  1. Hauled by a VS of course, as Rugby specials were back in the day
  2. What a horrible experience for you both! Hope you can get everything straightened out and find some energy for making things soon. Sorry not to see you at Tonbridge today - here’s to the next time….
  3. The GSR book has fewer drawings, which were published through New Irish Lines. Alan ORourke may be able to advise via their website
  4. This is the one I use. Works well on brass and NS
  5. Search on eBay ‘stained glass supplies’ is the cove I buy off. Just add a drop of liquid soap to help it flow
  6. Good job on the soldering. I got fed up with phos acid flux fizzing and spitting everywhere so I now use safety flux that’s meant for stained glass. Works a treat and just washes off nicely with no residue.
  7. Heljan did an RTR AC Cars railbus in O
  8. Agreed. As a ‘might have been’ it’s quite convincing and plausible
  9. I think he operates mainly on Facebook. This is one of his posts with a TPO
  10. Hope this means you are back amongst us Ernie. Great views. Especially the last one, which is a rare angle on the iron goods shed that doesn’t often appear in photos - certainly not as a main feature unobscured by trains!
  11. So sorry to hear this Noel. Prayers and best wishes as you get through this.
  12. Tinplate is great for loco building as long as you can keep the rust off it!
  13. Scope here for a 4 Yorkshiremen sketch….‘Young modellers today, I remember when we had to mine our own brass’. ‘Brass?! - you were lucky. I once had to built a Claud Hamilton in full GER livery with working motion out of gravel I found in’t road’…..
  14. Fabulous - looks like a blast wall between house and garage ! That’s a very fine model.
  15. Yes. Royal Irish Fusilier. Unarmed and alone. Clearly before the IRAs 1956 campaign kicked off !
  16. also a lovely - and rare - segment of a QL class at work
  17. Yes, it almost looks HO beside an OO model! That would be a major rebuild- all you could really salvage from the body would be the sides as you’d need new - or substantially new - roof and ends
  18. Excellent - it’s a particularly fiendish chassis !
  19. Fab Paul. Any chance they might be scalable to 7mm, also door class nos etc?
  20. Off topic but love the clever headboard on that KAM pic! That pic at YR is just what I remember - stuff like that lay mouldering on the sidings for years there.
  21. Logged in to IRRS and had a look. Fabulous pics of Abbeyleix station yard being lifted in 1964 https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishrailwayarchive/53449700965/in/photolist-2pr9doB-2praFWn-2pwo1Lv-2pwC8UG-2pwxcAc-2pwE193-2qEpsuv-2qEwci2-2qUMN3f-2pwCCTC-2pwDq2V-2pwE18X-2qEwc2q
  22. That’s really rather lovely. And your helpful illustrations of how you do things give hope to lesser mortals !
