Coming together really well David: and the techniques you’re demonstrating are widely applicable

Those splashers were hard enough in 7mm never mind 4! Great work

Great stuff - well done! Something very satisfying about a brass model

Fabulous, but you can see why artists are getting a bit worried about AI !

Agreed John. I used that weathered black on an F6 (now sold) I built a few years ago.

That’s a great close up. For brass workers like me, it’s also a reassuring proof that platework on the real thing could also be shonky. Check out that front splasher on 655, and as for the gap in the boiler cladding….

What’s you modus operandi for construction, Darius? Given your background, I’m imagining you guesstimate unknown dimensions based on proportion to known or likely sizes, and then make up a drawing ?

Sea was warmer than BRA pool IIRC!

Esp in its original form as an outdoor pool

Nice work. Is that designed to fit a proprietary chassis ? I figured you’d have to make one.

Totally captures the place. Having visited there pretty much weekly growing up, you’ve nailed its distinctive look. Just need 171 or 4 crawling past the Station Bar with Portrush Flyer ECS……

That’s great Alan. Interestingly I had to do similar surgery to clear the heat wheel on the 7mm version….Dremel used in my case !

Interesting they went for outside vs inside cylinders on such similar locos

Fab work. Having built the 7mm version I agree it’s a nice kit. And you’ll make a great job of it! Will look well running a diverted train through Kilmore

One fab little rarity in that vid. Can just see remains of Henderson’s Siding trailing in at Bleach Green. Mike Henderson, son of the last owner, is a keen modeller. The narrator R G Morton was a noted author on N I railway matters, and I think a teacher at Belfast Inst
