201bhoy Posted December 1, 2012 Author Posted December 1, 2012 Layouts coming along nicely Vincent! Judging by your magazines, remind me never to ask you for tips on upcoming football matches Oh it's ok, I'm just using them precisely because they're old under that is an O'Neills catalogue from 1989!
201bhoy Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 Few more pics... You're probably all sick of seeing 220 by now but she's my pride and joy and I only have 3 Irish locos at the minute! That'll soon change as I think I'm gonna scrump up for 112 and I'll get 229 or 222 in due course
201bhoy Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 Looking good!! Could never get tired of her To be honest neither could I, but seeing as you have an entire fleet of them, I thought you might!
BabyGM Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 The layouts coming along great You could never get tired of 220 especially with those galways
201bhoy Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 The layouts coming along greatYou could never get tired of 220 especially with those galways She'll look even better with a rake of mk3s!!!!!!!
201bhoy Posted December 8, 2012 Author Posted December 8, 2012 Few more pics of how the layout's coming on
BabyGM Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Nice work, The pointwork in the 3rd photo looks great as does the container background
201bhoy Posted December 9, 2012 Author Posted December 9, 2012 Nice work, The pointwork in the 3rd photo looks great as does the container background Thanks! At this stage just really excited about finally getting a train running on the layout!
Barl Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 220 looks the dogs with that weathering job and so do the Galway mk2's
RedRich Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Few more pics... [ATTACH=CONFIG]4329[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]4330[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]4331[/ATTACH] You're probably all sick of seeing 220 by now but she's my pride and joy and I only have 3 Irish locos at the minute! That'll soon change as I think I'm gonna scrump up for 112 and I'll get 229 or 222 in due course I'll never get sick of seeing her Vincent. 220 was always a favorite of mine prototype wise. My model of 220 is one of the prides of my own fleet. I love the original IE livery on the 201's. I was lucky enough to have traveled in the cab from Waterford to Dublin many years ago. One of the drivers that I know presented me with a cab pass and it was a great experience. I traveled in 201 on the return journey that evening. 220 opened up to full pelt running through the flat lands of The Curragh, it was an experience I will never forget. Things are beginning to take shape with the layout, good for you. Rich,
201bhoy Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks Rich! Would've loved to be in 220's cab full pelt, she's my favourite loco too. She's weathered by the Model Shop Belfast, great service!

RedRich Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks Rich! Would've loved to be in 220's cab full pelt, she's my favourite loco too. She's weathered by the Model Shop Belfast, great service! It was a great experience Vincent. Even if the driver reduced the speed down 5 mph you could feel it. It's a totally different experience to sitting in a coach where you watch things pass from the side. The model looks great. Rich, Rich,
Barl Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 She'll look even better with your mk3s! Whenever they arrive, you're not allowed open them until Christmas day :D
Broithe Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Whenever they arrive, you're not allowed open them until Christmas day :D And then only if you've been really good..
201bhoy Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 I know Barl, I won't! 112 and 5 mk3s wrapped up under the tree... should be a good Christmas! Broithe, I've been good, and I've written my letter to Santa!
201bhoy Posted December 25, 2012 Author Posted December 25, 2012 Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Santy certainly brought me what I wanted!
RedRich Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 They all look fantastic Vincent. I'll never get tired of looking at 220, it's class. Rich,
Shinkansen Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 A very happy Christmas indeed over on North Wall by the look of it Well wear with the rake of Mk3s.... Nice one.
Retro Herbie Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Lovely! Happy Christmas, apologies I didn't get a chance to chat the other day!
201bhoy Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 Thanks Lads! No problem Gareth, you were rushed off your feet it was that busy!
201bhoy Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 I know! 220 will always be my favourite, but I have to say that in terms of modelling quality, 112 surpasses it. By the way, has anyone got any photos of a 111 with mk3s?
Robert Davies Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I know! 220 will always be my favourite, but I have to say that in terms of modelling quality, 112 surpasses it. By the way, has anyone got any photos of a 111 with mk3s? From Ernie's fabulous railway archive: Copyright respected, and thanks once again to Ernie for the forethought to capture these images! -Rob
201bhoy Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 Thanks a lot Rob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can operate 112 and the mk3s knowing that it's prototypically correct!
BabyGM Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Nice work ! The MK 3's look great with 112 and 220
Robert Davies Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Thanks a lot Rob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can operate 112 and the mk3s knowing that it's prototypically correct! Ernie's archive is well worth a look for finding the out of the ordinary... or just mildly remarkable to the modeller... 8208 at Waterford in 2004 on Mk3s: 112 at Waterford in 2004 on loaded beets: 112 at Waterford in 2005 shunting bubbles: 2707 Bachmann 'Iarnrod Eireann' railcar set at Waterford in 2005: -Rob
201bhoy Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 Nice work !The MK 3's look great with 112 and 220 Cheers babygm! Really happy with the rake myself! Great to have got all 5 at once, 5 is the perfect number for me, just fits into the platform with a 201 at the head

Retro Herbie Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 I was working in Co Waterford for Dúchas that year, she seemed to be there all the time!
