The clump foliage looks pretty spot on. I really like it, I had the same stuff, tried it but put it away. must retry again!

nicely done that.

1st build of 2026. The VTOL YAK-38. Hataka Lacquers were used with AK Acrylic varnish used at the end. Interesting jet.

It is Fran, I have similar amount of UK Coaches not to mind the wagons on top, daftness. Picking up things here and there it soon mounts up and will I ever get the my opus magnus done is the question given with the cost of the hobby escalating. Same for the plastic kits I have bought over the years, all add up. The 6x3 HOe layout I would say is topping €1000 notes and that's not including stock! The stream is costing about €80...crazy Its not a price thing for myself its practicality really. I get envious of the lad with the samller layouts like Arun Quay Keep up the good work!

Peach of a model and looks fab next to the Hunnie. looking up my collection listing I am topping now 83 Irish coaches which is a ridiculous amount to have and then have the Parkies to come so I think I have maxed out the coaching stock at this stage myself sadly these won't be added. Need to start culling me thinks..

Off ebay now as home has been found for it.

exquisite buildings Kevin. Are these exteriors photographed and then laid out over card?

Gotta keep these gals 2 happy! More expensive than Trains!

My Grandfather initially worked on the Southern from Nine Elms on Top link (signed photo from Bullied of day of the 1st MN to leave Waterloo in my mothers house, need to locate that), Then went Barnstaple where my father was born (1945) and then moved to Erith (SE London) and was on Electrics from Waterloo so Defo SER. Retired in Tunbridge Wells with Dementia so never got to talk to the man really. Lots of Cuneo prints handing in my Grandmothers house. all lost to time... Bloody sisters muck that up I reckon.

Hi lads, this was my grandfather's SER lamp. Had it since he 1st joined, stamped 1938 It's taking a a few knocks and I don't have the skils to repair it. Any ony know of a person on Ireland that does repairs to these things? I need the handle the band to hold the lens in and the back of the oil Bath to be reattached.

I think looking at the consist the train has defo a bar car!! That's AI for ya

Or just drop me a line...

Happy New Year Folks. Hope 2026 is a good one.

Hi Folks, got these but they don't suit HOe so looking to move these on so never used. 2 x 40292 uncouple unit "Universal underfloor decoupler suitable for retrofitting for all two-conductor DC track systems" Easy install. 1 X 10522 Switch unit to go with the uncouple unit "Single button for decoupling tracks. This unit is suitable wherever power needs to be supplied for a short time. The individual buttons are electrically separated and can thus operate different circuits" Looking for €50 posted.

in Dublin jack?

Wonderful Action Noel. Just subscribed there too!

Looking forward to seeing the whole loop in action, should be immense and it is a joy to see something totally different! Keep up the good work and all the best for 2026

Why would they drag it on themselves if the low IQ are carrying on like that I expect the lad will get a string of abuse. Just shows the standards that people uphold themselves to these days. Give me the car anyday. Went from Birmingham to Telford the other week, Bought tickets, Conductor came on, checked ours, all ok. Asked this other passenger from another continent for a ticket and my god the Conductor could not get through to the dude and eventually walked off with no ticket produced. Next time I will do the same.

Cripes the darker green GS might have won me over despite the double chimney, Just lovely. curious to know what the little yellow items are on the tender sides? tarp ties downs? Lifting Lugs?

Minute long Vid of the steamer in action Finally installed the Plux16 in and it works so the dud Sound decoder is going back to the vendor who will kindly sort it out for me.

I'll be sitting in the dark a lot, there is coach lightning needed now

Phew, beginning to get the DT's as it is Slack week for announcements all around.....:)

Yes Charcoal or Rubber black is a less stark colour, Good choice.

Finally got the Guest house wired and roofed and looks nice and finishes the setting. This was laser cut card and wood from Igra models. Excellent kit and quality.
