kirley Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 The end of the 50's saw the demise of the GNR and it's rolling stock farmed out North and South. Here the UTA have managed to repaint the 900 Series but the 700 Railcars are still in their GNR livery. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunslet 102 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Lovely shots Kieran,the 3rd,4th and last pics with the blended in background look like a typical overcast day in NI,beautifully captured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletchj1 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Kirley, Great 6 & 7. As Hunslet102 says, - great nostalgia. I saw them running in their later years, running as 2-car on the GN line mostly to Lisburn. I made an MED set using WW etch sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletchj1 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Kirley, I am highly impressed with all those railcars and locomotives you have made (or converted). I have a few questions:- How did you power the railcars?. Obviously you will have used the existing drives for your NIR 3000 & 4000 units but how are your MED, 6&7, AEC cars, NIR DEMU's and your 'A' class powered?. I powered my own MED, 1 and 4, GNR 'A', with small flat can motors under the floor and made a power bogie for my SL&NCR 'B' with the motor inside the guards compartment. My own 'A' class and 121 & 141 are powered with Athearn drives. When I saw 6&7 running they did not have the white roof dome over the cab front, nor the side skirts. I could imagine the white dome would not have fared well in the presence of steam locomotives!. Again, - I am highly impressed with your overall layout and the multitude of unique Irish rolling stock. Keep it up!. I look forward to seeing more!. Regards, Jeremy. Regards, Jeremy.

kirley Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks Jeremy for your kind words. I have to thank Colm Flanagan for starting me on the MPD’s back in 2014. I used Black Beetle motor and dummy bogies for all the Railcars. For the MED I used a Replica Motor chassis and the Class 70 & 80 are Lima chassis from Class 117 DMU & Class 33 All my A Class (Silver Fox) locomotives have double power bogies from Hornby Class 55 locomotives but I have a Q Kit A class powered by a Bull-Ant motor chassis. My 121 Class has the Athearn chassis and my Railcar B has a Spud motor bogie. I’m looking forward to seeing more pictures of your stock.

fletchj1 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Kirley, You certainly make some impressive stuff!. I will send some photo's of some of mine and you can let me know if they came through OK. Your A class drive looks impressive. It looks like you have connected the pick ups of both bogies so both motors benefit from the best pick up. I didn't do that one one loco and I would have one motor stalled while the other was trying unsuccessfully to push it along. I learned the lesson and corrected it. Does each bogie on your A class have all wheels driven, or just the end ones?. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
