Nice Bus Scoile would be the Job, Right Across the land people travelled on them, Some people even got to sit next to the driver on the way to school cause they were bold and some people had happy memories of Cogging their homework on the way to school in a panic as that person was 3rd last stop to school and 10 mins away!!..........

I think the Baccy one was a slow seller as it was a predominately UK modelling railway Scene in Ireland when it came out plus I think the N was not really something the Joe Soapers would click with. Heck I did not even look at any Irish stuff until I saw the MIR 141 kit. A lot of folk not going to shows would of never heard that you can make the Rolling stock. Before the Web you would only hear of shows after they happend plus Dublin was a trek back then up the ol road I'd Reckon there would be an fairly hefty uptake of say, J15 or 461 say in splendid green, The box , A Boiler shaped drum it comes in, The Mk2 RPSI and cravens are out there already for it to pull. Even is the UK there is some fairly obscure low runs coming out these days. I thought the OO works J15 was a tad too high price for what it was, A wee Bit Clunky but it sold out which was great but mostly I had hoped the IRM lads would get the slide rule out on that loco for a later release., I expect over the water lads would perk up toowith the possibility of Irish steam locos to buy given the shift to pre grouping locos like the Stirling Single etc there is always the clamour that something that bit different. I'll draw the line at the Orange Diesels and possibly and orange 2600 but after that its too modern for me as my rose tinted glasses go out for focus then. If it ain't gonna happen then I am the richer for it adn wont lose any sleep but I expect some more mobile sheds yet to come. We will C.

Add the gloves!

90 would be a lovely one to kick of, All those Courtmac layouts just waiting to be built! I do prefer the ol steam to the mobile sheds.

not glued on yet! Note taken for later though!

Small bit more on the Weedy. could see some gubbins inside to coach in Brians pictures, Some control panel, a Tank and some piping jsut about seen so said what the heck After all I am up against the super weed spray pack. Gotta put that little Exhaust pipe in too Started some weathering too with the frames and bogies done, Not gonna over do it too much.

Very nice, Wonder would whesty do Stainless etches for this Logos, It would really set that off for you. Painting is faultless too! Wonderful!

Keep Beeting the drum K801.

Dodged another bullet there, Too Far North west for me. Nice to see a Steamer coming out... (Can I say that these days?)

You have to laugh, A top class effort protected by shabby Traffic cone and the sats if the poor siding on the left not too mind the Detritus left about. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Not quite hitting the quite yet, Still waiting to stick the decks down as I am waiting for the sound unit for the past 3 months Also it been flipping Baltic in the shed these past weeks so not even venturing out much. Bit Mild last night so managed to escape and spent 1.5 hours soldering up the 1 life belt rack, Brass rod cut up to 25mm lengths and white metal top and base. Wooden top to be cut next. The Lifebelts go in between the brass rods.

The IR 121 has really popped with the weathering there Noel.

Hi Noel. Looking to be one of the hot layout topics on the forum, Looking good and I like tuning in to see the progress.

Wow those Signal Gantries are just lovely plus the Track road insets are very well done too. Cracking layout

Grand to have them so Dave , get a few quid in the hand!

They Fine but even with the coat of paint around the window frames you end up filing off the paint to squeeze this in. Took me ages to the ones I stuck in.

Is that a bid for 751 notes on that yoke. Man Alive.

Mm thats an idea for some enterprising individual, Laser cut house with Sound effects of Mrs Doyle and Fr Jack coming out of the gaf every so often The bishop then on a Faller road system chasing Ted. Noch do some sound modules Ever a saucy one in barn!

Yeah, easy enough but not great if you buy it RTR. Laser cut plastic sides is it?

I only got this just after xmas, Surely it is the new one with recessed Water Tank Fillers, Hinges etc.?

2nd Coat of Varnish on and the Decals went on with no issues and bedded down nicely, They a Fragile though and some have the carrier film across the logo so need slitting with a sharp scalpel, I used a Point logo from a spare sheet I had as the S/Fox on was just solid plain black with no yellow. Just notice now the door Hand rails should be one piece and not 2 as depicted on the Resin Casting. Balls. Need to seal the de al next, Leave to dry for a few days and a tad of weathering.

I'd say that would pull the skin of quite a few rice puddings John, Fine effort.

Humbrol mate, Sprayed a coat @ 7pm this evening Placed the coach over a heater on low (dont want the yoke to warp) and it cured by 2200hrs. Second coat went on an hour ago. I heated the paint beforehand though. Decals tomorrow if I can get time as we are all called in to clear customs backlogs over the weekend and for the next 2 weeks for so. Tis nuts but look on the bright side those A are a coming!

Cool, I hope the dude doing them took off the previous markings, Some did not and it took the gloss of em. I have to get around to one sometime.
