That's fantastic, love his sanding booth.

No I haven't, I have 3 of them fitted to Kato locos and they run fine.
-
Wow, that's a stunner! The container is superb.
-
Thanks Lads, it's a great piece of kit. I like the different size paint cups and it can paint some very fine lines. I'll mostly use it for track work.

Ta, the airbrush I got off ebay with a filter regulator links below. Went for a middle of the road airbrush, very happy with it. The static grass is a blend of a few different types to get the shading right. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/331225196182?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 http://www.ebay.ie/itm/161254775887?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Well after a long, long time I took the plunge and bought an airbrush a few months ago. Finally got around to put it to some use. Ahem, no laughing please as its my first attempt. Did a bit of track weathering today on a layout I built for a customer.
-
Welcome back, looking forward to seeing the updates.

Here is a couple of pics from a layout I am currently working on showing the start of the slope. Locos climb effortlessly

Nothing to apologise for Nelson, its a stunning job. Did you cast the white metal yourself?

Murphy Models do the sound chip for the 071 for €120 and the 141 needs a speaker fitted and the chip is available from the model shop in Belfast

Hattons do there own range of DCC decoders, I have used quite a few of them and find them reliable and very competitively priced. Postage is very cheap too 8 pin 4 function http://www.ehattons.com/62784/Hattons_Model_Railways_Ltd_DCR_8PIN_Harness_8_pin_harness_4_function_1_1Amp_decoder_with_back_EMF/StockDetail.aspx 21 pin 4 function http://www.ehattons.com/71920/Hattons_Model_Railways_Ltd_DCR_21PIN_Direct_21_pin_4_function_1_1Amp_direct_plug_decoder_with_back_EMF/StockDetail.aspx

Very clever, the simplest ideas are always the best!
-
The transition from flat needs to be very gentle, the track will bend no problem.
-
Lovely stuff Noel, welcome to the forum. Looks like a big layout. Keep us posted of your progress
-
Lovely scene Eamonn
-
They look great, the detail is fantastic
-
You Tube is a great source of information, I also have a few books and I keep magazines as their are great tutorials in them. The best way to learn is to get stuck in, start with a small diorama and develop from there. You will quickly learn what works and what doesn't.

Not sure Sean, I'm not experienced on weathering.
-
Looks great Sean, you did a good job on them. Did you dry brush them?
-
Very nice Sean.
-
Amazing job, paintwork is spot on. Well done
-
Welcome to the site, nice and dirty, just how I like em.
-
Great advise, I do that all the time and have saved on postage. Another thing I do is use parcel motel when ordering from the UK that offer free Uk postage or will only post to UK. It only costs €3.95 per parcel. I buy paint in this way as UK shops won't post paint to Ireland. More info here http://www.parcelmotel.com/

They look great, where did you get the fencing, looks really well.
-
Nice shots spudfan, a part of Ireland's forgotten railways. Love the converted tractor.
