Try Kirtley Model Buildings ? https://www.kirtleymodels.co.uk/
-
Thanks ! This one....Dromahair, Sligo Leitrim railway.
-
Station building work today. Crude stone quoins applied from DAS clay on PVA
-
Wish I lived closer!
-
Door chains and a bit of weathering. Not entirely happy but that’s all part of the learning experience...think it may look ok from a distance. A mile might suffice...
-
Nice work. Looks suitably distressed!
-
Hope so. I was lucky enough to see it about 40 years ago when the signal cabins were in place and even a gents urinal IIRC. Most people who own such buildings these days seem to have a better vision than those who took them over in the 60s and added ugly concrete blocks across facades etc. Glenfarne and Belcoo on the SLNC have certainly fared well in recent years.

Having visited this place many years ago, whoever buys it will have no time for modelling as they’ll be too busy cutting all the grass!
-
Almost finished but the last few bits I need are back in GB. In the lower picture, it’s 0700 on an Irish summer morning in 1957 and van no 32 waits on a siding for collection on the 0630 ex Sligo goods....it’s quite nice I’ve got to this stage before we leave Ireland and head home, as I can show my mother the wagon later- she travelled on the SLNCR as a child...:)
-
Beautiful, Leslie.
-
Just as I remember it from my days at TCD - fab!
-
Looking really good. Love the backscene.
-
They are from Slaters - ref 7120 from memory. They are 32mm gauge originally but I have squeezed them out to 36.75- they simply slide along the axle.
-
Dummy run with loose roof in the sunshine
-
Yes - I do get that...Almost done - on wheels now...
-
Thanks ! Looks good - was one of my local closed lines when we lived in North Antrim.
-
Very nice Patrick. What track gauge are you using?
-
Yes, I would have thought coach bolts look similar! I have both tools. Recently acquired the press on the funds of an article I wrote. About £100 stg all in...,
-
Ah now we get into the detail, so! Because as I’ve learned, bolt heads and rivets are different beasts, requiring different techniques. For actual rivets one can emboss in plasticard or brass using a rivet tool - like either of these...
-
Think they do have some relief detail despite the ‘decal’ aspect. Get great reviews...
-
Or like this?
-
Yes, or you can also use Archer’s rivet decals as many do ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Archer-Fine-Transfers-AR88001-Rivets/dp/B01F7FY45Y
-
Thanks ! Not a job to rush - each one needs put on with a knife point. If you use too much glue the ‘bolt’ dissolves, if too little it falls off... Having said that, at lunchtime yesterday I hadn’t even started this project so it’s perhaps progressing faster than I think...

Sligo Leitrim 7 ton van under way ...trying a new technique of applying individual bolt heads cut from 10x20 thou strip
