Warbonnet

Funnily enough I will be exploring/researching that particular avenue in the next week or so for someone. Will report back!

This is a kit John is developing himself David. I can tell you that his etches are superb. It's worth looking at this workbench thread to see his heating van under construction http://www.irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2427-Georges-Workbench?p=44719#post44719 4mm scale I know, but worth a look!

Thanks Minister, I shall go and do some research!

Top work George. Must clear a space for a work bench and get cracking on mine!

Nice job, would hope he's not getting out of the Irish end of the hobby.

Cheers Minister, I'm guessing black all over liverywise? Did they get a snail on the tender?

Can't wait to see how these build up John. What duties would these have finished out on in CIE days and where would they have been based by then?

Looks like the bogies of a DB BR151 electric loco to me, probably an old Roco model http://www.haertle.de/Modelleisenbahn/Spur+H0/Lokomotiven+Spur+H0/ESU+31031+E+Lok+BR+151+080+blau+beige+Engineering+Edition+AC+DC+Spur+H0.html While it would be super smooth runner the bogies and wheelbase would be way off. The whitemetal body of the Q kit would add sufficient weight (coupled with the all wheel drive) to help it be a super hauler compared to a resisn shell of the Silver Fox kit with a Hornby motor bogie.

Correct. While we truly value cotributions such as those great pics we like to keep things as tightly on topic as much as possible as it helps finding things for reference later on. For example, I spent 2 hours looking for an old thread the other night as the information I was looking for was in a topic completely removed to the subject matter I was after. It's to help everyone in the long run. The pics have been moved to a new topic in a relevant area. We would ask all members to think 'is this relevant to the topic title or would this be better getting a new topic all on its own?' Anyway, pictures now here http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2877-final-years-of-the-mk3s

I second this!

Top notch Dave, looks super!

Athearn just announced SD70 with flared rads, will have to try hard to resist them!

Top work Des, I reckon these will fly out the door for you. The tanker looks huge!

Nice model Gareth, Canadian modellers doing really well with the wide cab EMDs these past couple of years. I believe Bowser will be showing off their GMD Sd40-2 at the big show this weekend.

Just goes to show there are always more treasures out there to find Dave, keep raiding those attics!

Just the one from me. 141 operating manual

You'd be having sleepless nights about it

Bachmann do a well wagon but I have a feeling it's too short for that. http://www.ehattons.com/38617/Bachmann_Branchline_33_879A_45_Ton_bogie_well_wagon_in_LNER_grey_with_boiler_load/StockDetail.aspx

Stunning!

Wrenneire, Garfield, Kirley and myself paid a visit to Downpatrick yesterday in some truly horrific weather and enjoyed a guided tour of the facilities and stock from the great bunch of volunteers there. As most things were in dark sheds and tight spaces taking pics was difficult. Anyway, pick of the bunch are now on my Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/photos/77496544@N07/

Looks fab on the layout, was lucky to have a glimpse of her in person today and it looks amazing. Good to see you today Kieran.

Nice one! Should be nice and heavy to haul a decent load.

Care to elaborate?

only $140 odd on Amazon! Thankfully someone rode to my rescue. Thanks for the help everybody!

Cheers man but has since been sourced! I will hit them up for future book sales (and the IRRS, who I need to ask many many questions!)
