DJ Dangerous Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Wow, that is a massive layout, yet it's so well done that nothing seems lost or out of place. Reminds me of Dublin!

DJ Dangerous Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 I didn't want that video to end. Do you have sound decoders in one or both? Are they MM 567, 645 or custom decoders?
warb Posted November 24, 2020 Author Posted November 24, 2020 DJD Both locos have Murphys Models 645 sound decoders 1
Galteemore Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Why did I waste my time at TCD going to lectures when I could have been watching this for real ?! Brilliant stuff ! Edited November 24, 2020 by Galteemore 2
DART8118 Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Another great video posting from Barrow Street. So realistic. For speed matching did you use the factory settings in CV2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 or did you set them to your own preferences? 8118
warb Posted November 25, 2020 Author Posted November 25, 2020 The Class 121 from Murphys Models were straight out of the box. The only setting that needed to be changed was CV29 direction of travel on one of the loco's and then checked that they were at the same speed. 1

Robert Shrives Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Looking good - always good to see historic modelling ! A great shame the real ones now out of service. The mods do look quite extensive . Check out Shawplan glazing items he has a range of MK3 lazercut tinted glazing to suit. Robert 1

The mods do look quite extensive . Check out Shawplan glazing items he has a range of MK3 lazercut tinted glazing to suit. Robert I have a sneaking suspicion that WARB is planning to model the Belmond Grand Hibernian rather than an IE MK3 Intercity set. Apart from Pearse-Drogheda Push Pull workings and the odd Push-Pull working down the DSER main line MK3 stock would have been extremely rare at Barrow Street Boston Yard area. The carriage sidings between Pearse Station & Grand Canal Dock were used during the IE era for reversing Pearse-Drogheda and Maynooth services and stabling stock the evening rush hour services. Westland Row (Pearse) was the terminus for Midland Main Line services (Galway, Sligo, Westport) from the late 30s until the services were diverted to run from Heuston or Connolly during the 1970s. The Midland trains apparently were stabled in the bay platforms at the south end of the station before being propelled out onto the main line immediately before departure. I remember watching light engine movements with a black and tan B121 between Grand Canal Shed and the station from Townsend Street as a 7-8 year old on a saturday morning as my father was getting parts in a motor factors. 3

StevieB Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Am I right in thinking that the real Grand Hibernian has stopped running? I wonder what the owners will do with their mk3’s. As no-one wanted them following withdrawal by IE, I can’t see anyone else wanting them now. Stephen
Georgeconna Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 You have to laugh, A top class effort protected by shabby Traffic cone and the sats if the poor siding on the left not too mind the Detritus left about. Looking forward to seeing the end result. 1
David Holman Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Doesn't hang about, does he? Splendid, as ever.
Georgeconna Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Very nice, Wonder would whesty do Stainless etches for this Logos, It would really set that off for you. Painting is faultless too! Wonderful!
