Getting bitten by the Irish bug...

And I'm not talking about a taste for Guiness...still prefer a good quality bitter, I'm afraid. Whilst researching the Irish Rail coaches for the ERG range, I'm really starting to see the appeal of the traction scene over the water and increasing numbers of my former "demo" coaches are now sporting Orange...so far three each of Mark 2d and 3.
I reallylike the look of the De Deitrich Enterprise stock, with the GM-style Driving trailer and the new IR mark 4 coaches with the platypus-esque DVT and have a feeling that some conversions based around the GF Mark 4 may not be far off.
So what to use for traction...? I've ordered a 3D Printed Class 201 bodyshell from Valve Design, which is now shipping. This is designed to fit the Dapol 66, which I happen to have going spare and I'm really looking forward to getting this built and painted. Could be the first of many, methinks.
From what I can see, there's precious little Irish N Gauge around, so perhaps I can do my bit to give it a bit of a kick-start. Who knows how things may develop?
