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.

One of the Reasons I got the kick Noel, tis the IRM printed Transfers I noticed came off with another chaps efforts , I normally used Enamels for the Weathering, Thats what I am used to so Reluctant to go off Piste using some other stuff.

Nice one on the Grey ones, the only ones I did not get, Kinda kicking myself now as handy with the newish Rolling Stock. Mind you I would probably do re paint on a suitable LED headlight jobbie and have the Handrails out. good ol Catches there kid.

Double plus No Vat on the Export invoice and not caught upon arrival, <20 notes a motor. Happy Days They could come looking for it still though.

This good too Enamel Revell 310

Thinking about Weathering the rest of the Weedspray now. Just worried about the printed Markings coming off with my usual spirits based method.

No probs, Spray the primer, Used some pre-shading using Black and white, You can just about make out the white areas coming through. Then used a Sponge with Maskol and dabbed it over the Gray (did not want to use a Metal Colour) Left it dry Spray the yellow and rubb off the Maskol with a Cotton bud. I did not want to over do the Roof as it is a bit worse in the pictures of the real thing. http://briansolomon.com/trackingthelight/2015/08/19/irish-rail-weedsprayer-at-heuston-station-18-august-2015-three-photos/irish_rail_074_w_weedspraying_train_at_heuston_dscf5054/ The white pre shading brings up a slightly different hue yellow as indicate in the ring below, Give a Small bit more interest in the overall Yellow. I added Top hats to the Bogies too for that bit of extra glide not that it needed it I'd say.

In between bits n bobs got the Silver Fox Van kit so working on this now. Need to put that bar across the doors on too, Is that on both sides? Also sperate hand rails and Lamp Irons will be on plus I might out the console inside too. Started the Roof Weathering base on Brian Solomons Pictures.

I can report 18 Digital Cobalts Arrived from Rails with no hassles

Quite! Ala the Limerick Junction Shuffle

Unless the Sender knows the Final Dest is outside GB. Ie your billing address and takes the VAT of the initial Cost. This is a right balls up especially for buying n Selling UK outline Etc, should of went Continental outline a year ago....I must admit I did not know or think the VAT was Strictly gonna be locked in. The Tiny people Get Squeezed to hell but the Corps get away with Murder. Even the price of some Etched Headcodes is gonna be pricey or problematic to get in now. Feel like throwing in the towel now TBH on the GB stuff but too late now. Quite a lot of Model Shops outside of the UK and decided it is not worthwhile supply the UK anymore This is were the Local Models shops in Ireland come into their own, Lets hope the EU Suppliers like Noch, Revell etc now don't have this awful model of UK DC's anymore as a lot of Kits etc are supplier through UK hubs. There a couple in Hamburg, Get me a ticket and an Empty suitcase and I do a trip for ya and collect all ye bits!

MK.3 rakes are mostly too long for the average layout too, I have a rake done on my 12ft long one and it takes up the whole scenic Area. The old Park Royals and Cravens make nice smaller length trains.

You wont get charged Vat Twice Skinner

FYI Kit does not come with wheels had shelve out another 17 notes for a 10 pack of wheels. PITA.

Got my Van kit today, ItJust made it out before Brexit! Good ol Service there from Silver Fox.

Theresa in the field of Corn too and maybe a Faller Maggie doing a U turn. My love of London has diminished somewhat, just not the place I knew in the 80/90's. Much more interesting things in Europe now that I regret not getting to see in my youth Also London does not have this Hamburg Attraction, Astra and Currywurst. Still waiting on a 100 bottle Delivery from Germany, lovely tack. You probably missing this layout in the Musuem Gauge 1 too.

Seen this on RMWEB , a MWL in London without the Currywurst and German beer. Site cost 14 Million so lets hope they have a few pound left for some Murphy models stuff to run on it. The Biurb below says to Feature Ireland too. The giant layouts planned for the attraction include: A 300sqm layout of the UK and Ireland An 18-metre long London A giant USA inspired layout An impressive ski resort The world’s largest miniature airport There will also be a number of dioramas depicting various eras of British History, from the Battle of Hastings to the Swinging Sixties. Other smaller layouts and dioramas will also pepper the location. https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/news/article/view/id/213/
