Biography
I model Irish Railways CIE & GNRI From 1960's to 1990's.Some are kits & others are bought and kitbashed. some are made from scratch. All rolling stock is wheathered which i think makes all the difference & realistic.I love to see other peoples work & i know how many hours it takes, but it's worth it.

Some new wagons weathered and Hunslet 101. Palvans from Enda Byrne (CK Prints) Parkside grey Palvan. Refrigerated Containers on flat wagons. Not numbered or logo like the real thing but with very narrow planks you would need very small numbers. Some new pic's of NIR 101.

Here is a picture of the little cranes used in the shipyard, they seem to have rail wheels so they would need rails.

Some more models to look at. Class 2700 railcar, been after one of these for years and finally tracked one down all the way from New Zealand. I weathered the underframes and added two hand made dummy Scharfenberg couplings. Murphy's coal wagons and flat wagons weathered. Irish Shell and BP was repainted and transfers from SSM. 6 wheel wagons were hand made as were the sleepers and weathered.

Somebody liked BELL containers. I think that covers everything.

Looks similar to the old Hornby one with those containers on it. This one is an inner flat so no buffers or normal couplings. Good price with 3 containers £58.50.

I find the site is confusing with pricing, it sometime shows price with VAT and then no VAT. I just ordered some H vans and had to pre order but it then gives the option to pay but won't take the payment. So I don't know if I have ordered them or not. It should say that payment will be taken at a later date. And it is not in my orders either.

I'm half way through building a skip lorry to put them on.

Some weathering projects. A selection of models painted and weathered. EMD 12-710 engine is 3d printed by Rusty Rails. Barrier tank is from Enda Byrne.
