Just removed the Covers and the layout looks like this so I can't do any running at the mo sorry,

Might do it or Perhaps johnsons clear but I doubt they have the strength to hold this kink down. I'll have to think of something though! uh oh misses found the box it came in with, flipping value is on the outside. If you don't hear from by tomorrow call the cops! Slipped up big time mates.

Well got it out and it stikes you as a lovely model. Stuck it on the track and the sweet sound of Jet Turbines was jheard. Nice a smooth runner. Cab lights and all that Jazz, The Lower 2 Front lights should not come on for Forward Travel and should be red for reverse running, The Tender lights are red. after a while I noticed.....The Footplate, How the hell am I gonna fix that little bump I dont fancy trying to shovel a bead of Super glue under the etch there TBH. Once Slip and the finish will be goosed. Tis on both sides.

I'll try there kid. all my point motors are being sent to the UK at the moment to get fixed, I'll see if I can get this across the points first!!

Get in! Just in the door in time for Lunch time testing!! Tax man missed that one too! Had a Resin one on the back burner for ages, Managed to flog that off to part fund this one a bit. Love the sound of Jet noise!

As the Red Arrows say during their display Smoke on Go! Step up 12 to 24V wizardry installed, Luckily I had a few spare as one or two have gone up in smoke. ran off a 12V battery it steps up the Voltage to run the smoke Generator which runs using water. Need a tad more pipe though to run this up the funnel.

It was on the Beeb the other week, A nice program too.

Hattons do not seem to be the Flavour of the month, The new W1 causing much Consternation across the pond with Hornby Cancelling order. Hope Marks have Squared my one away....

Holy Thread Resurrection! Came across this in the ol Lades Loft, A loco Shell of my First Ever Engine, A Dutch 1300 series class Leccy yoke (never a fan of Panto really too Fiddly), Not sure why the old fella picked one with Pantographs which are pretty delicate to a 5 year old over a Beefed up Hornby Grumbling motor Pannier tank Dunno where the chassis went to. Probably was changing the brushes and at that point just discovered girls and beer. Been Thinking of getting another one but the price I have seen is a bit daft. Do you think it pointless to get a new on or just keep the shell and the crappy 1980s weathering Looks a bit SAD Really.

Love the wood Bufferbeam !

Its Alive!!! Managed to bring down the port hole after lowering the deck, Happy with that. Leccy were being worked on today before I had to do some garden work and another change in the Receivers where they have an in built button to bind to the transmitter, No more little bind plugs! There is telemetry also on this receiver for 24 quid, Unreal price. I have run everything through a power board from Action electronics, at first the there was no power, Lots of head scratching before I noticed to on off switch on the speed controller, Ah great, Went to hit that and the switch fell apart, I bared the wires and have power that way for now until I get another better switch. I'll be making little tray to hold the Receiver, speed controller and Fan control unit Another step forward now to getting that deck on.

What the Lads say, There has been plenty of Layouts in MR that don't in my eyes cut the mustard so to speak and they do have loads of repeats too. This Layout speaks in volumes with your pictures and is fantastic in its a simplistic layout and in the way you don't have tons and tons of stuff on it crowding out the message Signals, Points working, Magnetic Gubbins and you do your own sounds. Don't get nowhere without trying! A lad from Kerry used to pop into Marks regular, His modelling was funded by lobbing in articles of his latest builds, Barrow Roundhouse was one. Keep bashing up the photos though.

Sold out on IRM Pre Orders or are they available from other retailers? Luckily one of the ones I chose!

Did not George Dent do some Irish Stuff and they also review the Irish Models too so thats a wee be odd?

Good Afternoon Gents, Looking forward to the weekend now! Still working away on this one, Lots of tidying up with the white metal parts and my order from Cornwall Model Boats arrived with the replacement cowl vents which look fab, I think they look to be 3D printed. I was hoping to have the sound unit installed but these are not able from Action just yet so I have installed the speaker and I will work on how to install the other wiring but the next big step will be the deck and after placing all the bits n bobs on the deck I noticed something is just not right....... As per the photo I have the Main Deck Level as the bubble indicates (these are not calibrated BTW!) Also the Superstructure stuff is not glued on so don't panic! (just yet!)

I'd be banging up and few words and some good photos and sending them off to Model Rail, Get a few quid for yourself too. Smashing job on the magnet gubbins too!

Could of polished his shoes too!

they did and it was a tiny metal Washer that went over the bogie pivot pin. I got them but never actually got around to stick em in. US Market Gray option I'd say. Last pic is off the rails Dave? loosing your touch?

And TBH I though 60 notes was a heavy enough price!

its probably a selfie or checking the eye liner. Different liner to what we are interested in.

Nah Following the footsteps of Hattons and Hornby. may as well cash in I suppose. Lots of thought went into these and it creates a massive cost saving for modellers on a budget. Inter changeability will be the next thing, Swapping coach bodies on a generic chassis. Cant wait for my stuff to come. I would actually love to see this up on the Ebay to see what you get for them!

Order gone in lads. finger on the pulse as usual! https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/163570-new-accurascale-coach-range-welcome-to-our-haulmark/

I just used Copper clad PCB board cut down and the wires soldered directly to that. It seems all sorts of fancy stuff out there now. Are these the ones the Wexford lads used on the O Gauge Layout?

I started also on the leccy side with a sound box for the speaker being made and installed, I need to work on the where will the best place will be for the other leccy bits n bobs I need.

And the Boat Yard is on O/T this week. Windows in, Gun Platform more or less done I need to get better cowl vents and the ones supplied are just very poor and too thin to tidy up as per the pics and the hole that has appeared in the one I tried to do. and the leccy stuff is being worked on and where best to place what is needed where, Although it is s huge hull the batteries and smoke unit take up
