    DART 40

    Galteemore replied to Niles's topic in News

    Hard to believe DART is 40. What’s striking is that only 20 years before the DART steam was regularly seen in and around Dublin, including frequent visits by a VS class - all of which seemed a lifetime ago in 1984! I was struck last week by the birthday celebrations of Paddy Hemingway, 105 now and the last surviving Battle of Britain pilot, who lives in Dublin. He joined the RAF in 1938 - ie before the 800s even left the works….amazing to think of someone still living who has seen so much……

    Great to hear David, how did NPQ get on ?

    Delightful. Lovely to see the Glover tank in motion

    Really looks the business. Not overdone with fussy details but just enough signature pieces that show this is an Irish layout. Excellent work.

    Lovely Ernie. Glenfarne shot is probably the 2pm goods out of Enniskillen. A close look at the shot of the Omagh train suggests that the 7:20 to Sligo will be railbus worked tonight. There is no stock in the Sligo bay, which implies the bogie coach did not travel across on the 1115 goods ex Sligo. This was an increasingly common occurrence in the line’s final days, much to the chagrin of many an enthusiast!

    Looks great. Agree with Alan re last photo / fabulous!
  8. Galteemore
    Agreed. Well worth the effort !

    I would be very wary of removing and re-applying buffers individually. The visual effect of drooping or misaligned buffers will be far more visually distracting than this small discrepancy. In the 7mm world we certainly find that applying buffers individually requires careful checking to ensure horizontal and vertical alignment
  10. Galteemore
    Is it a buffering issue? I’ll get me coat…..

    The answer is in post 1. Apart from the actual brake fittings, not much difference.

    No, brown came later Colin

    That’s a shame. I loved my Kato trains. Especially the ones that looked like GNRI railcars !!

    Crying out for a photo comparison with your 7mm one…
  15. Galteemore
    I have one and recommend it. To clarify, it’s available in both 32mm and 36.75mm gauge. Chris has also done other design work and printing for me - recommended. No connection other than happy customer.

    I used plastruct or Evergreen t-section with separately applied rivets ….

    The Anson was one of those aircraft which just proved incredibly effective at what it did, like a select few other types. The Canberra outlasted its contemporaries, and the B52 will probably hit 100 years of service. Amazing to think that when the first B52 flew, cattle trains were still running on the Tralee and Dingle. The Douglas DC-3, which dates from 1943, is still highly valued by certain specialist users.

    Looks fabulous. I know this is a temporary board, which will help you think about how to access centre of board on the ‘production version’ for track cleaning and - not that this will happen of course, derailments.

    Just a bit….got the building made just not enough room for a layout to go with it!!!

    Never thought I’d hear John’s Gospel paraphrased into modelling ! Agree with the philosophy BTW, esp when so well demonstrated

    LHR to Dover

    Galteemore replied to K801's topic in General Chat

    Heathrow Express train to Paddington. Tube to St Pancras (circle line) and catch train to Dover. Can also get trains from London Bridge, but it’s a more awkward tube journey. The UK’s ‘National Rail Journey Planner’ (Google search will find) will give you actual times etc

    Fabulous work Alan. I’d never noticed that footplate narrowing before. Thankfully the SLNC tanks avoided such complications! Soldering irons can be most distracting - wouldn’t be first time I’d plunged one into a jar of flux instead of the cleaning pot…..

    In fairness, given my fitness levels in those days, my priority was looking for oxygen when climbing those hills.
  24. Galteemore
    Wow. Having tramped up hill and dale here for years doing my Duke of Edinburgh’s award, amazed I missed this!!!

    Www.chris-draw.com is the place to go Leslie. He also does special long buffer magnetic couplings for Irish stock……;)
