  1. Agreed - and he’s the only SLNC brass supplier. In 7mm, Roger at Alphagraphix occupies an analogous position.
  2. Forum at its best in such matters
  3. Fascinating to see you re-enacting the real history of the CVR stock David. Although your two CVR tank locos are probably nervously hoping you don’t take this historical fidelity too far!
  4. Now DJ, you have an O gauge A class already
  5. Trinity Technology Group
  6. Several thin coats….
  7. Great start. When you start scenery though, the level crossing might look a bit odd if it only extends over two tracks ! Great clean work though.
  8. Try T R Williamson website - they do a range of railway reds with RAL codes - sorry can’t post web links for some reason.
  9. Very nice. Do I spot a Nellie too?
  10. First Irish loco I ever built. Nowadays I’d make an effort at MGW livery!
  11. the JT would be an easier undertaking as the splashers on the J26 would be tight, if the 7mm experience is anything to go by.
  12. Currently working on my 4th loco from Roger. Great little kits and well thought out with a fold up chassis. As you say Colin, the cast w/m parts aren’t a deal breaker. I often swap them out anyway for lost wax alternatives.
  13. Looks great David. I think it’s worth experimenting with a red truck (maybe try a painted card overlay as a trial ). On balance I think the two tone cab should stay, as it would have allowed seamless swaps for maintenance when 10’s regular can required attention. Although I do see what Alan means !
  14. Not my scale, not my era, not my thing, but these are terrific and ideal way for people to dip their toe into doing some modelling for themselves. Great work!!
  15. Colin - it’s probably just as easy to build an SSM kit to 21mm gauge as try to fiddle with an OO gauge model, and creating an extra 4.5mm of clearance within the body shell. At least one of the drawings you are after will be inModel Railway Constructor, early 70s - Tim Cramer’s J26. Roger Crombleholme has main outline drawings of J18 and G2.
  16. Tasty !! I’m building the same chassis arrangement right now, which has floating axles at each end. No easy solution with such things….
  17. J26 or J18
  18. Fabulous Alan. The public need to see layouts of this quality!!
  19. Lovely. Unusual to see a Jeep at Cloghan NOT on a spoil train. Galteemore senior senior btw, sourced the blue paint that Guinness sports…..
  20. Not a million miles off SLNCR railcar B!!
  21. 1875 plan allowed for a Bundoran-Sligo railway. This was abandoned in 1878 when the SLNC was authorised instead.
  22. As a member of the Gauge O Guild, I have read some of the on-the-ground comments from the group concerned. The miscreants seem to have been frustrated burglars in search of cash. They made off with about £30 and two old vacuum cleaners…..
  23. Incredible bargains. You can buy an O gauge steam loco for less than the price of a 4 wheel o gauge van!
  24. Make them work on the IRM ‘delivery updates for new model releases’ enquiry team……
  25. Such sad news. Never met Ken but his modelling- and approach to it - were inspiring. Combined talent with humility.
