Scenery painted and rocks painted base black. Slowly coming together. This is a lovely outline to work with. Small play while waiting for paint to dry. VID_20251009_233542.mp4 VID_20251009_233028.mp4 -

2nd that, bit of of the way but great set up. Got to sit in a Sea Vixen there too! The last one is a Sea Venom, Not a Vampire. -

Not a job I was relishing due to the mess but the hills are alive with the sound of mixing pollyfilla. Applied and then brushed smooth with a wetted broad brush. -

Cheers Phillip, Yep, Not sure what happened but these are the ones I actually ordered.. Damn. those are German for sure. got them on a sale some months ago and should of paid a bit more attention when they arrived. I'll probably for for the Krois model jobs as they are spot on. -

Next thing is a signal or two. Now I got these 2 OBB signals but I don't see them it any photos. I have found a website that does the actual correct outline so should I ditch those and go with the correct ones? -

Finally finished all the spans, hopefully it gives a good representation of the real thing, few more detail bits to be added as we go on. Kinda fulfilled a boyhood urge of doing this since I got my 1st loco in the 70's that had pantographs but of course no wires. I managed to bag that 1st ever loco at the Dublin show last year and it is pride of place in my display cabinet.

This is all based in NI with some really nice scenes in it. The SLNC Loco slipping with the cattle train is ace.

Too Kind Leslie, I too turned my nose up at NG for ages but perhaps I now long for a slower pace these days! I find myself viewing quite a lot of lovely European NG railways and these really capture my interest these days. Somehow I don't see myself getting to Austria anytime soon but hope too in the future at some stage. Maybe get Air Power Airshow in at the same time. cheers George. -

Pantograph testing with the 1st span installed. Next one later this week. May need to do 4. Note to self straight platforms are easier. -

Been a while since my last post. Busy ol summer out and about along with a wee bit of plastic modelling plus the daughter got into UCC so budget is well squeezed. Anyhow put these gantrys off for too long but lots of reading and the Somerfelt catenary book came in handy. Look pretty OK. Towers a bit over the scene but tis to scale. -

Sorry DJ, dont check in here much anymore. It was finished in the end and running (I did not take many vids) but sadly my father Died in Feb last so the railway is being maintained but maybe it will live again in my own garden at some stage. I don't have the heart to take it up right now, Until orders are received from my Mum then I will take a look at it.

Yep, The model railway stuff that you could turn over to our friends in Blighty and even sometimes make a few bob on those special collectables is now a near worthless millstone, Just keep it now to enjoy but buying less and less now . Too much stuff anyhow.

going up in price again in Sept. From September 5th 2025, the customs administration fee payable will change to €5.95. Customs charges and administration fees are payable by the receiver on items coming into Ireland from outside of the EU/EEA
