NIRCLASS80 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Are you getting the 071's ready for some supertrain Mk2's;) Quote
craven1508 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 those 071,s are purring away patiently awaiting these tasty supertrain crackers!! Quote
ttc0169 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Are you getting the 071's ready for some supertrain Mk2's;) I have to say the Supertrain Mk2s don't look too bad-yes you might see a rake behind those 071s yet....depending on what sort of a deal I can get for 6 or 7. Quote
wheeltapper Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Cracking shot Noel! Those CIE 71's look great. Mick. Quote

Dave Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Superb! Love the containers in the background. Quote
driver301 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I love these scenes with a story. Keep them coming TTC Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Something's always going on at Tara Junction,keep the updates coming Quote
jhb171achill Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I'm looking for a 00 scale hi-via jacket so I can go and take a camera round Tara Junction. Any good B & B's round there? Quote
ttc0169 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks Andy and Jhb, My Mk2 Supertrain coaches got a run this evening behind 087 I'm happy with the set of six,although having been inspired by Glendergs excellent weathering technique I will in time do a similar effect on these coaches-as they could do with some grime etc An aerial view of the junction with 087 hauling the new Murphy models Mk2 set, 084 passes on the down line with my Lima set of Supertrain Mk2 liveried coaches.

ttc0169 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 I seem to be having problems posting multiple photos to this thread of late with this iPhone... Anyway here is another view of the MM Mk2s arriving at Platform 1,with my Lima set arriving at Platform 2. Quote
Broithe Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I seem to be having problems posting multiple photos to this thread of late with this iPhone... I think there's a limit of eight pictures per individual post - not that that may be the problem that you're currently encountering. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Superb Noel 087 and the new set of MK IIs look great - well done on a fine scene. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Lovly shots Noel, and the buses blend in well with the super train era. Quote
Geoff Johnston Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Hi Noel ...have been following Tara junction for a long time and love all the rolling stock that you have...I seen were you were planing a new layout, is there any more developments on that front?????and what size have you to work with....cheers Geoff......

ttc0169 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 Hi Noel ...have been following Tara junction for a long time and love all the rolling stock that you have...I seen were you were planing a new layout, is there any more developments on that front?????and what size have you to work with....cheers Geoff...... Hi Geoff, Yes I'm slowly gathering together all the various bits and pieces for this new layout, I've decided to name it The Claremorris to Athenry junction railway and it will be based on both stations-with possibly Tuam station at one end and a MPD at the other-I have approximately 14'x12' space to work with, I intend to start work in early March....

Noel Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I seem to be having problems posting multiple photos to this thread of late with this iPhone...Anyway here is another view of the MM Mk2s arriving at Platform 1,with my Lima set arriving at Platform 2. Fabulous scene and excellent cityscape. The station and platform 1 looks really alive with all the folk, as does P2 & 3. The whole scene is a hive of activity. The Lima coaches match the colouring of the locos really well. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Great scenes again Noel and the new layout sounds an interesting project,look forward to seeing it develop in March Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks lads, Another location that's hasn't been photographed often is the works area, Seen here is GSV 3177 about to undergo a boiler change and some minor bodywork patching up. Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Another view sees Mk2 EGV 5602,push pull control car 6104, and GSVs 3164 and 3189 receive attention-along with locos 085 and 124. Quote
BosKonay Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Great scene Noel!! Can't wait to see your progress! Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 For all those special occasions why not use the IE Executive train..... Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 071 hauls failed tamper 751 through the junction en route to Kildare plant shop for repairs.... Quote
rebelred Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Brilliant! Love the stories in the layout Noel! Quote
ttc0169 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Afternoon lads...Sunday engineering works on Tara junction sees a top n tailed HOBS train with 078 leading and 082 trailing while on the opposite line tamper 751 does a bit of badly needed tamping. Quote
