StevieB Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The October issue of HORNBY magazine has a review of the new 00 Works 0-6-0ST in its Southern format. It will be out in its Great Southern format later this year. It looks all very nice. Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 84C Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I'm sort of tempted but I thought they were scrapped before the 2nd world war. So I may pass on that loco. And its a chunk of money for a small tank engine even if its beautifully built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Initially I had said no but I think I will be getting one of these after all. IRM nor any other manufacturer will ever do these to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never left Wesht Caaark, of course, but would possibly be a very good thing for a shunting layout; in theory, one outlier might have ended up pushing things about Cork yards, or North Wall to Inchicore, until 1960! Maybe a model of the "Young Offenders" driving and firing it? I'm tempted myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 84C Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Oh! Jhb you are so right and definately a good thing for a shunting layout the temptations are growing, not helped by that Georgeconna posting pictures. Thats a terrible thing to do! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought..... some sort of shunting model of either Penrose Quay or Victoria Quay sidings in Cork - where it DID work - would be an amazing model! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Blarney Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 If you like, you can afford it, you buy it. It is your railway. I have written this in the past - It is your railway and thus, you run that which you you wish to run on it. I have two Irish Layouts. I have LMS Locomotives and Rolling Stock - In my World these are not London Midland and Scottish - they are - Londonderry Manorhamilton and Sligo (LMS) on my railway. South Eastern and Chatham stock - on my railway - Sligo Enniskillen and Colloney or anything else one can think of! Happy modelling.

The builder ended up replacing the chassis, motor and gears to improve the standard of low speed running! It looks like a decoder would have to be hard wired just might fit in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Runs well but well beyond my skill level to do that. Shame there isn't a 'before' video with the original motion which he obviously wasn't very happy about. I thought Mashima motor were in very short supply now?
