Thanks everyone for the encouragement and the kind comments. I have a love/hate relationship with kit building. I love it today Yes Leslie, I'm very pleased with the rolling stock. Maybe see you at Bangor in April? The layout is a small fictitious dock scene vaguely inspired by Dundrum. Called Loughan Quay (say it out loud) Alan

Ah now that's a question. I've long wanted to have a go at BCDR diesel D1/No. 2 in 00 (Might that be your project too?) but I haven't been able to find a 6 wheel chassis without rods that might do. Yet. . I'm sure there's something out there.

Well, it took a while but I got there eventually

Thank you. I have to admit this one is pushing my skills to the limit. Yes, the instructions recommend driving the front axle and I've used hornblocks and a compensating beam on the other two. All a bit of a squeeze! Alan

Ah brilliant. This takes some of the guesswork out of it. Many thanks Alan

Yes please. I've only been able to find b&w ones Alan

Many thanks for this. I'm building the Judith edge kit at the moment and approaching the painting stage. Alan

What livery did the Harland & Wolff shunter carry, either as LMS 7057 or NCC 22?
-
Thank you very much. You are undoubtedly right about the livery. I have to confess I bottled out of that particular challenge!
-
That's a wonderful piece of work. And a really innovative way of tackling the job(s). Must have needed a fair bit of fettling to get it to fit!

And here is a 4mm approximation of No. 16 using a Hornby 0-4-0 Caledonian Pug as a starting point. Alan

No I hadn't - I'm clearly not trying hard enough! Many thanks for this.

That's very useful. Many thanks. And a good reason to get out and about rather than just staring at photos!

On page 36 of "Rails Around Belfast" (Crockart & Patience, Midland Publishing), there's a photograph (from the Charles Friel Collection) of a 0-4-0ST locomotive, built at York Road Works in 1914 and used around the Belfast Harbour lines until 1951. Can anyone point me towards further information or photos regarding this loco?
