Andy Evans Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi, I am just wondering is there any Irish diesels available in O gauge as I would like to model a small Irish diesel shed. If there isn't would there be a need for them. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colmflanagan Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi, The only thing I know of is that Allen Doherty (Worsley Works) lists a CIE Deutz "G" class diesel shunter body kit in 7mm; IYou'd have source a suitable chassis/motor. Indeed, i can't recall seeing a diesel outline "0" gauge Irish layout - except for the Fry railway exhibition in Dublin. Colm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Patrick Posted July 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2013 Don't Alphagraphix produce a card model of a 141? They're also producing etched Irish steam loco kits in 7mm scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Don't Alphagraphix produce a card model of a 141? They're also producing etched Irish steam loco kits in 7mm scale. The brass loco and coach kits are marketed by Alphagraphix as Tyrconnel Models mainly locos & coaches used in West Cork. David Holman's SLNCR blog includes models by Alphagraphix & North Star now SSM. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/blog.php Leaves me severely tempted to give up the 4mm stuff.

Weshty Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Studio Scale Model now manufacture the SLNCR Lissadell and the 4-4-0 PP in 7mm, as well as the T&DR 2-6-0T 4T in 10mm. No diesels though....yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Did I see somewhere a MGWR J26 in O gauge? I know there was a OO kit, but maybe O as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
decauville1126 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Did I see somewhere a MGWR J26 in O gauge? I know there was a OO kit, but maybe O as well? There's one in the Tyrconnel Models range in 7mm, which are produced and/or distributed by Roger Cromblehome under his Alphagraphix banner. One appears in a thread over on Irish Railway Modeller, and it looks, as does everything else on the builder's layout, les boules des chiens. It does not however provide bits for doing the Waterford & Tramore modifications. Usual etched brass construction with a pretty straightforward fold-up rigid chassis which is easily hacked for springing. If a bit on the basic side, this is offset by an excellent price. There are also other locos in the range, all steamers, using similar methods, and all are tank locos. Also some coaches, again at excellent prices. 32mm or 36.75mm gauge can be accomodated. Historically, I think (?) that Terry McDermott may have done the E/J26 in 7mm under his early TMD or SSM banners, as he did do this with many other locos in his range at that time, so an email to Des Sullivan - who now owns SSM and has posted above as Weshty - might illuminate.

jhb171achill Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 You refer to the W & T, decauville.... On grounds of scale, it might make a very good prototype for an Irish "O" gauge layout..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Those photos of the locos sure bring back memories, I spent a couple of hours spell-bound at my first model railway exhibition watching some faultless operation as Harry shunted a large collection of hand built cattle wagons and non-passenger coaching stock with a pair of his GNR tank locos. Harry Connaughton was a real gentleman and professional builder back in the early 1970s. At one stage there was a large display of his locos and stock in Southern Model Railways in the Grafton Arcade, a hand built 4mm locos.. Some of the locos including the GNR tank locos appear to have been built in batches, in additional to the GNR locos and he also completed a large commission of ex-MGWR locos for Canon Nicholson in Portarlington.
