colmflanagan Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 You probably can blame me for the narrow K15. Alan did some GNRI coach etches for me back in 2013? to fit on the mainline/Bachmann LMS coaches. Naturally as a result they don't match his "standard" ones When last I looked the narrow ones are still on his list as quite a lot were built (I did 20 odd...)

kirley Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 The main work has been finished Andy but there is still loads to do including a new control panel.

kirley Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Kirley Junction [original layout 2012-2019] Sometime back I was asked for a plan of my layout but never had one. I gathered up some photographs showing various sections and I put them together in a video. The layout has undergone a few changes since these photographs were taken. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

citadel12003 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hi Kieran, Great wee video and lovely pictures of the layout. It looks really well, with loads of typical Irish "charm". You should be really proud of what you have achieved so far and your "train set" does you much credit. That is a lot of work. My hat is well and truly doffed, sir..... Great to see you at the recent UMRC Show in Belfast - just sorry we didn't get longer to chat. Tom 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirley Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) After building Provincial Wagons CIE Cattle Wagons I put them behind some J15's for a run round Kirley Junction. Some ex GNR(I) Cattle Wagons also make an appearance. Hope you don't mind the sound effects, that's how I remember these Cattle trains.

Mike 84C Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 A cornucopia of J15's, like the pacing shots really good. Have you left the roof's loose for loading later? Must get my track working again, got train envy. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirley Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Thanks Mike, yes the roofs left loose until I decide whether to add cattle but I don’t think they would be easily seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie10646 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Ah, Kieran, your layout is a working advert for my wagons. Glad to see the first Provincial Wagons Fairs Special, complete with the nice antique GSWR brake van. Exactly my reason for doing the CIE cattle wagons and from the number of five packs (should that be six-packs?) I've sold, others have got the message. You win the prize for the first completed train. By a coincidence, I included coverage of the last Fairs Special on the Tullow Branch in a talk I gave here in London last week - 22 of those modern CIE cattle wagons, but a 20 ton brake, two Laminates for IRRS members and a six wheel sleeping car for the staff. Well done - as ever a delight to see "Your Line". Leslie 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achil Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I absolutely love that layout, and the sheer variety of what's to be seen on it from the lineside. hats off to you, and long may your posts continue! Leslie's cattle trucks look great. I can almost smell the "country cologne" off them......! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 6 hours ago, kirley said: Jeremy Suter Irish Kits. Vans completed and at work on Kirley Junction. You did well to find a pair of Jeremy Suter Irish Wagons high quality kits and fairly rare. It looks like you have the NCC rather than the GNR version of the container wagon, with its distinctive inside sprung axleboxes. Jeremy produced a small range of Irish wagon kits about 20 years ago GNR(I) IRCH (Irish Railway Clearing House) standard covered van, GNR & NCC container wagons with bread containers, MGWR Loco Coal wagon, UTA (ex GNR Bread Van?) parcel van and there were plans to produce a GSWR 14' cattle wagon. I have built the GNR van & container wagon and MGWR coal but have not seen the UTA parcel van. While the kits were to a high standard Jeremy only one batch appears to have been produced of each kit with no repeats. I lucky enough to discover the GNR van kits on Jeremy Suters stall at Warley about 20 years ago and bought the other kits as they were announced on New Irish Lines 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
