    Thought as much. I was walking up that way to Platform 1 to get the 17.55.

    Great pics Kieran. Were you the one standing, camera in hand, on platform 2 in Heuston today around 17.45 by any chance?

    My condolences for your loss JHB. As a young civil engineer myself your father seems like a source of great inspiration to anyone in the profession.

    Its been far too long since I posted any update here. I needed an engine shed for my dockyard/loco stabling area so I decided to scratchbuild one. I've made a start on the frame and included a few pics below. The roof will be the most difficult part I imagine.

    That looks great so far and thanks for putting up the pics, I have one of these to build and these will be very helpful

    That is just stunning, the level of detail is unbelievable!

    Shouldn't they be the same? I always thought the only change to Craven's from the B&T livery to the IR/IE livery was the addition of the 2 white 3-inch strips above and below the black band. As far as I'm aware the mk3's and possibly the Galway mk2's were the only coaches to carry the brighter 'orange' livery but I could be very wrong there!

    It would have to be a 121 or an A Class for me too. A 121 with a Mk3 Push-Pull set would be brilliant One of the main issues I can see with this is that; if the main delay in MM producing a 121 is the lack of funds due to unsold stock, there is the dilemma that a new model may attract more sales away from models already on the shelves.

    Definitely Newbridge alright. The new ticket office just doesn't fit in with the existing buildings. I also used to travel to and from school in Newbridge so this station has mixed feelings. Before that my father used to bring us down to watch the trains on a regular basis. I remember the station master at the time (about 20 years ago) was a gentleman and used to show us around the buildings because he knew my grandfather from the Sallins signal box.

    Great job as usual Anthony. The passengers inside the Park Royals really add to it too.

    The layout looks great and what a fantastic collection of stock too
  12. Barl
    Sounds like a fantastic plan for a layout and I'm really looking forward to seeing the different times being modelled

    A lovely addition to the fleet and still such a nice looking model.
  14. Barl
    Excellent videos and a great range of stock as always!

    I think when they talk about a tank they mean an air reservoir which gives a more steady stream of air rather than the 'pulses' of air coming straight from a compressors piston. As Glenderg says, the newer non-reservoir compressors have probably overcome this problem though. I remember a few years back, when I was researching which compressor to buy, I read about one guy using a normal cheap 12V compressor to pump up the tube from a car tyre and he then used this as his air source for spraying. A cheap and cheerful reservoir I guess!

    Not an easy video to watch, such a waste of good coaches. On a happier note the misspelling of 'scrapped' as 'scraped' reminds me of the car raffle episode of Father Ted!

    Great collection of photo's Wanderer. Having relied on this service to travel to school, college and now work these photo's bring back some good memories. It used to be nice to see a new railcar type taking over every few years or so. It's funny how the 'Arrow' branding has stuck though; I often hear people still refer to it as the 'Arrow' service even though it hasn't been in use for several years!

    Lovely layout Patrick. The stock and the excellent scenery help to create the atmosphere of an Irish themed layout
  19. Barl
    That's just brilliant Anthony and the backscene and layout are beautifully blended. You've probably answered this before but what make are the backscenes?
  20. Barl
    Excellent work Glenderg and a brilliant solution for the winows on the mk3's! Those plough vans are top notch too
  21. Barl
    Great layout it has loads of atmosphere on show

    Very nice work, it looks like all that filling and sanding was well worth it
  23. Barl
    Excellent job on the weathering, it really improves the realism. Thanks for sharing your techniques also!
  24. Barl
    Yes, I only got a quick look but it appears to be the same as the livery applied to the end of the mk3 coach a while back! Its certainly green enough anyway
  25. Barl
    Looks like there's a 29000 set outside Inchicore this morning in the new all over green livery. Anyone got pics?
