Absolutely Fab Dunluce. Shows what can be done in such a smallish area. Love the details. Hopefully we will see this in Dublin in Oct?

I managed to get a few hours from work to nip up to the Junction the other week. Thanks to a road closure I missed it coming through Tipp town here are pic or two of just north of the Junction. Near Elfin I took these couple that you may find of some viewing pleasure.

Some more bits on the go over the past while. 6 SSM flats, all soldered,the bell container sets them off Dapol 15 ton Crane and made up jib carrier. nice little model this one despite gluing the jib Back to Front I managed to recover it!! Despite modelling for years always read the instructions!! other bits not really related, a fit of my Dads Paddler, Waiting on rigging and turnbuckeles for the mast to finish and an Airfix beam engine which I hope to motorise it.

How much?

ah Dave you have one already!! tis this one http://www.ehattons.com/52587/Bachmann_Branchline_32_529B_Class_55_Deltic_D9011_in_BR_Two_Tone_Green_weathered_/StockDetail.aspx

Great Effort Eamonn. The oily look really sets it off Have a look at the Humbrol tutorials on the weathering powders, they have 4 videos, you might pick up some tips for the next lot! the an post Van looks great..

Wowsers, Love the Behind the scenes look! How does the Jig Work, is it heated to form the contours?

Yep, Everyone was not talking about it during the Wexford model show is Easter!! Looks Fab, Might be tempted now to go to Tipp to see it today!! Need to plead now to get off a few hours early!

Just passed the office window, 229 light engine and 074 with the weedspray heading to Cobh. Great to hear the 071 horn today!! Should be on the way back to Cork I imagine in 20mins or so. Fab day for piccies too but no camera with me today.

Channel Packet Delayed and the Adams Tanks. Bummer.

Cappagh is up for sale as well. http://www.morrisseyproperties.ie/property/web/Display/morrisseyproperty/3382532/Old_Station_House_Cappagh_Dungarvan_Waterford.html

Well just back from visiting the show last week. We were in Hamburg for a few days and got the ICE down leaving at0605 with a change in Hannover, Arrived at the show in Dortmund at 0930hrs. Saw some lovely Locos and stock during the spin down. When we arrived my god what a shock to the System. The place was huge and the quality of Modelling was fantastic, I only saw 1 UK layout,A GWR one but there was Primarily German, Polish, East German, French and US from Z up to G and Guage one Scale in layouts. Unbelievable amount of Traders peddling the latest DCC automation to Man Hole covers. Laser cut Card and wood seemed to be the new kid in town with some superb examples for sale. According to the buddies Phone app we walked 9.6kms around the show area, Beside the Trains there was also indoor and outdoor RC flying, RC boat Pond, RC Cars, Tanks and Plant plus plastic and card modeling. Despite the large number of bargains I succumbed and only purchased a Superb Laser Cut Card model in 1.72 scale of Roter San Lighthouse which is in Northern Germany. A 1.72 Merc 770 with Hitler and his buddies and a Mig-29.If I had room in the bag a RC Sea Fury would of been added to the fleet! Knackered we were back in Hamburg at 2230hrs later that night sipping pints. I can highly recommend this if you planning a visit to Dortmund area. 2 days would be handy and I would expect Week days are the best days to go. We will be back next year!

I'm 201'd out at this stage...

I picked up a nice class 73 for my class 80 Build. €30's only, Great nick, When I opened it there was a decoder inside. Result. Pick up some dapol Tankers for Conversion also and a few tools.

I did not take any as I have hit the 10 year mark with Pc Kaput, Laptop Kaput, Camera Kaput.....have not got the will to replace them But at the risk if being cheeky there are some pics here: http://irishscalemodeller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3092&sid=3742fe85802d7fde5af42743d80242b0 We will need to review next years one as the costs are too great and the show this year did not cover the outgoing expenses despite a large number of visitors again. With an relative Explosion of shows now in Cork with one in Clonakilty June, Fort Camden in August and a Diecast one in the Airport hotel and other around the county have kind of diluted traders and exhibitors. We will have to sit down and see what direction to take.

yep, thanks for supporting it lads. I was an enjoyable day. If only I brought the Apt in, What a sight that would of been on your track demo layout!! Ah well.

2000 units Noel.

Thats a lovely well proportions loco and the model has come on Very nicely. Would not look out of place on the SECR with a nice shiny dome.

Inerior is cool Alrite, already lads on RMWEB looking to Spruce it up!. The Only gripe I would have is the gap between the nose moulding and the main body, its way to pronounced but I am sure the boffins that created this tried to do all they could to eliminate it. I wondered about filler but don't have the guts!

LOL, There not glued on thank God!!! That would be a Tad Difficult to fix! the Tensions are way to Cruel visually.

when do the tickets go on sale? and of course some test runs to carryout as well so loads of photos. Loads of action for the lad up the top of the country then.
