Yes Must kick into that one asap. Any Black 5's around gratefully accepted as I need one for a Chassis.

Beauty is the Eye of the Beholder. This model was at the engineering exhibition in Ally Pally a few years back. Stunning GT3 5 1/2 inch gauge model.

Cannie Wait! I start my Kit I have and that will ensure it pops out of a mold somewhere!

IRM have drained and will continue to lighten the pockets of Railway Modellers for the foreseeable future it seems.Myself included!!. A Good thing no doubt but not a good time to flog stuff. Now do I Really need a 14 car APT.

Wow, should turn out nice in O gauge, I keep checking in on this one. Bexley eh, We used to live on Eversley Avenue in the 70's. The house used to overlook the Railway line. We could of been neighbours!!

While you doing a Sambo, could you do a Pat as well?

Thanks GD, I went with Red Oxide (just looked at the side of the paint tin!!) Phew but did paint 2 black and they do look smart to boot especially with the Blue Keg surrounds (were they ever blue!!), ah well the Airbrush will be back out tomorrow night. I'll have to knock the BR out of me with that Bauxite talk. off to kip now. G

Hi lads, I notice the Orange Bubbles have a grey Chassis, the MIR sheets at the time indicated a Black chassis on the painting instructions which is what I went with. I am doing a few 20ft Flat Wagons and I notice Wagon painting Instructions for the Keg Wagons also have a Black chassis. What time frame did the Black Chassis Exist in before it turned to Bauxite or did the Black Chassis ever exist on the 22ft Flat Wagons at all? Was it a freight flow colour or such? I cant seem to put a finger on a picture for me sins. Tia George.

Welcome to the Hobby. Marks Cork have good Selection of Hornby Track but if you're looking after for something in particular give Wayne a call to make sure they have it.

I'll Repaint it into BR Late Crest if no takers LOL!.

Hi Lads, Hard to get out to the shed with this flipping cold snap but did a wee bit more on the few buses. I have ordered some more transfers from Sunrise in the UK to finish the KC2 off. Hopefully they will come sooner that later. The Dart feeder would be a nice little Additional to Eoins Darts. Maybe a train pack and and bus at some stage!! The Van Holl is nearly complete with just the window frame to do and the bottom floor to Cement in place.

The final one to Cull is another The Bachmann K1 (OR N class) Steam Loco number 383, Very nicely finished in Gloss Black Again this one has never been run, Mint condition, all Detail parts are in the box. As per the piccys the baccy boxes have the usual slight wear n tear on the egdes. Looking for €140.00 post for this engine, Post Around €10.00 registered in Ireland. cheers George

Hi Folks, Looking to fund a dip into O gauge so looking at flogging some items regrettably (just remembered Stirling Single and Bullied Diesel inbound to O gauge will have to go on hold!) First up is a I imagine a hard to find item these days. Bachmann 32-225Z Class Y Tanks Loco operated by the 'Northern Counties Committee' No.18 Looking for €90.00 plus postage (around €10.00) for this lovely little engine. I have not run it since it was bought and it was only out of the box for the shot. As can be seen the Box has some very slight wear around the edges and the loco is in Mint condition. Can test run it before posting if required. cheers George

I am sure I have one Mr NM, It as Not been Ran nor out of the box from Memory, I will take a trip to the Storage area tomorrow to confirm. I have a Dapol O gauge Terrier to fund!!

Damn I thought it was an off shoot to cover some Esotoric UK prototypes like a RTR GT3 and a Fell diesel. ah well. good luck with that lads.

What that then?, I noticed it on your signature last week but Nada on the website.

Price in Euros? Do the Pullmans have lights in them?

Nice one lads, got mine yesterday, Luckily though, It was left outside the door all day by the DPD Driver. I will be getting in touch with that crowd this am to voice my displeasure. On the Funny Side my Girls got a good laugh of how my name was spelt on the label!! cheers George

Maybe get Marks to send more than one pack to the Cork shop,I believe they were snapped up pretty fast down here!

nice stuff there, Love the brick work. This might be a dumb question but for the slopes at each the ends of the Roof is there a Formula on how the exact sized Triangle is cut to shape or is it trial and error?

Thats the Portacabin Rich. My Second home, shut the door, wee bit of heating on, Click spotify and I could be there till 1am!! Got a 12x2 Portable layout on the go to finish some time before I peg it!! Need to do the fiddle yard at some stage. Nice day to do it today but the nices 1 year old party was on. ah well.

Spot on the Floors pop off of the Containers, Found that out when I dropped one!! they run Grand now on the new wheels. Never a Fan of the ones in the kits.

The Mojo is still fine and I am ploughing through some 20ft Flats I have had for 6 years I'd say in the Stash. There was a Mix of 4 Resins and 2 sturdy white Metal Jobbies. 2 Came with plastic containers and the Remainder had Beer kegs on them. These are from MIR and the Resin ones are a bit poor as the frames are like Bananas but can be straightened out. I have one more to complete with just the brake rodding, gear and pipes to stick on. A test run of them signal a big problem with the Wheel Set provided. They just would not stay on the track m Maybe a combination of such a light wagon and Scale wheels, the Code 75 did not like them of visa versa. I ended up putting some Hornby Wagon wheel Sets in and hey presto they not negotiate the point work. I did get a great kick of seeing these rumble along the 10ft bit of track I have live after the graft to finish em. The plain containers needed to be built and painted and these will be CIE Orange. bit more to do on the KC's the Bus Eireann Orange is on and will be masked shortly and then the green will go on. Also finished the Decals on the Van Hool and sealed with a coat of Gloss. A Satin coat will now be put on that model. Al clad Satin as the Humbrol stuff is gone to pot.

All the Talk about 20 odd+ wagons, I was lucky enough to See this little consist back in '07 at the Junction. Loads of power for the 4 wagons!! 1.3 packs and your sorted
