I was surprised as well when I bought the brass sides, still have to learn a bit about brass, before I start.

Dunluce Castle 25 Posted October 5, 2013 sorry guys for no updates its just because i hadnt had the time, because of our new 7 1/4 gauge Bridget loco. heres 2 videos of it running along with other engines, hope you enjoy it thanks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duaI8r-m-Ug my brothers video. my video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Georgeconna 223 Posted October 7, 2013 Plenty going on with the large scale. Is it next to the Transport Museum. Are those engines mostly built by locals? Smashing stuff there.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mayner 169 Posted October 8, 2013 Excellent work on the locos and stock I especially like the staff snatcher on the U2 and scratchbuilt Brown Van. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dunluce Castle 25 Posted October 25, 2013 Hello fellow friends, As Halloween approaches, school is off for 1 week (yay) which means I can get down to do some serious modelling. What I'm hoping to do, is to start work on a LMS NCC 12ton van. A very unique van. But as with every model, re search is key, to get as accurate as can be. I look through books and websites along with photos to see if I can get any info or pictures on the prototype. I was lucky to find some plans on this brilliant website, which I will be working from. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/content.php/244-NCC-12-Ton-Van-Drawings An order will be placed for more plasticard and some roof ventilators for the van in due course. Thanks Nelson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
33lima 10 Posted October 25, 2013 Loolink forward to seeing this one, Nelson, as I plan on making a few GN or NCC vans at some point. There are some good colour pics of (I think!) NCC goods vans in: 'Irish Railways in Colour - a Second Glance' - p.143; and 'The UTA in Colour' - p.76. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunluce Castle 25 Posted November 3, 2013 Hi, I haven't started the 12 ton van yet as some much needed research needs to be done, like detail on the under frame. But I have started another side project to keep me going. It's detailing a dapol 5 plank wagon. I know it looks messy but it will all be tided up later on, And I know i should have used brass, but I haven't got any so. I decided to make do with plasticard. Any comments, questions, constructive criticism, etc... Please feel free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dunluce Castle 25 Posted November 14, 2013 Hi, This is how it currently stands, I've painted the inside and added rust to the frame work. What do we think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glenderg 270 Posted November 14, 2013 We think it's very nice! Hardly 4mm? R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dunluce Castle 25 Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for the comment. Yep she's 4mm OO Gauge. The interior took a while to get right, but I think I'm there, Thanks Nelson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhb171achill 375 Posted November 14, 2013 That's superb! Weathering looks very well, as does your brown van... Keep it coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dunluce Castle 25 Posted November 18, 2013 So here she is, I think it's finished! What do we think? Would this pass as a BCDR wagon, I know the under frame is completely wrong, but? Edit: better pics will be taken tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

33lima 10 Posted November 18, 2013 What a difference from an RTR wagon or kit! I like my locos and coaching stock clean, but you've proved that goods stock really looks best weathered! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
