Hi lads, working on this now over the past few months, got most of the wood work done need to re done the far end curve as the wood somehow warped which is a pain. Plan is for 3 rai southern 1950/1960's so I can run Steam, Electric and Diesel together. I have one point motor installed, a cobalt digital job, Pretty simple enough. Just need to pony up for another 13 Dying to get onto the Scenery aspect of it now but need to sort the Track out first, the Yard is a bit too compressed but I will have to live with it. Where the O Gauge track / APT is will be a 6 road fiddle yard. the double portal bridge was bought around 10 years ago, Came in the post broken so I will need to re scribe the brickwork to blend it in with the other stone work. Wish I got the 40ft Portacabin now Amazing how much therapy watching the trains go by is...

Hi Lads, Mentioned some time back I was looking at O gauge, Managed to give some track and a building a good home and came across this on Ellis Clark Trains for £165.00. when the box was popped open underneath the loco was DCC Sound instructions. Yeah!! Put some track Together to give it a test run and by gum does she look good. Going to look at some Connoisseur coaches no to go with it. They are generic but look the part. It is a lovely scale to handle, Feels the part, looks the part, Puts the OO stuff dare I say into 'Toy' Category. She is on about a Patio now so how to incorporate a Branch line outside now is the truck into one is the trick!

Finally he 2 RAF one were finished late November last.

"establish viable human colonies", We done such a good job here in the last 100 years I pity any Planet we visit and will call home. Remarkable tech to do this though.

Also started some months ago (1 wagon about 6 years ago) are these there pallet cement wagons. With help from the upper echelon of Railway knowledge here I hope I have the Chain arrangement correct. I did not get enough chain to do each wagon so a trip to H Samuels is due to obtain suitable additional chain. (without the missus of course)

Been beavering away on these yokes for about 2 months now, Thought they would take a week or two. The Shed is pretty cold these nights so difficult to leave the fire to glue some stuff together. It has heaters but it add on about 50 notes a month which is nuts. These are the MIR Curtain Sided Cement Wagons. Gave them a test run and they look pretty sweet behind the 141. just waiting for the Varnish now to cure and harden which should be 2020 with this cold and then a tad bit of weathering

Nice work as usual. you hadme worried for a bit when I seen 'Scot' I thought Royal Scot and wondered why it is apple green and has a extra set of wheels!! Touch of Demensia!

Hey kid, Long time no hear, Looking good there ol stock. Have a bundle of these to make as well

Doubt these will come in Malachite then Looks fab, I will look forward to next lot hopefully something for me there Gonna check RMWEB now to see the fallout. Did BRM to drop the ball on this one then of was it part of the Promo

Did you not see the CAD images?

Is that Dublin speak for being Raped Financially?

I have a DCC lord Nelson Split chassis, Works like a dream. No issue with them. Easy enough to DCC to.

Tks Eoin, I dont need any more plastic kits, Have 100's of em. need to thin some stuff out a bit or get a Mansion!

Well last Friday a big box arrived from Ellis Clark Trains. Inside my pet Terrier 2644 in Southern livery I was looking for this one for ages. All excited to unwrap it there and then but left it to Saturday as I was knackered. Come Saturday a little bit of Track was laid along , about 10ft long with a point for a siding and connected up to the DCC System. Well I never!!. The chip was a sound one so for the nice sum of £165 I cobbled a normally £350-410 model and what a beauty, Running qualities are only Exquisite, the sound is Fab, Just could sit back and listen to it pop and hiss all day long. The track looks the dogs too not like the OO stuff. Now to get a few Wagons for a bit of shunting. A beautiful scale to enjoy and handle!. I'm smitten.....Bargain of the year! Cheers G

Ta m8, could do with a reccie as I could do with pawning off some stuff myself. Loads of Plastic that I need to lighten the loft along with other bits n bobs. pity its south side, could get in some Plane spotting afters if it were nearby by.

Is the Stillorgan one worth going to, the last one I went to (some years ago) had quite a bit of overpriced stuff no one wants. tis a Long trip from Town.

Look up 14XX then as that is the class of Loco. Swap over the bodies. https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_odkw=titfield+thunderbolt&_sop=12&_osacat=1&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.XHornby+14xx.TRS0&_nkw=Hornby+14xx&_sacat=1

Why don't you just get a a replacement Motor for the Titfield 14XX. works out a bit cheaper http://www.ebay.ie/itm/X8057-Hornby-Spare-Motor-for-Class-14xx-0-4-2/141647233666?hash=item20fad54282:g:xS8AAOSwDk5T90n~

That WWII Saving Private Ryan dio is unreal and the chap that built it knows everything about the equipment on show and makes for a very interesting chat if you are interested in Armour.

I concur , the new Graham Farish stuff is unreal, I have a class 37 and wow does that crawl, Dapol class 73, Hymek, Q1, Terrier and Ivatt Tank, All Beauty's.

LOL, just started my one!. Just bought me a Southern Railway O Gauge Terrier with Zimo Unlimited Software MX644 decoder for £165 a few minutes ago. Sweet! now for a few kits to make. Now if Hattons make a Battle of Britain Loco for £750 I'm sorted!!

Heres a couple more, Great scale to model, Miss this little Layout, It was turned into a Window exhibition cover with snow and now is in good hands and being renovated I believe. Heres a few more:

Been there done that M8 Still have my N gauge Stuff as the quality was Excellent. It was the sound that drew me into OO plus he availability of a lot my different locos.

Yes the OO0 stuff is awesome, Waiting for Heljan to re boot the L&B locos now.

It is certainly a nice loco, I was very tempted to get one when they arrived into Marks Models but it operated way too north for me unfortunately.
