Warbonnet

Tom just outlined what to do above.

Amazing stuff, the textures you get is a true testament to the possibilities of modelling with card and combining it with other materials. Looking forward to more updates!

stunning!

Is that all? Sure that's a contender for model of the year!

The Railroad 31 would have the same 5 poll motor of the Railroad Deltic. It is a smooth runner but without traction tyres lacking in pulling power. The modern 31 they do is excellent running wise although expensive. However, some have had chassis rot and expansion issues. As a result you can sometimes buy the guts cheap on eBay for a few quid and scratch a chassis for it. I bought one a while ago to slap into a Lima 31. Atlas chassis is usually cheaper and an even better runner with less work to do so it would always be my choice. That's just my opinion though.

They're all going to be compromises, but it would be better than a Railroad Deltic.

Nice garratt! I remember Seamus Graham was selling them when times were good. Was sorely tempted by one I have to say.

Enough of this pricking around with powering your A class. Buy an Atlas/Kato HO Scale RSD 4/5 and slap it underneath. It'll be the best runner in your fleet.

Let's not get into some sort of price debate gents. Paudie has posted what he would like for the stock, let the market decide and leave it there. Cheers.

I have reposted this topic for user 'Hutchiebus' instead of using the blog as it's not a blog and it may get more help here. Please post replies on this thread. Thank you.

No problem Noel, just makes it easier to find things when people are researching in the future.

Let's keep these bits on eBay on the eBay thread. Thanks.

This topic has been moved to a more relevant area of the forum as it hasn't got anything to do with Irish outline modelling. Thank you.

At least it's a rigid structure....

I guess try the place you bought it from first. But no harm in sending an email to explain the situation.

Might be worth contacting paddy Murphy via his website. He carries spare parts.

Depends on which loco it is, what kind of chip is in it, condition, all detail parts included, is it boxed etc. Maybe list what you have and someone could give you a guide price or look at what similar fetch on EBay.

Still looks unfinished to me. Out and about on the liner today heading to Mayo. Note new lights... 8209, Portarlington, 02-12-2014 by MidlandDeltic, on Flickr 8209, Portarlington, 02-12-2014 by MidlandDeltic, on Flickr 8209, Portarlington, 02-12-2014 by MidlandDeltic, on Flickr

Lovely job it has to be said. Thanks for sharing Noel.

I just throw mine on a concrete floor and then glue it back together afterwards. Isnt that what everyone does!?

I think this is a great idea, we do have some good experts as members who I'm sure would be happy to share their knowledge.

If you join their page you will be able to see the discussion. That's also if they allow you to join of course.

Great to have her there Shem, though to hear her stretch her legs on the Dublin - Cork line again would be something else. Maybe one day in the distant future! Mind you if I had my way I'd be digging Maedb out of Cultra too!
