Mayner Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 3 hours ago, Noel said: Spent many an hour watching train movements from the office in the old mill tower Our office was on the corner of Grand Canal Place and Harmony Row, with a great view of the railway from the staff canteen. Although it was a fairly modern 4 story building with brick cladding, it was demolished or possibly re-built as a 6 stroy office blocl with curtain walling, totally different in character from when I worked there about 20 years ago. At the time there was not a lot of variety in train workings DARTs on inner suburban workings, Arrow railcars on Maynooth line services & 201s & MK3 push pull services stabled on the line between Pearse Station and the Boston Yard for peak hour Northern Line services, 201 Class running through on the Ammonia and bulk cement trains to and from the Cork to the Belfast line running to the Boston Yard on weekends to run round. Power on the Rosslare passenger was more un-predictable with a single Bo Bo sometimes working the train if an 071 was unavailable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IE ones have a different bogie and buffer type, IRM might even get a lighting pack in them too. What do you think the real ones are - they are JJA's with buffers at each end and 5ft 3in bogies. Nothing overly special about them! Great work on the layout and stock warb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm171 kk Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 The freight livery 071 looks great hauling the kegs. If the Guinness traffic lasted just one more year that could've happened in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warb Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Haven't posted for a while as i was in the process of shifting the layout to allow for other works at the northern end at pearse station.

StevieB Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 How very devious, but also practical, to take the track through the side wall of the station where it can’t be seen. Stephem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Holman Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Beautifully made. All those complex roof lines will have needed some serious geometry to cut out, while the fit is pretty much perfect. Top job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 That's a lot of glue, what about PVA glue? it would be easier, just brush it on and seal the whole thing at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warb Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 I find the contact glue better and does not lift when in place as per pva and i find it quicker to install but still a pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a fair bit of skill too, those tile lines are excellent. Not much room for error in 4mm scale before such things start looking wrong. Proper job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
