Can not wait. It look really well up close.

With the sudden amount of free time i have, i decided to spend it weathering the number of Dapol pocket wagons. Although having tried my hand at light weathering on my rake of resprayed mk3s i painted I wanted to go for a more varied and worn look. The results are as seen in the pictures. Thoughts, comments and suggests as always welcome.
-
Done! Very best of luck to you
-
Respray project No.2 of mk3 couches is in full swing and even tried my hand at weathering both the couches and the class 201 which will be hauling them.

Mk 3 Coaches for Repainting - Lima vs. Hornby
Dempsey replied to DJ Dangerous's topic in Irish Models
The first three in the make shift spray booth i.e. cardboard box. Decals applied and first stage of weathering done. I know it's not for everyone but i personally think it adds to the detail. I'm going for a these couches are not far off needing to visit the wash look. Had some mix left over so thought i'd try a loco so since 210 is going to be hauling this rake i figured i'd give it ago. Thoughts and comments as always appreciated.

Have the weekend to myself so I'll be finishing the rest of my resprays, applying decals and some weathering to the frame. I'll post some pictures later of the completed work -
thank you, you've been a great help
-
Brilliant video thank you. Gave me a nice look into line side details and positioning and running mixed freight trains. I'll definitely be watching more thank you for the photos. I trying to find better pictures of this type of crane that was in used when my layout is planned to be set
-
I've been trying in vain to find any photos for point of reference of the freight yard at Dundalk on the Ardee Rd and not the old barrack street one. If anyone has any pictures of the yard in operation and at the very least with the crane that use to be there could send them on i'd very much appreciate it. Thank you in advance

Dundalk (?) Goods Yard Drawings

Just came across this post but thanks for the education. Never knew that existed in the town or how much has been lost. The railway is truly a shadow of its former self. -

I used white primer for the lines, satin black and the orange is RAL2011. The decals are from railtec -
Mk 3 Coaches for Repainting - Lima vs. Hornby

I'm in the process of repainting Jouff mk3 coaches right now. Waiting finish painting them all before applying decals but like mentioned above the hornby rake i which were my first attempt at painting are noticeably shorter

Is it possible that damage could have been cause in transit? He did get back to me but I find it hard to believe that there wasn't any sound when he "tested" before posting
-
Well I've done the first but I hold no hope. I must admit I never would have thought of contacting Murphy's models. If marks models do repairs then I think it'll be the best port of call regardless
-
I got it on eBay. It's second hand, the seller needs to revisit how to write descriptions because it clearly dos not running well. Also had a cosmetic issue or two. If this is the issue how do you go about getting a replacement gear?
-
I'm no expert but to me my newly acquired enterprise liveried 201 dos not sound like everything is all right. Could anyone give me any insight into what the issue might be and how it can be sorted by someone with next to no knowledge of the internal working of a model train. As always I appreciated. 20190801_093236.mp4

Cheers mate. There's a few areas on the lead couch to be addressed but overall I'm happy out. Only five more to go haha
-
Extremely please with how this turned out. With a bit more care and patience I think has paid off in a much better result and with a lot less bleed through of the paint
-
I think for now the Hornby ones will do as practise in respray. The restaurant couch is nearly ready for reassembling
-
They just arrived in the post. Fingers crossed as I've never done it before I've three jouef mk3s that are longer then the Hornby ones. Would they be closer to scale lengthy I wonder
-
First attempt at a respray using mk3 hst coach. Just waiting on transfers to arrive. I did encounter slight overspray in parts but I'll know in future and will take more care.
-
This might be of interest. Hattons have listed the class 121 on their website and appear to be taking pre orders . I dont know if its been mentioned already .
-
I'm along way off my vision and i'm sure there will plenty of fun and of course mistakes along the way. Thank you though, I've got plenty to think about.
