LOL, Have about 30 of the buggers!!, would of liked them at that price for sure!!! George

Underpriced thats why it went fast!!....

Massive effort, looks the Biz Kirly. inspirational..

Dam, Up to me eyes over the past couple of days. I will have pics tomorrow for ya without fail. Have the loco at home and all!!! Sorry G

Bit Steep at nearly E30 notes!!!.

noted!! super glue is expensive for that though and unforgiving!! I will keep an eye on it, Any developments I will inform ye. They do say card glue as well which is a pva based glue.

Oh!! Will Take note on this bit of info. Had not heard of it before but thanks for the Gen. On a footnote I added deluxe Liquid lead to a brake van about a year ago and no expansion has taken place. It is the Deluxe stuff that I am using and there is no reports if that Expanding.Maybe the Traditional lead shot causes that issue.

I have these 2 locos for sale. Mint condition, Never been run. Detail Parts included. Box in good condition. Surplus to Requirements. Looking for E120.00 each ono. Will Accept pay pal, Non registered Postage would be around E7 each or can send them to Marks Models Dublin for Collection. Can weather locos for an extra E10 only if required

Well got all of the Chassis down last night and they bodies are being primed right now. Used Liquid lead to weight them down and sealed off the gap in the chassis floor to get as much lead in as possible. Glued in with wood glue watered down with soap and water. O took the wheels out and adjusted the ballast and gave them a clean up before the glue set.

another bit of Heritage going to Disappear, Saw it a few years back but did not know there was a Campaign to save it. The life boat is shocking too, I think Ballycotton are looking to stuff and mount that as well.

Whats the Story on the Last Van in the Pictres John, Are these Available kit wise too? Must of missed that one popping up here! Oh TPO or 3 would be on order with me as well!!

Have a Lima Enterprise coming up shortly for sale. Will have it in my Hands Tomorrow and will put a pic up if your interested keep an eye out. G

Great info, Love the graphics, Tk me about 2 years to do that!!

Lucky you!!, Might do 2 grey and 2 Brown so!! Grey would look nice I think...

Class effort alright....We call the lads who did that langars...for sure...

Slowly losing the will to live, Maybe Solder poisoning...anyhow another 2 hours tonight doing the handrails on my own one and the Chimneys and a general tidy up, Definately plastic fix tomorrow I can smell the glue form here!! The Chimney collar is plastic Tube widened out with a mini File and brass Tube used for the Chimney available from all goodish model shops....

That looks to be a smashing project, I would go with light grey as well, No one can tell you your wrong anyhow!!

The chap they are going to is!!. But they were bugging me big time. The Burnt fingers have their won tale to tell Sean!!

All the soldering done with the handrails taking the most time, 2 hours spent tonight and the last 8 rain strips will be done tomorrow if my shed is still there!! Then a prime and the chassis to build. The roof dims I used were:Width 36mm x Length 83mm is used some KS brass at work which is very thin and easy to bend while soldering.

I would use this on the Sides. Its flexible Superglue, Does not fracture upon impact. Handy for Rough Handling or Accidental Drops!! http://www.shop4glue.com/flexy-cyano-20g-flexible-rubber-toughened-cyanoacrylate-super-glue-adhesive-black-ca-superglue-86-p.asp and Ordinary superglue for the rest of the bits.

knowing my luck it will spring off the model and end up missing, Your are doing spares of these Des???

Great Stuff here Lima33, Love your work!!

Another push to get the Brass on and just have the duckets to do now, I am thinking of leaving the those off and paint and mask them seperatly as it is a bit easier to do.

Handrails are going on at the moment, will stick a piccy up soon G

bit more of a update on the Brake Vans. Got the Lamp Irons Soldered one, Side lamps, Ash vent, Window Frames, and door ends. good bit of time on these spent, the vans look pretty bad at this stage but one I give em a little love and a wash they should come up nicely. Heres the Lamp Irons on The I tackled to Duckets, It would be great to have these cast in Resin so you can just glue em on!! Handy too for Scratch building. I et the solder flow out of the Joins so I can sand them flush and the join will be filled. Thats the plan anyhow!! Next was the Door ends and to solder these in place and the window Frames, Pretty straighforward to do this. Frames in place Door ends in place Ashpan flap soldered on, This is a 2 part piece Here with have the little Side lamps soldered on. Also on the go is an SSM MK.3 EGV. I have this a long way through the build and just spraying the Dayglo on the ends. Need to fix back on a step by the looks of it. Finally not everything goes to plan, I had these mark 3s sprayed up and Decalled, 95% complete, just needed to glue on Etch Window surrounds and the Shawplan Windows and they were done however I used y own mix of orange which was a tad too light when matched up to another EGV I had so I soaked them in oven cleaner and fairy power spray and now have re-primed them again and will used the Phoenix precision CIE Orange which is back on sale in Marks, Big and Small tins. Big tins E9.99.
