Thanks JHB - now off to hunt for a suitably sized letter M on my GWR transfers sheet....
-
Thanks everyone - and the dates are reassuring as the line will be running on a mid-50s scenario!
-
Great plan Edo. But don’t rule out brass. One of the few Irish words used on me at home was ciotógach due to my manual ineptitude. And yet I’ve managed a few brass kits / not perfectly but ok....give it a go!!! This was my first one - I broke bits, melted bits etc - but it is very forgiving!
-
Inspiring work! Nice to see some bow pen action too..
-
Decals on and some weathering under way.....

CBSCR Preservation / Restoration at Ballineen & Enniskeane
Galteemore replied to DiveController's topic in General Chat
Nice little tribute to the line - and a fair representation of a CBSCR tank -
Indeed - and the SLNC had at least one round post signal, achieved by mounting a semaphore arm on a telegraph pole!
-
Growing up in NI on the NCC I only ever remember square posts - think GNRI was the same. I suspect most Irish lines had square or rectangular posts until tubular steel ones came in.
-
Thanks Mike - It’s in a book of MGWR drawings published by the IRRS.
-
MGWR had such 4 wheel timber bolsters - about 17’ long from buffer to buffer.
-
A gentle waft of primer. Off to harden for 48 hrs...

One of the big gaps in the 7mm market is the humble brake van. Alphagraphix do a SLNCR one but there’s nothing from the main lines. So when I needed a CIE brake van I had to make one from drawings. So here’s a glimpse before she goes into primer...it’s an MGWR prototype. Plasticard body and chassis. Handrails 0.7mm brass wire. Slaters wheels and brake blocks. Invertrain axleboxes - thankfully the steps hide the Caledonian Railway markings! GWR buffers from Northants Model Supplies. Worst bit was fabricating the steps and brackets from bits of brass. A painful few hours of soldering....

Looks lovely! Just right against that U tender in the pic....

Thanks for the tip ! Got my copy and very good it is too.....
-
Looks amazing - nice to see a Bandon tank. And as for the snack bar - I’ll have a glass of Cidona please !
-
Yes, that’s my suggestion too. Shim under the copper strip . Might be hard to create a solder bump of consistent height
-
Thanks! V nice bit of work
-
Thought it might have a UM pedigree! Looks great - any chance of a closeup please?
-
Looks great, Mike. Is that a blue 4-4-0 I see lurking in some of the shots?
-
Carrickfergus cabin is still extant and easily accessible as is Portrush. It was not uncommon for window frames in cabins to be a standard size which may give you a scalar to work off
-
Love this idea - Dromahair was my family’s local station. Lots of resources out there now thanks to Alphagraphix. Scaled down on a photocopier, Roger’s kits will be an ideal source of drawings for you.
-
Thought I’d better do an update. Baseboards finally painted. And I’ve built a tracklaying jig - almost ready for work. Not exactly Bretland’s system but hey?! First mock-up looks ok I think....
-
Maybe it was just the Larne line but I also remember these with arched corrugated roofs? Certainly passed one every day between Greenisland and Jordanstown adjacent to the Up line. Roy Carlisle and Ian Sinclair’s books (which I don’t have access to right now or I’d look!) may help with pics.

Thanks Glover - have just made a PayPal payment so here’s hoping! I’ve seen old editions which look good so looking forward to receiving
