  1. Correct DJ, it is the free version.
  2. Layout update. For the first time in a long time I got the chance to work on the layout. Spent the day working on the "concrete" around the large shed and putting down the first layers of paint. Great to be working on it again. Excuse the bad lighting.
  3. Having recently weathered some for a fellow forum member and seeing how nice of a wagon they are I regret not getting some when they were available
  4. If some cie flats turn up in the clear out, I'll take a pack
  5. Placed an order yesterday afternoon, delivered this morning. Impressive lads, thank you
  6. Coming late to the party on these but will there be stock available after pre orders are dispatched or is it completely sold out as per the website?
  7. I know the lads a long time from when they set up their airsoft shop. Very passionate and easy to deal with and show genuine interest in their customers projects.
  8. Excellent
  9. Excellent news for many. When were these withdrawn from Dublin/Belfast service?
  10. As disappointing as I'm sure the news is for some, IRM's openness and honesty I'm sure we can all agree is brilliant in keeping its customers up to date on issues. From my point of view at least.
  11. Brilliant narrative jb
  12. While I would like to see a IRM take on these two, I'm going to go with some form of steam. As there does not seem to be an accessible model from a competitive price point. I'm open to correction on that but that's just from my knowledge on what is available.
  13. Brilliant scene
  14. I'll shop around some more and see if i can find better. I'm in no rush to finish it anyway right now until I decide what livery. Maybe NS or one of the other big five. Maybe a small regional line or maybe make one up for that classic "my railway, my rules" vide.
  15. The only real draw back is the detailing parts have to come from the states. I was looking at a ditch lighting kit to add, which is inexpensive the shipping and customs charge is ridiculous. I'm a fan of the SD40 myself but not the current livery so have a few ideas to change it.
  16. Update: All the brass eched non-slip walkways fitted from cannon & company. Also added was cast snow plow to the lead end and hoses from details west.
  17. 156 arrives into the yard marking the first run under the bridge. The addition of the staging area now allows all lines now to be reached. Plenty of shunting action to come. 20240829_114618.mp4
  18. Current project underway cause I didn't have enough. Having pickup up my first non irish American locomotive I've set about adding details with a view to livery change and weathering. Beginning with replacing and updating the motherboard and adding sound the next step is adding fuel tank details along with brass non slip walkways.
  19. I can appreciate that, I was exactly the same.
  20. I can't speak to if your board needs replacing completely or if the lost of a single pin would even effect your loco or the functions. The board upgrade @DJ Dangerousspoke about was my first experience of locomotive electronics. That being said if I can help, I'm more then happy too.
  21. There is just something about American tractive power. After recently picking up my first American locomotive, an Athearn SD40. I decided to update and increase the detailing of the locomotive. Starting with adding sound. Firstly removing the old eight pin motherboard and replacing it with a new 21pin motherboard with speaker and sound decoder from DCC concepts. 20240814_183234.mp4
  22. Simply brilliant
  23. Correct, it is set like that for clearance reasons but also to allow better viewing from the viewing side of the layout when at exhibitions. It is a design compromise I'm happy with .
  24. Layout update. Really happy with how the new canopy looks compared the the original one. That and the new doors suitably painted and weathered I think it really adds to the overall look of the shed itself. Your thoughts as always are appreciated. Chris
  25. That is fantastic. Alot of info for repaints too. Thank you
