    It’s an excellent show. Great mix of layouts and trade. Recommended!
  2. Galteemore
    Small factory ?
  3. Galteemore
    Yes, I’ve ordered some plastic strip (great discount) and a bottle of Hatton’s own weathering mix - just so I can have a branded Hattons’ product as a keepsake!

    Interesting David. I was staring very hard at that picture an hour ago, willing it to be green! But I think you’re right - it’s black really….
  5. Galteemore
    That just looks incredible David. What a fantastic build!
  6. Galteemore
    Very nice. Sets the era very well

    You need to use thin stuff - under 0.5mm or thereabouts. Best place is an engineering supplier like College Engineering or Metalsmith. Ideal source would be another modeller who can let you have some scrap etch bits etc. eBay may be able to assist.

    Great stuff. SMS range is really good and they seem a nice friendly company. I get their weekly customer email which is a nice round-up of modelling expertise- often images of their products in use. I hope you’ll be sending them pics of Clogherhead.

    No worries. If someone goes to the trouble of posting the results of their modelling, I think it deserves a response!

    Worth the effort - looking good

    Must be early UTA for the UG. Still pretty clean with GNR markings very clear!

    This is all an ongoing debate in 7mm world. Consensus is that big shows may have had their day. Cameo shows like Larkrail seem to thrive, with smaller layouts requiring fewer crew and thus lower expenditure. Mind you, people probably thought collapse of IMREX decades ago was end of the world - and it wasn’t. https://www.themodelrailwayclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/15_Exhibition.pdf

    Yes. It’s happened before - W and H, Beatties, Victors, Modelzone…still a sad loss though. Always liked the old school paper parcels.

    I was in Cheltenham Model Centre a few weeks ago and they had bought some of the EE stock but not catalogued yet.

    Loving this. Like the lifebelt cabinet on the sea wall too.
  16. Galteemore
    Purchase here https://irrs.ie/archives/maps_drawings/

    IRRS have a drawing of the SLNC van, available electronically.

    And so it begins. Another falls into the all embracing arms of 7mm. There’s no going back now, Ken ….;) stellar work btw…..

    Get yourself a fibreglass pen, some flux, and some scrap brass to practice on. Try a wagon or even a brass building kit (eg a small shed or similar). Practice skills like scribing and folding brass. Once learned never forgotten. https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/techniques/how-to-build-your-first-etched-brass-kit/

    The CIE coaches will be produced btw - the company is not insolvent and is closing down in an orderly way.

    Yes, given that in 1922 every other engine in Adelaide was black (no GNRI blue or green then!) something must have stood out for Fred!
  22. Galteemore
    Made one of these about 30 years ago after reading ‘The Mighty Hood’ as a kid. Those etches really lift the model, as they provide real finesse. Agreed re thin line, challenging though it was to mask!
  23. Galteemore
    Thanks Jb, but the Small and Large Tanks have the aesthetic edge over the Loughs ! Re the DSER moguls, they were well travelled in early life- one of the few DSE classes to see north of Dublin. Arriving during the Civil War, they were sent to Adelaide for safety (the irony of this to a child of the 70s is hilarious). Fred Graham, who saw the engines in steam at Adelaide, swore they were green….
  24. Galteemore
    That’s fabulous David. Really captures the look of the prototype. Nice work on the turning !

    Hope the recovery goes well Patrick. Lovely to see 205 looking so much at home.
