    Railtec bound to have something JB

    Celsa Steel in Cardiff was a regular sighting for me of numerous GBRF 08s, as recently as within the last twelve months. Sadly about to be replaced by some kind of Unimog yoke.

    Back in the day it was known as ‘full employment’. Seriously, could be a route famil with a traction inspector, or staff member transiting to Coleraine. Normal practice as I recall was one man in the cab - no lady drivers back then. If a route famil, the students may have been checking signal sight lines or other landmarks.

    Some very nice SLNC footage in there

    IIRC many of the NIR announcements in recent years were done by Christopher Boomer, son of late RPSI chairman Sullivan Boomer, himself an occasional BBC Radio Ulster stand-in…..

    The situation does need stabilising

    Thank you.

    One of identical design still exists in Brazil, albeit in original well tank form, so it would be possible to see what they are capable of….image copyright Wilson Santos

    Agreed - and he’s the only SLNC brass supplier. In 7mm, Roger at Alphagraphix occupies an analogous position.

    Forum at its best in such matters

    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!
  12. Galteemore
    Now DJ, you have an O gauge A class already

    Several thin coats….

    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.

    Try T R Williamson website - they do a range of railway reds with RAL codes - sorry can’t post web links for some reason.

    Very nice. Do I spot a Nellie too?

    First Irish loco I ever built. Nowadays I’d make an effort at MGW livery!

    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.

    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.

    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 !

    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!!

    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.
  24. Galteemore
    Tasty !! I’m building the same chassis arrangement right now, which has floating axles at each end. No easy solution with such things….
  25. Galteemore
    J26 or J18
