You're too right Mark. All that great modelling content you have been putting up over the past few years is getting buried these days. I just cant find it anywhere.

Sounds like a few members on here... -

But of what? It's like spot the ball for us modellers! I've seen a few of these rechassised and detailed on RMWeb. Tom might have similar ideas!
-
Nice work Pat. Having nailed these together (as BR wagons it has to be said) I have found them a pleasure to make. Might work on Irishising a few to stick behind a 141 based on your findings.

Zing!

Looks like a rebuilt royal scot sans smoke deflectors to me. Maedb here we come???

Thankfully the error of their way was soon realised!

The site was indeed down for a period this morning but Boskonay sorted it all out. All back To normal now!
-
What are you on about!?!
-
Interesting stuff Tom, that's a sight I'd love to see. Any idea where you saw the pics?
-
I never said it was. I said it was 'WORTHY' Of their extensive archives. Spec savers for you Mr. Kelly. I believe the poster is a person calling himself Southern Yard on YouTube.
-
Absolutely Eoin, wouldn't say the saw the inside of one...
-
I'd say this comes from an archive worthy of the IRRS or the RPSI. Great stuff! [video=youtube_share;uOkWSudb-z0]

Lovely stuff Nelson, unusual looking wagons always look cool!

Thanks gents, I'll keep you posted as she progresses so. I picked her up on EBay a while ago Jonathan, they were kits made by the McGowan brothers in Monck Place. As Pat says Tyrconnel do a nice one that's reasonable price that would be more detailed than this one. SSM also do a 00 gauge version.

Class 20 chassis for C class or MIR 121
Warbonnet replied to enniscorthyman's question in Questions & Answers
One thing you can do Eamon which would be a cheaper option is replace the Athearn motor with a kato one. Really simple to do, direct fit, and they transform the running qualities. You can buy them direct off the katousa.com website usually and cost about 45 dollars including shipping. I have a number stock piled for my Athearn locos. Just a thought. -
Something Irish for a change! An ancient Leinster Models O Gauge MGWR J26 tank kit. My first stab at soldering a kit together. I've had some invaluable tutoring and assistance from the lads in the MRSI. Did the running plate and most of the body so far. The kit itself is a bit basic and rough and plenty of cleaning up/detailing will be needed but I'm enjoying it so far. The body still hasnt been soldered to the plate below as I still have to add the boiler etc, but you get the idea.

Pressure vent (non air con) mark 2s are needed.

Having had a spin on the ETR 500 down to Florence they are seriously impressive trains to travel on. Happily sped along in comfort at 150 mph and were a lot nicer and smoother than our ICRs (which I do rate as a good train).

Sure there's a kit for them already! http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3295-Southern-Pride-Models-offering-Mark-III-International-Conversion-Kits

Termini is something else, huge! A bitch to take good pics in though. Was there myself in April, hope you enjoyed!
-
Fair enough, your money and kit and it's up to you what you want to do. I'd still get the book though. Great guide through the process. Best of luck!
-
okay, I would recommend maybe starting with something a little more basic, like SSM brake van to get practicing with soldering. Even before that practice soldering with some scrap pieces of brass, even the frets from the Maedb kit. Also, I would recommend getting this book it's old but very good http://www.amazon.com/Etched-Loco-Construction-Iain-Rice/dp/090686786X I'm using it as I find my feet with building etched kits. I know you're eager to build an 800 kit but I would practice on something a bit more simple first.
