But not if you’ve been handling white metal

Welcome back David - or should that be ‘sir’? Looks a good tip with the brick sheet

Wonderful. The original, I think, resulted from an unemployment relief project to double Whitehead-Carrick, a project that was reversed about 70 years later!

I’m opening just such a box of doom myself Paul, with the intent to progress it over Christmas. Fair point about the detail- one gets away with a fair amount of leeway in 7mm! Sorry to hear that you have OCD - having had some encounters with sufferers, it’s a very debilitating and often misunderstood condition and I hope that modelling gives you some respite from it.

Could probably do your own resin castings quite easily. I’ve done it for railbus wheels

Fab, shows some of F6 variations too. I don’t especially like the cut down tanks on 36!

Yes, I’m interested in this as I’m about to make a 1700 gallon tender in original form. These shots are most useful thanks!

Most interesting. Remains of a 1700 gallon tender being put to good use!

Sounds like a typical day in the Glen of Imaal

Looks really good. Iain Rice recommends a coating of talc on such things to blend all the colours together

Looks great Paul. I agree that the lower bit would look better left plain. I think the Irish signage is great for shows and will show it’s not your usual SLT or BR depot! On the RH panel a photo or two and simple route map would look well

That’s most interesting FS, many thanks. As you can probably guess, we didn’t really touch on Irish at my school….

Yes that sign will be a nice touch. Option 3 would look good in white writing on black - and translated into Irish. Something like ‘muileann na ceathrún baile’. That’s the GSR look …went for that on my first Irish layout !

Richard Ellis Hobbs produced a 3d JT class already I think ? Pic below. Could be an interesting proposition either way for 21mm gauge. I had to grind away large parts inside the tanks of the of mine in 7mm to fit 5’3” in.
