Trying to figure out recessed window frames while waiting on a few bits from the uk.

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. Dar.

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.

265 for dickie wagon pack and mm141 thrown in for free.

Don't remember it myself.shame its gone as it must have looked very impressive where it was.

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.

Bought windows from lcut in the uk.just seeing roughly how things will look.

Was watching on you tube earlier.

Might do a mock up in 2mm card and see how it looks to start with.

Thanks for everyone's help and input.hsve a good idea of footprint now with this..all coming together now. Cheers Dar

Thats a fantastic view of the interior.and how its laid out.ill ģo look for the Alphagraphix one Cheers Dar

Its an interesting building i didnt know existed until recently.theres an awful lot of glass to it.might have to scratch build the windows.something iv never attempted.thans for all the help much appreciated. Drawing just a vague idea as to how might look. Dar.

Thanks for that

I got an application form on Saturday so might sign up as looks really interesting.

Its a shame to see so much of rail history here demolished.its good to see its being documented.

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.

Was talking to one of them on Saturday at show in raheny.never crossed my mind to ask. Cheers for that.ill email them and ask. Dar.

Was thinking of making a version of the gnr signal box that was outside Connolly station and demolished in the 80s.iv seen a few pics of it.to me the base looks about 10 ft wide and about 50ft long.was wondering if anyone had an idea of the dimensions of it. Cheers Dar.

Cladding in 1.5mm balsa sheet inside and out for strength.

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.

Frame in 6mm balsa wood.500mm long so far.500 more to finish.have done side building separately in wood and clad in card before adding outer covering and roof,windows, gutters etc.

I went to school on the push pull trains.dont remember if 121s were on them.do remember the 201s and the railcar plastic seats ,in the winter they would have small pools of water on them from rain running off peoples coats.that was the late 70s.

I was looking at that.its exactly what I need.would need multiple sets.curious if parts could be bought separately. Would need enough for around 700mm of track times 3.
