I received my Brakevan today and I’m well chuffed with it. It’s worth buying just to see what 3D printing is capable of pulling off! Very protective style packaging plenty of space for 21mm axels behind my rather crude bulleid wagons the amount of cab detail is superb. Although I am going to have to get used to the removable roof! Again you’d hardly know it’s 3D printed I’m not sure if these are for sale anymore. but I’d recommend it anyways. These are a superb wagon

A thread like this was needed, especially those who intend to scratch-build/3D print/kit bash a type of coach to fit the Irish narrative, which with almost exponential growth of the 1950/60s era of Irish modelling as of late is essential for any modellers wonder what ran in the area they have chosen to model

Ooooooh I’ve never seen them before. I want a green one

Will one of the DCC functions for the crossely decoder be the sound of the engine breaking down….

The famous bagdad-Ballyhaunis tour

Is it an easy kit to build?

LMS 48ft Coach ratio kits they do look the buisness

I consulted Popeye’s workbench and indeed he does have them listed I also found these yolks which could serve as inspiration?

A new roof is an interesting suggestion. I wonder how easily that can be done though it might be another job for the 3D Printer although again, would have to be a good printer because cheap ones don’t do curves all to well

Indeed those railtec transfers are a great job 5 (or more) coaches for 25 ish euro if you Include transport fees ect. same said for my Adams radial tank, would not have been possible if it weren’t for the extra bits of the Bandon tank transfer sheet from SSM and yes. I believe SSM does seem GSR chest trasfers

They should really describe on the letter they send you itself what your paying for. I got a customs letter in the post about a week ago for what I thaught was for Oxford wagons I already had received (hence I ignored it)…..i looked over it just now, and realised that it was for a JM designs Brake can I had pre-ordered in almost 2021! And had forgotten about it….the only reason I copped it was the tracking ID ended in “NZ” (New Zealand) All the letter offers you in terms of info of the item is the value of the item…..which wasn’t enough for me to realise what it was. It’s more then possible since once you input the information into the website, it says “MODEL TRAIN PARTS” or something along those lines and the origin “JM DESIGN TRAINS” or something. is it that hard to print this onto the customs letter

Great job in these coaches, the 1st coach has a near identical livery to the ones in my Rosslare coach transformation (probobly same paint and transfers) Very soon, from a small pack of transfers and paint, you could have a huge variety of coaches in a variety of liveries

can’t wait for this livery variant of the 201 gets released in model form

They did that around the time they started changing the logos to the new “origami” IR logo as some may call it , the undercarriage would turn this colour anyway due to grime and dirt, probably just a practical move and makes the loco look much better

MGWR J26. One of the most versitile locos in Ireland. And one I intend to eventually make in 00 gauge

The baldwins were right awkward yolks, outside cylinders and bells. The CBSC we’re going yank long before before CIE!! Here is one at the ballinhassig aerial ropeway siding shunting bricks, even the baldwins outlived the ropeway

Which CBSC loco is in the backlog?

You wouldn’t……would you

Once again, no one called it!!!

Funnily enough we are actually doing probability chances of that happening are 1/1 just 1 minute now

The last time it was a live video from Hornby magazine, but this time it’s difference since it’s not a joint accurascale announcement

The math teacher will be wondering why I’m staring at my “calculator” at 1 o clock

I don’t think a single person could have predicted NIR mk2’s last time where credit is due watch as IRM release Something like the 8200 class dart so once again we will be all wrong. Yes please

Good idea….if much of the stuff theorised is announced…..many remaining A classes will become more attractive to buy
