Have knocked up a new front of arches.been spending time looking up pictures and videos online and after a bunch of attempts its not too bad.it also seems there's a side building and what looks like a chimney.also have looked at a survey map from around 1910 and there's a 4 track coal yard to the right of the turntable. Need a trip to marks models have to get brick paper sheets.trial and error iv used up my stock.also need windows and brick headers from lcut uk which takes several weeks .

Just curious,anybody have an idea when the 4 brick arches were removed and the shutters installed on the engine shed in connolly.iv seen a picture of the shed in 1971 with the arches and also looks like the modern side building is not there either.looks like something red brick in keeping with rest of building.iv been unable to find a picture of what this was. Iv the side extension made as a separate building as not sure when it was added.think ill make up both fronts of the shed and see which I like best.id like my shed to be sorta mid seventies in feel.im a child of the 70s after all.

Iv gotten some styrene and am waiting on windows to come from the uk.windows are really not ideal but I can't find what I want.card is great to knock things up quickly.a 3d in the hand item to take measurements and to do wrong and redo is very interesting.this is all new to me so everything is learning hands on.

Waiting on windows from the uk.balsa wood is very fragile,never built anything before so trying balsa to start,but thinking styrene might cut better.

Without equal the worst cardboard mock up in the history of model railways.but in saying that,gives me a 3d look at what I'm going to attempt to build.due to being unable to find a correct size of window cabin wont be to scale length by about 40 mm.i think.

This is purely nostalgia for me.an interesting part of irish model rail history.first train set i had was the c.i.e superfreight set from hornby.have recently bought 2 c.i.e hymeks and wagons that were in the set..as of this I'm only getting into the hobby over the last couple of years.

Cheers for the offer.bit tapped out after the raheny show.. -
Was on ebay recently and came across what was advertised as a murphy models class 33 in supertrain livery.i bid on it at about 80 pounds sterling and decided to look online at some pics of the model on the forums.the one on ebay just didn't look the same.the seller on ebay said was from a trainset but didnt have 215 on the corners and the tippex stripe was very thick looking compared to others id seen online.my question is are there variations of the model,or are they all the same?I withdrew my bid.curious as to know are there fakes out there . Cheers Dar.
