    2 days in a row.....wonders never cease While 47474 takes a rest to cure, some old projects got some time on the bench. A few old Airfix Mk2 geting the orange for my own attempt at Galway livery. Have been blue/grey in a box for 10 or more years. And one with slow progress over the years, but very pertinent to late goings on, my 2700 Arrow. Some small modifications to get doors in right place. Started many years ago, when skills not as good as they might be today, so bit of correction here and there, and some modelling licence.

    Something a little different today. 2nd hand, unused Freightliner green livery body shell, to be repurposed. It had seen a bit of a hard life before...... Stripped of details where possible, light sanding, and primer. Then to blue....starting the transformation to 47 474. Then the yellow face. Once that is all dry and sealed, transfers, light weathering, and onto donor bachmann chassis.

    Be careful what you wish for DJ. More rain means more time for trains, to run them and more videos...... Then how would you feel?

    Postie arrived, was intrigued, and had to see them once told what was inside. He remembers them, and totally unaware anything like it was available. They are stunning! Well done IRM.

    Was only thinking the same today. Have heard nothing from Rails in regard to pre-order being moved over. They should be due in next few months, so hopefully they have not gone the way of the dodo, and it's just settling time after Hattons doors closing.

    Worth the trip indeed. What a beautiful coach these are.

    Well it turns out postie is not at fault. I am. When planning to move house, I made the smart decision to change from delivery to collection. However, after move never changed it back. Not so smart. Doh!. Quick trip next week will see them home.

    All making me jealous lads. Enviously waiting on my 4 packs to arrive, hopefully tomorrow. Postie is taking a while to get from Walkinstown to Wexford. Will be a week since pickup tomorrow. Need to have words, dont think he knows how serious this is.

    Happy Christmas all, to you and your loved ones. Let's hope 2024 brings lot to celebrate for all. No trains here, but might get time to do some modelling, with a week off work.

    Well lads, Here is one I have been thinking about for a while, and all the talk about IRM announcements made me think I needed it done. At least if they announce it in the future, as we wish, mine is almost done. A Bachmann LMS Royal Scot conversion to GS Class 800. Double chimney added, repaint and transfers. Still needs lining, smokebox door to be sorted, and crew, but she is getting there. Might even get lamps on the front.

    Just an FYI to all, some may be aware, others might not. Pete Waterman's new show starts on Thursday 19 October at 21:00 on More 4.

    Don't see anything yet for bank holiday weekend. Only for 7th-8th for now.
  13. Railway Lyons
    Sure was a step up. Had to take smart watch off, kept alarming for heart rate. We need SA out of the tournament, and would figure FRA might do that, over NZ. Think NZ in quarter, FRA in Semi, and see what comes of it. We do need to tighten up a few areas too though.

    I couldn't possibly say, where would be the surprise, and it might sway the IRM guys...... Let's just say, there is some steam, some diesel, some wagons, and maybe an innovative idea or two! You will just have to keeps eyes on the workbench thread.

    It has to be something I have on my projects bench. Lads have done it on last 3 or 4 announcements, so wouldn't be surprised if they do it again. Eagerly waiting to see what it is either way.

    After getting soaked through coaching U10's girls rugby this morning, I figured staying home and dry, with World Cup on, was a good opportunity to get some more work done on projects. 072 & 079 back for additional cab numbers And finally seeing light of day, one of my kits that has been in the box for years, a MIR bogie fertiliser.
  17. Railway Lyons
    Fluff is from mate's Christmas scene I believe. Arrived that way, and going back that way. On the ballast, I'm going to go more with the "finished working", and going for refill, so there won't be much inside it to be fair.
  18. Railway Lyons
    Another little bit done today. Renumber 2x 071 for mate, 071/078 to 072/079. And an overdue one for myself, 216. Celtic knot to be added, when i find it again.
  19. Railway Lyons
    6x NIR Ballast Wagons completed, minus ballast loads, but that will come when I buy some for layout in few months. Transfers have arrived, along with paint and some other building materials, so I can get some more progress done on the other projects.
  20. Railway Lyons
    Another weekend, again more rain, means one thing.......more modelling F1 and rugby on in the background. Bit of motive power this time. My Jeep ready for transfers and details pack to be put on. And another in the works, No.171 "Slieve Gullion". Still a bit to go on this one, but getting there. Rolling stock from last week will be completed when couplings and transfers arrive.
  21. Railway Lyons
    I think they make very good representations of them. Believe several were brought over from BR, just not sure if the very same wagon, or modified, once in use on NIR network.
  22. Railway Lyons
    There is something to be said for a bit of bad weather. Rain way to much to be wandering. Gave me a few hours over last 3 days to get more works done. NIR Ballast beginning transfers and weathering, then seal and reassemble. Pallet Cement transfers done and sealed. Coupling to be fitted. IR fuel wagon kits coming along nicely. More transfers and then weathering, and to be sealed. Couple of locos and coaches looking on longingly from the shelf waiting their turn.

    And aptly named Session IPA. Have had a few sessions on these. Nice IPA, especially in this warm weather by the BBQ, while planning out the garden railway

    2018 was the last post A lot has happened since then. Another house move a year ago now, to County Wexford, from Dublin. Hopefully now I can get back on more regularly(with assistant Wall-E). Today got a few hours to get a bit done. Pallet Cement (chassis from older kits), and NIR Ballast repaint from Hornby EWS SeaCow. Going for fairly used weathering on both accounts. Transfer, Weathering and minor touch ups left to complete the rakes.
