  1. He’s very amenable. I just sent him a track sample and the B2B so it’s quite possible he could knock one up!
  2. One of the many advantages of the 3d print world is the ease with which designs can be tweaked for niche applications. A 36.75mm rerailer is about to come online from Chris-Draw. Ideal for bogie and 6 wheel stock, which can be tricky to put on the track. First drawing attached, and a view of the 32mm gauge product to show what it will look like. Obviously one for @David Holman, @Northroaderand @leslie10646 but others may be interested too….
  3. Others have…the Shackleton was often described as "a hundred thousand rivets flying in close formation."
  4. The aircraft had more rivets than the loco! Classic scene.
  5. Railtec bound to have something JB
  6. Celsa Steel in Cardiff was a regular sighting for me of numerous GBRF 08s, as recently as within the last twelve months. Sadly about to be replaced by some kind of Unimog yoke.
  7. Back in the day it was known as ‘full employment’. Seriously, could be a route famil with a traction inspector, or staff member transiting to Coleraine. Normal practice as I recall was one man in the cab - no lady drivers back then. If a route famil, the students may have been checking signal sight lines or other landmarks.
  8. IIRC many of the NIR announcements in recent years were done by Christopher Boomer, son of late RPSI chairman Sullivan Boomer, himself an occasional BBC Radio Ulster stand-in…..
  9. The situation does need stabilising
  10. One of identical design still exists in Brazil, albeit in original well tank form, so it would be possible to see what they are capable of….image copyright Wilson Santos
  11. Agreed - and he’s the only SLNC brass supplier. In 7mm, Roger at Alphagraphix occupies an analogous position.
  12. Forum at its best in such matters
  13. Fascinating to see you re-enacting the real history of the CVR stock David. Although your two CVR tank locos are probably nervously hoping you don’t take this historical fidelity too far!
  14. Now DJ, you have an O gauge A class already
  15. Great start. When you start scenery though, the level crossing might look a bit odd if it only extends over two tracks ! Great clean work though.
  16. Try T R Williamson website - they do a range of railway reds with RAL codes - sorry can’t post web links for some reason.
  17. Very nice. Do I spot a Nellie too?
  18. First Irish loco I ever built. Nowadays I’d make an effort at MGW livery!
  19. the JT would be an easier undertaking as the splashers on the J26 would be tight, if the 7mm experience is anything to go by.
  20. Currently working on my 4th loco from Roger. Great little kits and well thought out with a fold up chassis. As you say Colin, the cast w/m parts aren’t a deal breaker. I often swap them out anyway for lost wax alternatives.
  21. Looks great David. I think it’s worth experimenting with a red truck (maybe try a painted card overlay as a trial ). On balance I think the two tone cab should stay, as it would have allowed seamless swaps for maintenance when 10’s regular can required attention. Although I do see what Alan means !
