I have just been finishing a rake of S&S stock for a customer. Had some lovely crests made up by Chris Moxham. They are a little guess work between myself and a certain Mr Ramsey as no clear photos of the real things exisit. They look lovely in their matching livery.

Nice work. Lucky customer.

........but why have you used a crest based on the MGWR coat of arms and not the GSR crest? The colour scheme seems to be otherwise from the GSR period.

They look very nice, you've made a good job of them. I've been looking into scratchbuilding something from ireland, simply because i like it, despite it being the wrong gauge for me. i think it would make an interesting build but we'll see.

Luvverly!!! I had to get a mop and bucket to get the drool off my keyboard!

Worsley Works has been doing Irish stuff for quite a few years but mainly in 4mm and 7mm. IIRC the do some rather nice etches of Irish standard gauge stock too, including, IIRC some early CIE stuff such as the laminated stock. The Laminates were the carriages that disintegrated so badly in the Buttevant Disaster in 1980.

They are indeed Atropos.

In my opinion they make the best kits on the market
