Nice, fine work Angus. Will really show on the finished model. The trusty GW press…. just taken mine out of its box this week for an upcoming task. What a great little gadget it is.

Ken / bit of a cheeky question but would it possible to purchase a ‘DSE Drawing Book’ ? I’m not sure I want to pitch your fine wagons side by side with my efforts but I’d love to have a go at scratch building a few with your most helpful drawings - esp if there was a bespoke 7mm version. Cheeky question but just felt I had to ask

This is very impressive Adrian. And you’re quite right ~is amazing what skills you can develop on the way. Although to be fair it looks as if you had quite a few skills already honed! -
An enticing development - looks great now but will look even better when your backscene goes in! The globe lamp looks good - what’s its provenance?
-
Really nice bit of work - you should be pleased with that

Yes I’ve had problems with a Hornby one like that. I don’t think they are designed for a long life or serious modelling use. Gaugemaster are great - with a lifetime guarantee. This is a great starter one. https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/gaugemaster-gmc-combi.html

Elementary, my dear Watson…..Sherlock Holmes is clearly sleuthing me down!
-
Exactly like that !
-
As a minimum space modeller, that’s a useful little wagon! Dead right re louvres - a definite case for 3d printing right there !
-
Ye can’t escape JB right now. He’s even on UTV. Galteemore Snr was very impressed by that Enterprise programme

This may help, Tony - some good wiring diagrams. Do you want some of the motors to throw simultaneously? https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwir18ykhcP0AhWZQfEDHWzWBNAQjhx6BAgBEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rmweb.co.uk%2Fcommunity%2Findex.php%3F%2Ftopic%2F115511-wiring-multiple-point-motors%2F&psig=AOvVaw3EC3RxG3OQJ2-AfHfgnmkt&ust=1638463175358378

Let’s hope so - Sligo Goods and Foynes back on the map ?

Thanks Brack - I had missed him and wondered if all was ok. Give him our best wishes please! -
Brookhall Mill - A GNR(I) Micro Layout
Galteemore replied to Patrick Davey's topic in Irish Model Layouts
Brrrrr…..hope that railcar has the heating on! Lovely atmospheric shots Patrick. -
That’s good - as you can guess from the small ads that are hopefully in this NIL I have plans afoot! Looking forward to seeing more photos as this develops / exciting to see another 7mm Irish layout coming out !!
-
Looking good David. Nice convincing roughness to the finish, without being crude and unfinished. Very reminiscent of a farmhouse in North Leitrim I knew so well!! Is there a significant problem with PCB supply etc right now ? Asking for a friend……
-
as opposed to Burma tanks ….
-
And don’t they drive on the wrong side of the road over there ?
-
That’s brilliant Angus, and a great way to build up a mixed train quite fast. They look really good.
-
Oh dear - that poor VS looks lovely but also as if it’s had an argument with a much bigger engine…either that or that’s a profound case of buffer droop…
-
Indeed there is Jb - Sir Frederick Hamilton, who built the castle in Manorhamilton, was the son of an earlier Claud Hamilton - a direct ancestor of the GER chairman. One wonders what he would have made of the SLNC - a world away from the GER and its expresses ! And to avoid thread creep entirely, imagine if the SLNC had been renewed and relaid by Euro money and re-equipped with As in two tone green and Cravens in SLNC maroon….that, however, is the kind of fantasy you want to paint up Lima class 33s and Mark 1s for, not IRM and Murphy models!
-
Interestingly, Claud Hamilton (the big blue loco) has a strong Irish connection. It was named after Lord C H, an officer in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, and son of the Duke of Abercorn (the family seat is still at Baronscourt in Co Tyrone). Hamilton was Chairman of the GER and took a huge personal interest in it, travelling across the system and seeking to thoroughly understand and improve it.
-
Yes, there’s common ground with that cab and tanks - classic Beyer Peacock DNA shared across more than a few designs. At least one modeller has simply painted a Radial tank black and adopted it as an honorary SLNC loco.
-
Ah come on now, JB . There’s some serious competition there!!! These are the pick of the bunch,surely….,.
-
Nice work. Some seriously subtle modelling here.
