All the clichés in one...... RUC vans, young lads with petrol bombs, British army jeeps, the works.......while a 2.6.4T (real!) Jeep made its way past with a ballast train, and an AEC set pottered through in the other direction on the 11:15 to Londonportadown..... Ya sounds like a good plan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the newsagent was selling 'The Portadown News' they would also have to sell 'The Portadown Times' , 'The Banbridge Chronicle' and 'The Lurgan Mail'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Derry Road Posted July 19, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Hi All A further update showing the latest additions to the fleet, A rake of Dapol modified tanks to x 13 molasses tanks pulled by 036 revealing 8 new MIR bogie ballast wagons. I’ve also replaced the dummy signals on the station side with new working colour light signals made from brass rod, strip, wire and ladders with the 3 aspect heads from Berko and Railtech, ground shunt, theatre and route indicators, hoping to connect to the panel this weekend. Some pictures showing the changes to the yard too with two new hoists, fuel point and tank in place. I have to thank Geoff Johnston for providing the old style NIR logos for the two blue hunsletts all three hunslets are are running well with sound added to all three, There is also some pics showing the inside of the signal box and shed.

Popular Post The Derry Road Posted December 7, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2023 Hi everyone, just a quick update on the layout. I have been putting this on the back burner for a while and finally picked up the nerve to give it a go, having watched several videos, this is the results so far. There is still lots to do to the river and the waterfalls to achieve the finish i'm after. The pictures show the last two days attempts thus far.

Enjoy TDR OMG - Or as Miley Byrne might say 'well holy God'. Sublime scenic effects and clever use of spatial effects. Torc waterfall eat your heart out. Stunning. It looks so real it could be 1:1 scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
