Sorry to bore the hole off you lads but another bit done this evening. I chose to obtain the Viessman lighting kit, product number 6726 for €5.63 each as opposed to around €14.00 each ready to plant options. A simple, enjoyable and dare I say an exciting outcome, They all worked! one wire had come off a LED but easily soldered back on. Ignore the platform edge sticking up, its not glued down yet. toying with a few lights in the station building.

Shame it ended as such really. TBH I would not be showing me face.

Hi Folks, Bit of an up a down this week, The Steam loco is kaput for some reason or another. No blanking plate to test of dcc so had to order a plux 22 decoder to test if it is the decoder or otherwise. bit of a shame that, Probably need to go back to Roco for a fix. This is the 2nd issue I have had with a Roco Loco where I had to replace a motor in a barely used 1099. On the plus side my order for a sound equipped 1099 arrived so had a little play with that. electric locos really sound weird when compared to diesels and steam! It is an upgrade of the earlier models I bought with LED lighting and cab lights. I preferred the Filament bulb glow really. Also some passengers installed in 2 coaches, you can barely see them! Got some viessman platform lighting kits as well and 2 cranes from Kibri. hate string being used for cables so will change that as they never hang straight down.

Thanks but stíl loads to do... Another bundle coming from Gerrmay today. Spending far too much on this!! Little vid. HnVideoEditor_2025_11_25_000915515.mp4

Added some Walthers HO lights to the station and engine shed. Got these ages ago and they fit right in.

Oh this looks special! Love the last photo. Oozes atmosphere. Tuned in big time.

Are the Cylinders on top of the boiler on that loco. Traction engine style? Looks like a good start!

I tried clay and it failed. Air dry stuff, All cracked up. Went carboard in the end. had this pop up on my feed recently. Loads of others.

I find they just adds to the overall atmosphere really!

Nice one Lad missed that completely! I was wondering, will have to wait so for a Southern option.

I have the Hornby 08, Happy with that but needs Stay Alive installed at some stage. Sound is a bit naf and no lights so could be an order for my 1sty AS loco! Looks great and the DCC sound is fair too. Is there any payment plan set up yet to spread the costs? Tell me where was this one based please? Nothing on the serial and I have tried a few Databases.

Hillside being tackled. The RTM Green keeper is the business.

Final bit of rock face done, bit of a lawn and a veg patch going it and some flowers.

Bit of lunchtime fun.

The postie Brought a nice train pack from a shop located in Graz Austria called KUK Modelbahn - Home and after an enquiry the chap advised he had the train pack I wanted but I could only pay by bank transfer. Oh!!! Some research on the net about the owner made it look legit and some money was transferred and fingers and toes crossed the pack arrived today. phew. It Consists of a DCC sound steam loco RH399, coach, Bogie Van and 2 roller wagons and 2 standard gauge trucks as loads. Only downside is no lights on the loco but I might look into that at some stage. I also got delivery of a 4 pack of Roco 4 wheel Passenger coaches which were on offer from €184.95 to €99.99 from Modelbahnshoplippe. I think I only need a couple log wagons to max out the stock I need to make it interesting and will call it a day. In the pack also were to rollerwagons and here they are on test with the diesel. Here is a video or the real things inaction. HnVideoEditor_2025_11_03_200608908.mp4 HnVideoEditor_2025_11_03_201413450.mp4

"here are also private property no right of way signs up going into the yard" - be grand. who dares wins.

This is wonderfully shot https://youtu.be/-c9LrMTKmwU?si=YTCENVT4hYR5lAbR

Slowly getting there with the rock faces, just a little bit to do now left

Danke.

I'll be lucky to be alive if I buy anymore model railway stuff. I am maxed out with Irish outline at this stage I reckon but hell yeah they pop with the Hunny. I will look forward to seeing these running at some show in the future. Totally forgot I ordered a Rapido Sound 01, that's coming tomorrow. fingers crossed she is out! Right up your street!!

More done on the rock face. Noch wrinkle rocks. Look the biz. VID_20251022_204845.mp4

LOL. Maybe next Dublin show. 3 days is a long haul though. Hopefully Wexford 2026. Sunday morning ECS. Need some pax. HnVideoEditor_2025_10_19_132211201.mp4

nicely done Patrick. You must be pleased with this one. should really pop when the brass safety valves and other details get their lick of paint. neat trackwork.

Bit more grass laid and a little play. HnVideoEditor_2025_10_15_231313534.mp4

Scenery getting added slowly. Using wrinkle rocks By Noch basically a sheet of paper that u scrunch up. Its says these are UV resistant and they are a tad pricy for what they are. Look good though.
