Had a look in my Alphagraphix catalogue and all I can see is a standard GNR cabin as pictured.....it’s 7mm scale but you could adjust on a photocopier and use the parts to build a larger cabin....

Price may be a shock but the maths do make sense for such a small batch built to order in brass and w/m.

Outstanding work !

Some good tips there: I have a Trumpeter hold and fold, whilst my bending bars for longer folds are from...https://www.vgibson.co.uk/ usual disclaimer - merely a satisfied customer and not the business owner .. Wouldn’t be without either tool, btw. I also lightly score along all folds with an engineer’s scribe before bending, which helps give a crisp fold. See also this very helpful guide on various aspects of kit construction, which got me started in brass... http://www.jimmcgeown.com/Print Off FAQ Booklet pdf.pdf

Love your paint shelves!

Looks great Ken! Point rodding is very effective

Ash or cinder ballast is commercially available. Or try this technique...http://nevardmedia.blogspot.com/2011/08/creating-effect-of-ash-ballast.html?m=1

Ash ballast?

I do sympathise, David, and I suspect Catweazle was on to something. I imagine he was a clockwork or live steam man. I’m always glad when the DC is flowing where it should be - one of the jobs I hate doing! As for ‘knowing just enough and no more’ - well that’s what I aspire to!!

Angus - significant step! When I sold my 32mm UK stuff one major investment of the proceeds was in these ...made for me by a model engineer....

Brilliant stuff!

Not so much heresy,Leslie, more like this...

Great choice Edo - you’d have been kicking yourself when they’re sold out..,

Suitably knackered fabric roof on and painted. Lamps are on and the stove pipe is in. Let her dry overnight and she’s done - if I can pluck up the courage I’ll weather it down a bit more..,

JHB - just for you......
-
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.
