kevo Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi all i have owned one or two irish locos over the years but never got round to actually building a paticular layout strictly for irish stock . most of what i have built has been to run a multitude from different countries uk . usa etc . as my interest wonders . any way this eve i have got my 141 class out of the box and on the track to get my irish interest stimulated again so thought i would share a few pics . its shown on my small micro layout hope you like it cheers kevin 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Thanks glad you like it . i am really not sure what wagons i could use or get a way with . may be fertiliiser or even cement as the silo could have multipurpose use . i am allso not quite up on what wagons are avaible being a novice to the irish railway scene ,i have looked on irish rail freight site but since i last looked which would be a year or two back . the wagons section has got a lot smaller . no box vans or tanks etc so i guess i need to do some more looking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

General freight was transported mainly in ISO containers and swap bodies on flat wagons in scheduled Liner Trains, dedicated Company Trains operated to transport commodities such as cement fertiliser, and oil. Irish Railway Models https://irishrailwaymodels.com/ range of wagons basically cover the Liner Train era Provincial Wagons http://www.provincialwagons.com/ basically cover the traditional wagon load era that ended in the late 1970s Edited September 6, 2019 by John M 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Thanks John for the info thats really interesting . especially regards when individual wagon loads stopped . i mainly like 1970's through to 1980's so known ing now my 141 is 1970's post super train livery helps . probly my most favorite loco is the C class in i think as you say the 1970's livery 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hi all it was some time a go that i placed a few pics of my 141 loco on a layout project that i was building at the time . well in the end the layout got scrapped but i did save all the buildings and it got recycled in to box file so even tho it looks more or less the same its shrunk but the same loco have ing ( pretend ) been in traffic for a number of years is now in a sorry state but still rumberling on hope you like it 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirley Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 A loco crying out for a layout, going by your buildings it would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Thanks Kirley kind of you to say that . over the last few years ive mainly only built small or micro layouts as any thing longer than 3-4 feet i end up never finishing . i may have another go at a layout i did build some time ago iit was based on a side ing that run to a off loading shed for some military fire ing ranges set on the edge of marsh land. here is a couple of pics 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hi all i originally intended my micro layout to be based around a cornish china clay works but as normal with me my interest in other regions creeps in and as a result i am now back in to irish railways so i have decided that it will have to adapt to all my needs so i thought on the lines of a come Fertiliser come gypsum and pos cement theam if that makes sence . i have just recived my batch of irish railway models hopper wagons and i have to say they are excellent and a pack 8x pallets of bagged fertiliser from the same seller . i was hope ing 2 get some cement bubbles but all gone and same with the fertiliser wagons . so ile just have to be patient any way hope you like progress so far . there is still work to be done . more pics to follow . 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 thanks Kirley . considering that nearly all the buildings came from my original layout it was a case of what i could squeeze in to a boxfile 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonbelle Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Lovely model, loco and the diorama. I Just found this thread, in connection with a 0 gauge 141 i have build in cardboard. It is an Alphagraphix Kit, in colour printed card; which i strengthened with art card and applied varnish. Important to varnish surfaces both sides to stop warping. The loco is subject to further work; albeit ive got it running now, using a Lima o gauge class 33 chassis. A small o gauge Irish layout beckons. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
