This seems to happen a lot at Rails, not just the Irish items either. And they are not known for paying decent prices for the second hand items so the markup must be rediculous.

I use the 4mm versions as templates for Plasticard and Brass scratch builds on my inside OOn3 layouts. Don't think 7mm card would do very well outside on a 45mm gauge track or trying to light the fire for live steam. For reference the coach is about 2 foot long.

Just added a Cork and Muskerry Van kit (With the tarp centre roof) A built Schull an Skibereen medium Van, A built Clogher Valley Railway Horsebox and another Schull & Skibbereen Open Cattle Wagon kit. Shop has no more at present but I have put myself on the wish list for further arrivals and particularly anything from the guy that brought this lot in.

Yes it is "very nice" Actual (Ready drop punch riveted!) brass strip and brass rivets to go through the timber, Pre folded brass catches and runners for sliding doors. Pre bent Brass wire for the Grab handles. Real micro chain. Yes actual parts not cast whitemetal. A real craftsman job, to put together.

It was complete until DHL (DROP IT,hide it,lose it) had their hands on it. All the missing parts were in the box. Hence why I originally said I'll get the superglue. The photo does not do it justice either, even the cabling on the roof for the (working) lights and interior is done. I;m getting these Through GRS (Garden Railway Specialists), Princes Risborough. Second Hand. But Atropos were about in the 90's (even though these kits are still sealed), and did quite a bit of Irish NG. As well as a lot of prototypical Welsh NG, not the usual freelance stuff that is now sold.

Thanks, I wondered if it was a true model as it was with the specific kits. Seller has posted more kits on his site and I am now watching with more interest. The garden railway may need to be expanded.

Coach Think this should do it, though why is turned upside down?

Try again Coach Any better?

OK lads Identification help required. I just bought 2 Old Atropos Schull & Skibbereen Open Wagon kits, 3 Old Atropos Schull & Skibbereen Open Cattle Wagon, An old SixteenMills West Clare Horsebox kit and this Coach Coach 2 So any ideas or is it just someone's creation? I;ll get the Superglue out while you have a think.

Shirley, My name is Mark! And my Surname is not Neilson either.

I can't control which idiots come up from the smoke to do videos. how they sound or what other news teams sub editors will use as stock images in the background. The story stands, In that a local Wagon manufacturer is making some new stock for you to play with. And I will try and get a sneak peek photo or 2.

Was using a welding mask, Not a loco (or much else) in sight.

Would love to, but that is not really my skill set, much prefer holding an Iron.

Spoken to Mark at Blacksmith Models, similar story, Mismatched sheet numbers etc. He is only buying Photo tools (No Stock) a couple at a time apparently seems to work better. He is only after GWR Standard Guage. But has ended up with tools for an 8 car LNER articulated set? 8 sets of Coach Sides, Tick. 7 sets of Bogies, Tick. 8 Sets of Coach ends, X No only 7. So to get parts to complete he has to run the whole lot again for 1 set of ends.

Allen did have quite a stock of Brass, I helped him move it into shows on a few occasions (And that was just selected ranges specific to specialist shows). I am still trying to get Allen to give me a price. Last month's check on progress was met with a reply that he has no etches left (I knew that and the email sent included that it was to buy the rights and was not asking for kits) I have just phoned again and he said he was having problems, I can understand that. It just does not seem that he is actively seeking help to do anything with this. Neville is still waiting for sheet numbers for things he paid for over a year ago. A N Other is still trying to sort out between G & H and Allen to get sheet numbers for just 7 kits, Allen sent different list to the 2 relevant parties. I really want this myself but the longer it goes on the less likely I actually see a fruitful outcome.
