  1. They should have taken a rake ages ago. I think they such a bad condition now that it would be very hard to restore them
  2. Will Downpatrick buy one do you think?
  3. I'll take on and build my layout in it! It'll make a nice alternative to a man shed
  4. Just wondering, is this glue suitable for gluing track down on the board before ballasting, or is it just suitable for ballasting?
  5. Damn... Cut myself within about 30 seconds of trying to trim sleepers on the upside, I trimmed the sleepers successfully in the end!!!!!!
  6. I'm doing exactly that now, and you're right, it's a NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!! Never realised how annoying it would be having to fit fishplates and cut the rails
  7. That is a good point there. If you already have hornby track from a previous layout, then it can be used in fiddle yards or somewhere like that so it doesn't have to go to waste!
  8. Lol sorry! Here it is
  9. I remember someone saying they had photos of the enterprise set on the Lisburn-Antrim line and I found this pic of the enterprise set at Ballymena. Does anyone know why it was there?
  10. I'm sure you will with the work you've done in the past couple of days!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. I've literally only been working with it for two days, so I haven't got it up and running yet, but I'm used to it now
  12. I've only recently started modelling Irish railways. I was like you ex in collecting continental models but put a big emphasis on SNCF models as I started to develop a big interest in French railways. But you're right, with all the new releases, it's hard not to go back to Irish Modelling!
  13. I think that peco streamline looks a lot more realistic, is a lot more versatile and though it takes a while to get used to, it's brilliant in the end. Hornby track is more simple, but looks very rigid...
  14. I know!!!! I'm insanely jealous of people on here who have such a range of stock: Boskonay and Wiggy yous are so lucky!!!!!!
  15. Sounds like my kind of layout! Do you plan a big station, or freight yard or what?
  16. Looks great? What era or stock are you planning on?
  17. Thanks mate! Looks like TEE coaches. Joeuf?
  18. Or will the Liner train move off with three very drunk IE staff in control? And lovely shots there
  19. he should come over here not many people model the NIR scene.
  20. Definitely loses the plasticy, fake look.
  21. They're the locos I grew up with! Well actually, 121s, 141s, 071s and 201s all used to pass quite frequently until the demise of Adelaide freight yard, but I always liked the 201s best
  22. Never noticed this layout before! http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/52276-belfast-great-victoria-street-station-and-adelaide-lookalike-tribute/page__st__25
  23. Hey! The 201s do have soul! The 071s look better with the mk2s and that's what I'll be mainly putting then with on my layout
  24. Well, I was referring to the upper level one but both look great, and as Boskonay said the full length rakes look great and really add to the "big station" feel. By the way where do those two tracks that curve off to the right into the tunnel in that first shot go?
