Nice. The RAF variant Harrier tends to be much better known given its high profile on CAS work in the early Op HERRICK rotations before the GR4s came in. That’s a lovely model and nicely shows off the distinctive FAA features.

Lovely classic mix Ernie - thanks ! The wagon at extreme right in the Bundoran express pic is most interesting. It contains a load from the Whiteabbey Bleaching Company - Henderson’s. This firm had a private siding, and one of the owning family is an excellent modeller of N scale Irish stuff.

Like Russian dolls - lovely !

Pics would help, Tony

Thanks Ken - don’t worry - wasn’t suggesting War and Peace! Something more like the old railway works drawing books which just contain key dimensions and detail differences. Will PM ….

Cheers Ernie. That must be one of the early Mogul trips down south. They had her very nicely turned out!

So good to ‘see’ you back here Ernie. Full cut off and light regulator for a while!

Clearly Angus is getting on better with the press than I did at first. On many nights I was ready to chuck it down those stairs!!

Nice, fine work Angus. Will really show on the finished model. The trusty GW press…. just taken mine out of its box this week for an upcoming task. What a great little gadget it is.

Ken / bit of a cheeky question but would it possible to purchase a ‘DSE Drawing Book’ ? I’m not sure I want to pitch your fine wagons side by side with my efforts but I’d love to have a go at scratch building a few with your most helpful drawings - esp if there was a bespoke 7mm version. Cheeky question but just felt I had to ask

This is very impressive Adrian. And you’re quite right ~is amazing what skills you can develop on the way. Although to be fair it looks as if you had quite a few skills already honed!

An enticing development - looks great now but will look even better when your backscene goes in! The globe lamp looks good - what’s its provenance?

Really nice bit of work - you should be pleased with that

Yes I’ve had problems with a Hornby one like that. I don’t think they are designed for a long life or serious modelling use. Gaugemaster are great - with a lifetime guarantee. This is a great starter one. https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/gaugemaster-gmc-combi.html

Elementary, my dear Watson…..Sherlock Holmes is clearly sleuthing me down!

Exactly like that !

As a minimum space modeller, that’s a useful little wagon! Dead right re louvres - a definite case for 3d printing right there !

Ye can’t escape JB right now. He’s even on UTV. Galteemore Snr was very impressed by that Enterprise programme

This may help, Tony - some good wiring diagrams. Do you want some of the motors to throw simultaneously? https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwir18ykhcP0AhWZQfEDHWzWBNAQjhx6BAgBEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rmweb.co.uk%2Fcommunity%2Findex.php%3F%2Ftopic%2F115511-wiring-multiple-point-motors%2F&psig=AOvVaw3EC3RxG3OQJ2-AfHfgnmkt&ust=1638463175358378

Let’s hope so - Sligo Goods and Foynes back on the map ?

Thanks Brack - I had missed him and wondered if all was ok. Give him our best wishes please!

Brrrrr…..hope that railcar has the heating on! Lovely atmospheric shots Patrick.

That’s good - as you can guess from the small ads that are hopefully in this NIL I have plans afoot! Looking forward to seeing more photos as this develops / exciting to see another 7mm Irish layout coming out !!

Looking good David. Nice convincing roughness to the finish, without being crude and unfinished. Very reminiscent of a farmhouse in North Leitrim I knew so well!! Is there a significant problem with PCB supply etc right now ? Asking for a friend……

as opposed to Burma tanks ….
