Function 15 on the DCC sound Decoder!! LOL

Bitteen of Video. Forgive the Ladies gabbing in the Background

Another dit done today, come up for lunch they said!!, 3 hours work and the Fun bit you could say was started. We saw the 1st engineering trains run on the loop to check clearances etc...any excuse. The Coach brought the directors up to inspect the work.

No Thats DCC Fitted. This one: http://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=10555

Marks Models have knocked this one down to E119.99, Its the Blue 4 Car EMU. Gonna get one of these myself now!!

I heard last week that Adavoyle was going to make an appearance this year but now I take it is not the case from as it is not on the list?

How good does that look with the Bell Containers!!! nice one ECM...

Sometimes the clubs have had enough of Exhibiting after a year nearly gone, I found that out with the Cork Fair No Clubs were available to attend. You have additional expenses to meet as well for Traveling to and from the exhibition so sometimes it aint worth the lay out(forgive the pun). A club needs to be started in Cork really....

Still tipping away over the past few days, Time is difficult to come by as herself is working nights so kids need to be looked after. Using Microsol which softens the decals over a gloss surface this works the decal into the nooks and crannies, never go without the stuff The Cabs were Sanded down with some 2000 grade wet n dry The cabs were masked off and chassis n cabs sprayed with the delightful grey colour The Cabs yellow areas were masked off,make sure you get these on straight as it looks a bit off when done wrong not to mention the waste of time correcting it...Believe me!!!! The yellow was sprayed using Revell Satin Yellow. Nice finish and Dries quick too. Also on the go is one of these. I have two to make...MIR 071, Its been re-scribed which takes a fair bit of time.. Also a couple of coaches came through the door and using some 1mm masking tape to mask the Lining off these have come up quite nice. thats all for now..Off now to listen to the End of Eds indie Disco on Today FM...

Just been flying this baby today, Its second flight. All EPO Foam. 6 Channel, 125mm Wing span (just gets into the Car) Twin Brushless EDF,3300MA Battery and it flies and sounds like the real deal along with a Fantastic Performance. Bring on the Next good day!!!

Great post, If you aint been to the Isle of Man go, Its a great place, Load of Railway stuff and 100 of other things to see as well!!

Mrks Models Will be there, Surprise!! Those into Plastic kits will have the IPMS Nationals on as well http://forum.ipmsireland.com/topic/8703325/1/.

Were ok for now but should the need happen ill be in touch, Do you have Points as well as could do with maybe another 1 or 2.?

Don't worry its not me:eek::eek:

A couple of hours spent again on the Garden Railway, This time we finished off the flyover and bridge with shuttering and poured the Cement in. Also filled the Gaps in the Block work and eased out a curve I did no like as it was just too tight and put some shuttering around the outside to make it a bit more presentable. Also started work in the Bridge piling (concrete block) and now working out how to make the bridge. To Electric fence post in the piccy will probably do the trick. Loads of Craic to be had Literally!! I hope to have two days off this week and depending on the weather and If I can get the sprogs looked after by someone else for the day the track will be started. Cheers George

Plenty going on with the large scale. Is it next to the Transport Museum. Are those engines mostly built by locals? Smashing stuff there..

The Cork Branch if the Irish Railway Record Society will be holding their AGM as well as a Slide show by Ken Fox tonight from 1930hrs in the Metropole Hotel, McCurtin Street. Ken Fox will be presenting a slide show in Irish Railways over the past number of Decades. Looking forward to this one!! Cheers George

Hi Lads, Just wondering if you know if any alternatives for the procurement of 141 sound decoders. I know the Belfast shop do them but I need them asap for a project and there is a bit of a waiting list by all accounts? Are the Available from the Soundguy direct at all or any other source? Maybe time to by a programmer.... tks George

Thank god, Saves me doing a repaint of one!!

15 years old and bashing the Brass, Fair play to you, I hope to pick up a few tips along the way!!!

Still coming to terms with the size of this layout, The Retaining wall section looks like something out of Kings Cross!!! Wee bit jealous I must say!!

Great game, Best team won for sure. Hopefully we will be back again next year and next time I will get the day off......

And a big boat as well tucked away, The para jumping is excellent.

Love that Reverse curve up the Station. Wow. Trains going though that must look fab. On a small note I would maybe take the Height of the footbridge down a wee bit as it looks a bit too high on the platform. see the pic on this link: http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway%20Stations%20C/Campile/slides/Campile_20101019_002_CC_JA.html

Next Budget: Man Cave Tax: E10 per Sq ft.
