Cork - Cobh line

[Mr Bob]

Hi, Has anyone on here ever modeled any of the stations on the Cork to Cobh line ?

thanks

Other than Cork Kent itself?

Unfortunately PukeBucket has pulled some of his wonderful photos of his model (unless one cares to be extorted by them)

There was someone had started doing Cobh Junction (Glounthaune) on here or maybe it was the old web site. I remember they had done a survey of it but I'm not sure if it progressed any further. 

Cobh Station itself would be a great choice to model. So many options....with North Esq or Marino Point as optional sidings. Which one(s) are you thinking of doing?

No. I remember there was someone doing Cobh Junction on its own. But it was quite a while back and might have been the old web site.

I am thinking about doing Cobh Station, in a sort of Generic way so that I could run steam or diesel in it and it would still look ok. The buildings would all be correct but in a hypathetical era... if that makes any sense for example, there was a fine water tower/ coal shed and a turntable, long gone now but I would still include them even though on the odd day, there might be a DMU motoring past .

Basing it on the early 1960s would allow a greater track plan than today, plus steam and/or diesel. And in steam days it would be six-wheeler heaven! A couple of Roderick's J15s will sort out the steam era, as they monopolised it in steam days..... then 141s, if you can get them at a half sensible price, and IRM's A class when they're out this year.

Ferts, bubbles.....

A very distinctive and scenic line, small stations with staggered platforms,  distinctive bowstring viaducts and a fascinating riverside section through Rushbrooke.

The railway was quite "rustic in the 60s and 70s most of the intermediate stations still had a short very rusty siding still officially open to traffic into the mid 70s.
