wagons,I really like the look of the old style wagons,they look similar to the old GNR type hoppers.The layout has a different story to tell with each picture,its a credit to you and I am sure running sessions could wile away many hours.Great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Excellent stuff Noel. It's fantastic to see the different era's modelled as I can see all the liveries I grew up loving. I love A39 and Eamonn has done a superb job on her. I can't wait to see the video. The choices available to you for running sessions is limitless and I can see how you can disappear into the small world and stay there for hours, and that is what it is all about.

Southern Yard Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I think Tara junction needs A39 permanently, it looks fab! Bring on the videos would love to hear her with sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I got some video of A39 ,and of course the very minute I started to record we had trains dividing and A39 shows she needs more weight as she found poor grip with the cravens and van.Had a great time watching Tara Junction,an incredible layout,all credit to Noel. I think I spent 3 hours watching the action. Now bare with me on the video,I have it on the Hard Drive camcorder so I may see how to post up here.

enniscorthyman Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Good to hear your 071s are going well. Its hard to believe its a week since the Ballast Ex-Enniscorthy paid a visit to Tara Junction in order to help with engineering works.The folks who traveled on the ITG special with A39 were very happy with the railtour.

[ATTACH]10079[/ATTACH] Many thanks Noel, its nice to see them close up, the weathering is excellent, right down to the dirty numbers, it was rare to see a clean fert wagon, maybe just out of the works, the fertiliser wagons got very dirty, Shelton Abbey was a dirty kip, the dust was everywhere, loading fertiliser in places like New Ross or Foynes, then unloading it in places like Athenry or Farranfore in the winter in poor weather, the wagons where always dusty, very unusual and rare to see them exWorks.

enniscorthyman Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 As has been said so much happening on this layout,and I think about 3 hours sailed by before we knew it.Sorry about the delay on video as It s taken me ages to upload to youtube-must get better internet connection. I was wondering what Noel thought of a39 sounds as not many people have heard it in the flesh. Gerrys ballybeg had them on show last year,but its hard to hear the sound proper at a show. Noel gave the thumbs up to the A39 sound chip,and in case you are wondering,the chip only has F2 horn sound hence why it has not been released yet. As can be seen from the video A39 needs more weight,and other than that runs very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Really enjoyed the video Eamonn. I've been a fan of Tara Junction for a long time and love seeing Noels updates. Seeing trains moving on it is fabulous. I've watched it myself a few times and top marks again for A39 she looks great. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
