Stunning, the level of detail is fantastic. Lovely atmosphere. Thanks for sharing

Lovely work

Hi

 

Myself and Baseboard Dave were discussing the drawings over the last few days-

 

We have decided to revert back to 600mm for the depth of the boards in the drawing, this is because not all raw material boards are supplied with clean-n-straight edges so to allow for economics in getting 4 tops from the one sheet- its best to allow for a bit of trimming.

 

I will update the drawing over the next few days

 

Any comments

We are also going to produce at least 4 boards for next year, modelling Dun Laoghaire fully completed. That's the plan at least.

Lovely work David, the weeds look great.

I don't blame ya man, they are all stunners. I want to get a 9F at some stage and kit her out. I'm going to get a smoke generator for the Challanger

Bosko if your ever going to sell that 9F I want first dibs on it, its the nuts!

Thanks lads, she's a stunner. Only problem is I have no layout to run her since I have moved:(

Hi Sean,

Have a look at http://www.freetrackplans.com they have lots of track plans for 8 x 4. Also an upper level would work well. You could have a terminus station on the upper level which would break up the lower level taking the train set look away from it.

We do an 8 x 4 in 3 sections including legs for €290 if your interested, it can be made into 4 or 5 sections if access is a problem.

Best of luck with it:tumbsup:

Forget about Big Boy girls, you need one of these!

These were the heaviest reciprocating steam locomotives ever built, at 389 tons for the locomotive itself plus 215 tons for the loaded tender

But the Big Boy was the most powerful steam loco

Too much train porn on this site

Looks like real concrete, coming along nicely:-bd

Great pic:tumbsup:

Those pocket wagons look great, the whole layout looks great. Are you switching the signals via points or dcc?

Thanks lads, she is a monster the 071 was tiny beside her! I love the late Union Pacific steam era into early diesels. I want a Big Boy next, that's a 4-8-8-4!

Thanks Rich, I'm really getting into the American stuff. Although my main interest is Irish I just couldn't resist it!

Picked up this little (well not quite so little) beauty at the weekend with 20 boxcars, Genesis Challenger 4-6-6-4

And a little video

Looks good, keep us posted as you go.

Whats the scale?

David, that is truly stunning work. The layout is spectacular well done

I would love to get a 10' x 5' baseboard with a complete layout running Irish stock on the show next year.

It's on the RTE player at 1 hour 20 seconds. Pity it wasn't running Irish stock.

The very best of luck Richie

Those signals are excellent, I have fitted quite a few to customers layouts. They look great on your layout.

Anyrail is the way to go Paudie, simple to use.

Looks very impressive, that engine shed is a monster. It's going to be a stunning layout
