Brexit Kingsbridge Style - BR to CIE

[Noel]

Don't worry its not politics.

 

Since 2012 the layouts stock has changed - out with BR and in with CIE. Just found these two photos while tidying up photo library post migration away from PhotoRustBucketRansomWare

 

Out - British Outline - LNER + GWR + LMS

 

In - Irish Railways - Córas Iompair Éireann

Yea I know but I kind of miss driving toy steam engines - choo choo!

 

The sound of EMD locos notching has kind of made up for it through.

We could hope for a J15 or 800 I suppose

Both available as kits - though €€€€€€

What's a kit? (in jest). Jonathan there is some hope of me attempting plastic or resin if they are comprehensive precision kits, not a bag full of plastic flash. But brass, eek, I have neither the skills, patience, time nor inclination for the same reason I use a gps chart plotter to navigate at sea instead of a sextant. Hats off to the few brass masters here with the talents to produce quality results. Now a J15 would be nice to have if perhaps one day in the future an RTR one makes it into IRMs catalog. Time has moved on. As to an 800 I could only dream of commissioning Meabh from one of the resident brass maestros. But it would have to have DCC sound, lights, whistles and flickering smoke box glo

 

PS. Actually I've five plastic kits in the pipeline.

Did I say anything about brass?

Hi Kevin. No indeed you didn't, I was replying to Jonathan's post about kit availability, both kits are brass. An RTR J15 (101 class) would be nice but I doubt viable. Cheers. Noel
