International Warehousing & Transport. thanks :D but does that mean that particular 201 class does a certain job on the network unlike the ones that don't have it? Alex They used 215 for the launch of the service but it was seen with the branding still on up to a week after this. They often but...

Scratchbuilding and kitbuilding at its best
One word describes this layout, AWESOME take a bow sir the level of detail is amazing and in n guage!!!!

I think the decoder is Hornby. It's a Bachmann GWR pannier that I bought about four years ago when I started modelling and I would have asked the retailer to install a decoder for me. I'm pretty sure he would have installed Hornby. If the chip is from that era and its hornby its definetly the cause...

What about replacing the name as well as the number? Also, it looks great :mrgreen: Alex Mr Court off course its done wouldn t do it half arsed :wink: , but you ve brought up a good point on the 201 originally it was intended to have 2 Irish and 2 english nameplates but as far as i know River Suir ...

Now for the local engine, River Suir 226 which has to be my favourite of the IE 201 class :D . This one started out as 229, now i don t normally attack €150 plus locos and as this was my first MM built number change over i was a bit nervous but i think it turned out pretty good. To remove the decal ...

Looking good Alex,
Like the view from over the tunnel looking down on the station.
Good to see a little Irish influence setting in

Those cl 70's are really ugly, can t say i m too fond of the cl 66's either, give me a 47 or a 37 then id be smiling!!!, we re celebrating over this side off the pond as IE are doing away with some plastic railyokes.

Once there under tension there fine, i only use them for smaller details and handrails more than 20mm are a big no no. There also great for aerials for roofs etc.

Just adding the finishing touches to this its been on the workbench for a long time........, http://images.yuku.com/image/jpg/a2e1604bb8337ca2bf524fb8e74d14f516db6abc_r.jpg Basically its a mIr hunslet which i did enter for the kitbuilt competitiion but i didn t get to finish it on time. its gti'd by...

Im not 100% sure but CIE had general purpose wagons for all types of goods and livestock it was a box wagon with a removablepart on the roof so id say thats what they used for guiness, in modern times it was 20ft flatwagons with a special removable cage like they have on the keg delivery trucks afte...

Well, its not really a kit but part of it is :D , I used a dapol 20t tanker kit which i needed to cut the chassis to shorten down to the right length, the rest of the chassis was built as for the instructions. Then for the fun bit, i used two halves of a kinder egg and partially filled it with a lea...

Alex,
Use a grey ink rubber(there a bit gritier than the blue/red ones) works out a lot cheaper than the hornby/peco version plus you can buy them in Wexford!!!!!

Ah relief, I can focus on my Irish Stock if the Class 67's are not due until the 4th Quarter ;). I wonder how much the RRP will be?
