Georgeconna Posted March 7, 2018 Author Posted March 7, 2018 No Stevie, Shes gone back into Storage. Cash seems to be thin on the ground these days, Even 201's for €115 euro dont sell!! I'll probably try Ebay for these when I get the time. Cheers George Quote
Glenderg Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Jaysus, can't be having that. If it's still available, I'll take it off yer hands. Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 The box says N class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whaaaaaaatt!!!!!!! The N class ran in the Republic of Brexit, not here!!! Theyre K1s, not "N class"!!!! Where's my rifle? Quote

jhb171achill Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Whoever prints their box labels can come into the quiet room with me, and I will "re-educate" them! Pills? I've swallowed three bottles of them, and a pint of cough syrup!!! "N class"! Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh OK, I'm in the quiet room now. Goodnight...... A N D...... it appears to have a YELLOW flying snail. Why? No steam engine EVER had a yellow flying snail! Now I need smelling salts and my toes are curling up. 1 Quote
Glenderg Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 JB, if it helps, I'll rectify the model, repaint in the correct shade, the weather it to within an inch of it's life. Deep breaths brother... Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 The pills worked, Glenderg...... I'm calm.........! My fits of the Trembling Conniptions have eased..... all is serene! 2 Quote
Glenderg Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Since you're clearly having your hot cocoa, I may even do a few tweaks on it, make sure it has that broadstone look? I do like a kettle, but she'll never, sadly, be a Sambo (That's of course if I get it - @Georgeconna) 1 Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) The nurse put those funny salts in my tea again this morning...... It's actually a superb loco. AND - as always - ANYONE who manufactures ANY Irish prototype has my 101% support. Edited March 8, 2018 by jhb171achill Quote
StevieB Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 At the risk of causing upset, box actually says Irish liveried version of the SR N class mogul. The could have given it the Irish classification of K1. Whether we’ll ever get a RTR U/K1a is anyone’s guess. Stephen Quote

Surely there's a British RTR version of the actual SR N class? Quote

I do like a kettle, but she'll never, sadly, be a Sambo (That's of course if I get it - @Georgeconna) It's one loco that probably did have the odd black example in the very late 50s..... grey, obviously, earlier, and also some in lined green I think. All needed would be a EDN snail instead of the yella one! Quote
Georgeconna Posted March 8, 2018 Author Posted March 8, 2018 Hi Richie, Just seen the Message and PM'd you there now. I can turn it into a K1 and just have it broken down into parts for you to reassemble when you get it, Just like the real deal! Cheers 1 Quote

There is the option of painting white circles on the tender and smoke box and run her as an oil burner, post-war? 1 1 Quote
jhb171achill Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Absolutely! An oil tank would need to be put in the tender, and this makes me realise that I'm unaware of ever seeing a photo of above or inside an Irish oil-burner's tender. Anyone else? Quote

I wouldn't mind seeing that either. It would have to be a shot from a bridge, I suppose ... or maybe the oil tank is bigger than I had envisaged and not cylindrical?

DiveController Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Refueling an oil burner, different loco, same square tanks Another with taller tender and scarcely visible tanks and a pair Edited May 15, 2018 by DiveController Quote
minister_for_hardship Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) There's an actual loco oil tank in a very public place somewhere in an Irish Rail station, if you know where to look! Painted grey and barely noticeable, last time I saw it. Edited May 15, 2018 by minister_for_hardship Quote

minister_for_hardship Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Eastern end of Waterford. Where the car park is wedged in. Edited May 15, 2018 by minister_for_hardship Quote
DiveController Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I hadn't noticed the white circle being offset to avoid the flying snail. It was white and not eau de nil, correct? Quote
