Thanks Robert for that. Good to have the dimensions and I'd forgotten about the tactile part. Have to do something to show that. I was hoping there might be some images but I've been reworking the screen grabs I have and they seem to be working out OK now and might just be the business. Slow process but will pass for weathered images. 8118

Sandwith Street Water Tower Enjoyed photocrafting this model. The photos show the result and the video shows the journey. Sorry it's a bit long. https://youtu.be/Tr_6oIW4Yp0

A meeting at Erne Terrace Rear NET ammonia train and a fertilizer train meet on the embankment at Erne Terrace Rear. Should have uploaded these at the weekend with the video.

I had that question when putting my consist together. When I was running in the two locos I realised that 125 needed to be at speed step 62/63 on an NCE PowerCab to keep up with the 131 running at speed step 60. I take it that at reduced speed steep 31 on 125, then 30 would be corresponding on 131. That's hardly worth worrying about and half a drop of oil might sort that, but it's too early to go there. Using NCE the advise is to put the faster loco first and I've done that. So, I set up the consist as per the NCE manual and all works fine (I didn't need to change the directional CV bit as the NCE system asks if the loco is running forward or reverse and sets up the consist accordingly. I have a video record of them running in a consist at speed notch 50 and slowing to stop and the running is nice and smooth. You can view that at https://youtu.be/KXydwaGbzes Hope that helps.

Thanks for that FL. Poor eyes are losing it.

Saturday 21 November 2020. New additions to the fleet at WR&A. Be very, very gentle and careful when lifting your model locomotive from its protective packaging.

George, Found this in the IRM Stocking Murphy Models 121 Locomotives! topic, Page 6, September 19. Text is, Latest news from Murphy Models is that the CIE black’n’tan (MM0125, MM0131) and IR 121s (MM0127, MM0130, MM0133) will ship at the end of Sept. The CIE Supertrain (MM0126, MM0132) and IE (MM0124, MM0129, MM0134) will ship at the end of Oct. Almost there now.

Tomo, I don't know what the situation is now. I bought when Tom had a website but that's taken down since. I see a contact email on the Facebook page so, maybe start there. Perhaps someone on this site might know more. There is a short thread about closing the website at Hope this helps. Billycan

https://www.facebook.com/Irish-Freight-Models-1252098201500518/ Tomo, The ammonia tankers are resin/3D print kits produced by Tom Brady of Irish Freight Models and the barriers are RTR stock also from Tom. I bought them in 2016, assembled and painted the six kits myself and I'm very pleased with the result. They’re not fine scale models but they are very robust. They are a great weight and great runners, are wobble free, are excellent couplers, and don’t derail. They produce a very realistic clickity-clack as they pass over some rail joints. I have lowered the sound of the loco so that I can hear everything. I modelled with the NET logo, and the kit included the IFI logo for modellers of that period. Just one decal left to be fitted (Tanker number panel below the NET Logo) and the set of parts ready for final assembly The same set of parts loosely assembled

Enjoyed crafting this little hip roof for the signal cabin. You might enjoy this short video record of how it was done. https://youtu.be/vinkLXVFPCk

Bought a small mixed fleet of road vehicles for WR&A late on Friday evening from Mark's Models. Everything closed for the bank holiday weekend and delivery received today, i.e., next working day. It includes some of the Irish models. A nice early surprise, great service and well pleased with the goods. Support your local retailer and keep modelling.

THE TURRET STAIR GRAFFITI Five apprentices – Squirtcan and Mugs McInTaggart with spray cans in hand, the Brown twins and Spiffy Quinn, all from the Fine Decoration and Paint Shop at WR&A have tried their hand at graffiti painting and ghost imaging at THE ARCHES. They are seen here surveying their handywork. They call the main image A Meeting on a Turret Stair, styled after the much loved Irish masterpiece. The grey ghost, who they paint as a ghost image, is in the process of using his own method for getting rid of all graffiti.

Hand of god modelling.

Thanks for all the comments. Have been asked if there are any more. Well, that was one of two. It was a PowerPoint presentation converted to video with some video clips added to see how that worked. The second is some video minutes of a mock-up scene edited into one video to see how that works. Uses 3 trains, A DART, ammonia tankers and some Mark's Models coaches. Pleased with how it ends.

Would the folks at New Irish Lines be able to help?

Enjoy the video
