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.

Can anyone confirm the identity of this station
Barl replied to Irishswissernie's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
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
-
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.
-
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!

Happy Birthday Kildare Commuter Rail!

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
-
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?
-
Excellent work Glenderg and a brilliant solution for the winows on the mk3's! Those plough vans are top notch too
-
Great layout it has loads of atmosphere on show
-
Very nice work, it looks like all that filling and sanding was well worth it
-
Excellent job on the weathering, it really improves the realism. Thanks for sharing your techniques also!
-
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
-
Looks like there's a 29000 set outside Inchicore this morning in the new all over green livery. Anyone got pics?
-
They all look great Kirley, the 201 seems to sit nicely on the 66 chassis! That looks like a very neat job with the fibre-optic lighting on the A-class; I did something similar with mine but it was very fiddly and I'm not entirely happy with it but yours looks a much better set up.
-
Yes found it, they have an article on the indo too. So much for rail security, bring back guards! http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/commuters-left-terrified-following-chaos-on-evening-train-30079812.html
-
I normally get this train home from work every day but I was slightly delayed today so got the 18.10 instead which seems to be a bit of luck! Anyone know what happened?
-
I put a 66 under my Lima 219 a while back also. I think I had some pics up on the old site but I stuck in a few below. I added lights and an SSM detail kit when I was at it and I think it scrubbed up fairly well If anyone wants more advice or pics I'll do my best to help! Next to her newer Murphy's sister!
