RedRich Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The Dutch van is in need of a proper coupling,while the plough van is far too clean and when time permits will get some dirt and grime on them. The plan is to refurbish my 12 ballast hoppers with proper vacuum pipes,and I have spotted some nice brass wheels for the side of the hoppers which I persume let the stones out underneath. Sounds good Eamonn, plenty of projects to keep you busy. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enniscorthyman Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Just a few photos of a39 on her first run on Gerrys Ballybeg.I did take a video,but for some reason did not come out.I am much happier with the extra weight and proper bogie sideframes not to mention the bass reflex speaker gives a much better sound. I will do a video again when I get a chance.Not sure if the video will show the better bass reflex sound to good effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulzer201 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Have to agree with the contributors Eamonn, she is absolutely class and looks equally smashing on the Bells and the Cravens. Gerry's layout completes the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRich Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Lovely Eamonn, as the lads have said the SSM detailing kit does wonders for the Silver Fox model. The headlights like nice also. Even though I have no need for them, I think I will have to invest in a Bell 20' to pose it in a scene, as you see them located in plenty of places around the country. No matter which model from any era, Gerry's layout seems timeless. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20ft Bell containers are from C Rail Intermodal and cost only £7 each (£8 for the 40 ft Bell which is also very nicely done). The two 20fts plus one 40 ft came to less than €30 including postage. On Ballybeg I have placed them on two IRM flats made for me by Model Shop Belfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enniscorthyman Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Next on my work bench is- 1.a39 will get two new traction tires to improve performance. 2.I am thinking strongly of a bass reflex in one of my sound chipped 071s,which will need some work on the chassis and cab bulkhead. 3.I will post up photos of one of SSM signals that I want to have a working LED in the lamp and possibly a light in a shunt signal on the same post. 4.My ballast wagons will get upgrades on hand wheels and pipes. I will start these in the new year,so hopefully people will enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulzer201 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Looking forward to these developments Eamonn, your certainly both skilled and brave to fit the base reflex, but no better man. Can't wait to hear the GM roar! Also, the SSM signal and shunt signal will look the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enniscorthyman Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Some work that I did in the last few weeks. I had a go at weed spray tanks,while using bits that I have lying around,mostly from a large amount of prestwin chassis leftover parts.The tank itself looks fine but I think is a bit too small in scale,and the walkway on top is a bit wonky. The Bedford SS schoolbus is on the workbench at the moment. I am waiting for some parts for my ballast wagons and have new brass hand wheels plus bearing inserts for the prestwin axels.

Shinkansen Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Crikey, I remember seeing those buses on the roads as a kid back in the 80s. And they were fairly antique then! Will make a very interesting project. Nice work on those Cement wagons (on the other thread) by the way. They look the business. They'd make a very nice looking consist, hauled by a 141/181. Oh one more thing, The modern hand wheels by 'Model Etch'... been combing tinternet for something like these. Thanks for the tip-off Cheers, Tom.
