Sorry to hear that Leslie. You will be missed. By the way, have you abandoned your website or has it just moved somewhere else? Apologies if I've missed something along the way. Alan

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?
