    Great that’s being commemorated. What really annoys me is the metal sculpture. They have gone to the time and trouble of getting a proper 5’3 track panel laid- a proper GN silhouette would have been an easy win instead of taking what looks like a child’s toy as a model - detracts from the honour being paid to the dead

    Would have been a fairly efficient way of doing business, saving Sligo crew a lodging turn to Dublin.

    Fabulous - the little tank looks so at home in its shed !
  4. Galteemore
    Wow that’s fabulous. I find guitar band clamps are great for holding boilers together whilst soldering. Know what you mean re cutting out / lots of careful measurements! Something mesmerising about watching those huge drivers !
  5. Galteemore
    Excellent. Will be a really interesting mix of buildings!
  6. Galteemore
    Also look live frog. Great turnouts
  7. Galteemore
    Fab work: always worth a dry run before getting soldering iron fired up !

    At least we should see a blue 4-4-0 in Dublin before the end of the year ….

    It might also explain an historical oddity. Would have made far more sense for the SLNC’s infamous putative loco to be a Beyer-Garrett rather than Garratt - much more in their line I’d have thought

    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
  12. Galteemore
    Great stuff - well done! Something very satisfying about a brass model
  13. Galteemore
    Fabulous, but you can see why artists are getting a bit worried about AI !
  14. Galteemore
    Agreed John. I used that weathered black on an F6 (now sold) I built a few years ago.
  15. Galteemore
    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!
  18. Galteemore
    Esp in its original form as an outdoor pool
  19. Galteemore
    Nice work. Is that designed to fit a proprietary chassis ? I figured you’d have to make one.
  20. Galteemore
    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 !
  22. Galteemore
    Interesting they went for outside vs inside cylinders on such similar locos
  23. Galteemore
    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

    Was interested to see that the NCC plate went for more than the GN one. Totally agree - bargain prices for plates
