The Derry Road Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Love the wagons Eamonn, the vans also look the part. Very nice indeed TDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshty Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 You've always something on the go Eamon! Love the rusted IFM Cement wagons, they really look the business, lots and lots of detail there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently trying to finish off the Dapol Esso tankers with the SSM brass detail.Having finished the ladder and walkway,just to sort some small detail before painting.

Kirley Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Like your buses Eamonn, are they Jim Poots or Shapeways kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Eamonn, what paint did you use on the curtain side cement wagons? Tom, just for historical reference, the MIR Price list on Wrenneire's thread refers to Revel No51 Blue for Curtains sides, and Pallet Cement Blue (no other manufacturer of number quoted). Would be interesting if you have any in the toolbox to see how they match up. I've seen Eamonn's Cements in the flesh and they really look they business!

enniscorthyman Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I bought this nice Bullied open wagon at the Dublin show,and could not resist 077 joining the fleet either when she was going for 139euro.While at the Wexford show I picked up two nice transits to add to the fire fleet.

enniscorthyman Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Just finished building the Provincial Wagons CIE Bullied open wagon. Nice little kit and very enjoyable to build. The running gear underneath is a little tricky,just take your time.A nice kit for anyone who would like to try a resin kit for the first time.I used a bit of scrap brass for the things that stop the door from fouling the running gear.Not sure if they look a bit thin,I can use slightly larger scrap brass if needed.

Kirley Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 They are looking good Eamonn, I used brass strips as well, a lot easier than 2 staples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enniscorthyman Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I used grey primer on the body and then found out that the tins of grey paint that I had stored are useless so I put on some rust wash and a bit of weathering powder. Sorry about lighting in photos as I had to use flash on phone due to poor light in shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 I brought my provincial open Bullied wagon with SSM 30t van down to Gerry's Ballybeg last evening for its first run. 230 along with IFM open Bullied belong to Gerry.I think the looks very nice and both wagons run very well.

NIRCLASS80 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 230 looks great. Its just about the best C Class I have seen. Great modelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniscorthyman Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 I think it's a nice simple short train that a C class looks well on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Superb scenes and photos. The C class looks stunning. Love the small train - brings back fond memories of small loose coupled stock movements out west in early 70s. Was it awkward to fit the lights?

Love the small train - brings back fond memories of small loose coupled stock movements out west in early 70s. Was it awkward to fit the lights? The lights are directional and involve 3 mm white LEDs wired to the soundchip: Blue wire to each positive via a 1K resistor; White wire to negative of forward LED and Yellow wire to negative of reverse LED. There is some unintended light spill into the cabin but this nicely highlights the driver figure added at both ends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiretrains Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Lovely photos Eamonn, it reminds me of the kind of short beet trains which ventured out to Fenit and the likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRich Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Very nice Eamonn. The woodwork looks good. The fire engine will look cool when the lights are working and give it that extra bit of realism. I like it. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Keep the photos coming on these projects. Great inspiration for the rest of us. Which LEDs and resistors are you using and how is it to be powered, Eamonn? Photo of 'the works' would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
