    Glimpsed at very back of woodwork shop at Cultra recently….

    Opinion is certainly Polaris-ed on the matter. Some people have gone ballistic over it.

    Sorry @LNERW1 and @Horsetan, I should have added an irony emoji!! I find it hard enough to model 5’3” clearances in 7mm never mind T…..As I hinted in my original post, T is the perfect scale for impressionist rather than perfectionist modelling ….

    You might also have an opportunity to fit dummy valve gear, as I think the splashers are moulded into the flat plastic panel which in real life would be daylight under the boiler. . Removing the splashers outwards will open that space up as it should be. Thankfully Jinty bodies are straightforward to pick up used so you can have a play around with some old ones before tackling that lovely UTA livery!

    But has anyone produced anything to scale 5’3”? In all seriousness, would be a great way to tackle some of the set piece scenic features of the Irish system such as the Valencia Road viaducts, with an emphasis on sweep of vista rather than the stock

    Wizard models, Ambis, Smiths all do them. Planning on using them for operation?

    Interesting chat with Galteemore snr yesterday who recalls NG steam at Ballyclare -on footplate of a Larne Aluminium loco on the lifting train c1953!! Imagine the noise of that up Inver bank!!

    Echoes of a Southern Maunsell Q - esp around frame/ splasher interface

    Patterson makes odd remark that line was lifted in June 1940 and shipped to France for use by BEF. This sounds like a real urban myth. No way that BEF in June 1940 was looking for light railways! Small ships, perhaps….

    Wow that’s fabulous Alan! Must be working the famous Copeland Islands boat train!

    Mayner’s comments on the Alphagraphix one are correct, as I built one to MGWR style and it involved turning some etches inside out to hide the rivets! A cast early smokebox door and alternative chimney were included - I imagine that the GSR pattern will be easy to find off the shelf, whereas a 4mm modeller may need to turn their own MGW style chimney.

    Sorry Mark - you haven’t been on the forum for a bit. Sadly Ken died earlier this year, which has left a huge hole in our midst.
  13. Galteemore
    Yes, it struck me as very ‘with it’ for the build date, when domestic flush toilets were only beginning to become a feature of new middle class house builds. Mind you, this is 1st class. A fabulous project bringing a much neglected area of railway history to life.
  14. Galteemore
    Would certainly be convenient

    The NG stuff is gorgeous. The 21mm gauge GNR stuff is stunning. Interesting to see these are built by Jeremy Suter Fancy a steam special, @murphaph? Wonder if @Horsetanknows anything of the provenance of these. Looks good enough to have graced Adavoyle.

    Great. Could be a nice little fundraiser ……
  17. Galteemore
    Ok I give up. Which one was Wallace and which one Gromit?
  18. Galteemore
    Lovely find Patrick. NCC mileposts may not be especially rare in and of themselves but finding any solid remains of the NI narrow gauge lines is very unusual. Most of it has simply vaporised, with very few exceptions such as Moorfields signal cabin. One of my favourite spots was Headwood station, swept away just a few years ago in the A8 works.
  19. Galteemore
    That’s terrific work David -really looks at home! You’ve made a lovely job of what is actually a complex shape.
  20. Galteemore
    That’s wonderful. You know, I think those replica plates would sell very nicely. I’d seriously consider giving one a home.
  21. Galteemore
    Yes, so glad I got to see his shunting layout with the chain working ! Note capstan posts in top pic. Photos courtesy RM Web
  22. Galteemore
    How sad - a legend. He built Irish locos in S too. This is a Kerry Bogie. Image by A S May on S Society website - @Broadstone’s layout, I believe.

    LNWR livery is pretty much dead on for Dundalk Newry and Greenore Railway
  24. Galteemore
    Yes, I think Tarmac is now quite elusive. Thankfully the general range of Humbrol enamels is more widely available again after last year’s lacuna.
  25. Galteemore
    Patience is a virtue clearly ! Well done Alan. It’s really frustrating when you have been through the arduous climb that is a metal scratch or kit build, only to have the prize of the nicely lined and painted end product snatched away! This is turning out beautifully now.
