    This is one of their other coaches. Interesting photo angle. Shows how wide 3’ gauge actually is!
  2. Galteemore
    Nice. Fred Dean visited just a bit later….the chair has improved !

    Don’t think the plastic vacuum pipes would survive such treatment….
  4. Galteemore
    Indeed they were ! Those rough oul toast racks were dreadful too. One thing the SCR did brilliantly was recall the Irish roadside tram. Schull or Clogher Valley stock would have been amazing. Here’s one of the Belgians @Southwold

    Excellent Ken. I have recently built the 3mm scale WW etch of the NG Drewry. It’s good / but basic!! Great level of detail already from your work. Love the way that signature features such as the radiator and fuel tank are so faithfully replicated.

    Although to be fair, the old Mainline LMS ones aren’t far off …

    I knew it wasn’t a Metcalfe kit but that’s a totally different level again. Real sophistication of technique here - thanks for sharing.

    Now that’s very fine work. Looks really well - picture 1 especially impressive. What’s the process behind the station buildings ? They look really good

    Here’s a video of a recent model….

    But of course, Hawthorn Leslie was a North Eastern workshop. Bound to turn out ugly stuff. You need to head to Manchester for true locomotive elegance

    No way could I do such a thing myself Mike but I know there’s some who might find it a short cut to a chassis ! if I was building a Bandon tank it would be an Alphagraphix 7mm one…. The A5 looks a lovely model and it’s another NE one for you Ernie!!
  12. Galteemore
    Lovely Ernie. Having visited a few times, I get the charm of it! I had a an IOW terrier in 7mm before I moved to 5’3”. The Vectis lines are almost Irish at times, with a gentler climate. These are good times for OO modellers - Sonic models have just shown a GCR 4-6-2T, one of my favourites, which might be a useful donor chassis for a CBSC 4-6-0T if you can live with a few discrepancies…..

    Great - thanks Ernie. That tool hut looks suspiciously like the pay carriage off the GSWR ‘Sprite’. Image courtesy ‘Locomotives of the GSWR’ via RM Web
  14. Galteemore
    Great stuff Ernie. Hope you get some positive news on the health front.
  15. Galteemore
    And some fool spots it….I can do none of the things you mention there but do spend much of my working life editing text …sorry Ken ! The wagons really have a classic Irish look and a world away from the repainted BR box van with a flying snail transfer that many of us have passed off as Irish!
  16. Galteemore
    “Very pleased with how the detail has poped out once painted” Excellent work Ken, although I am struggling to see the Roman influence……;) In all seriousness these wagons look the business

    Tracked it down. RPSI PWI special was 1985…..https://www.geograph.ie/photo/3789663
  18. Galteemore
    Wasn’t there a special for the PWI with RPSI wooden stock, steam hauled with a number of loco changes?
  19. Galteemore
    They operate at the other end of the supplier spectrum to Hornby etc and production fluctuates! I am pretty sure I saw it at Scaleforum a few years ago. SE Finecast do a thin corrugated sheet which I think would be more amenable to bending than Evergreen sheet and certainly than Ratio’s toffee-like slabs.
  20. Galteemore
    IIRC Ambis Engineering do or did corrugated sheet like that. http://www.ambisengineering.co.uk/Products/Products_Index.htm
  21. Galteemore
    Those are top notch Ken. Instantly recognisable Irish prototypes and nicely finished. Will look wonderful when painted up.
  22. Galteemore
    Looks well so far. The cycling coach Dave Brailsford talks about marginal gains and the cumulative effect on a teams performance - the small steps that add up. This is a classic example of marginal gains at work. Every piece of point rodding, every ground signal, adds to the composite picture of Larne Harbour. The whole thing is coming together so well.
  23. Galteemore
    Thank you. I can enjoy the pictures properly now
  24. Galteemore
    That’s looking really good. Loads of atmosphere even without the exiguous buildings. Shouldn’t that distant be fixed at danger though ?;)
  25. Galteemore
    The NCC locos are very tricky - David Lloyd and Charlie Insley both say so ! They don’t have a normal footplate so the tanks are effectively the loco foundation. All the same I fancy a try some day, but have a few things in the mix first……
