  1. Looks very impressive. I shouldn't get one but I am more and more tempted by the 3 car set. I know this model will excel on DCC but if possible could the video show some of the functionality when it's run on DC only?
  2. Gorgeous work Mol, can't wait to see it progressing.
  3. Mine arrived today as well, a lovely quirky little wagon, great detailing. Couldn't wait to get them on the layout, smooth runners as well. Thanks IRM for doing another run of these. I'd buy more container flats and ballast and gypsum ore wagons as well 20251022_215536.mp4
  4. Thanks Signal, that's a really detailed how to video, just what I was looking for.
  5. Thanks Paul, I like your answer best cause it's the easiest to model! So I might try to model: no lights in side lamps and one red tail light at rear, on left or right. I have some of the IRM tail lights which would work well even though they are a mite too large. Or if I understood west cork properly even those newer tail lights were sometimes used on brake vans.
  6. Thanks @Westcorkrailway. I know the tail lamps were there but were there usually 1 or 2 tail lamps used? If the train was reversing would they change from red to white? Did the side lamps mirror the colour of the tail lamps? Were side or tail lamps more commonly used?
  7. Hello all, I'm looking for info on the placement and usage of tail lamps on cie brake vans. I'm making SSM's lovely brass kit and considering adding working lamps, tail or side lamps. I might either use IRMs wand operated lamp kit( a bit too large for a brake van probably) for tails or if I'm feeling more ambitious try to make my own from leds, resistor and capacitator. On that note if anyone knows any useful threads online for adding led lights to any brake van that could be a great help too. Here is my effort so far next to CK prints lovely RTR version.
  8. Photos of Moyasta in the Irish Times today. In pictures: the ghost trains of west Clare https://www.irishtimes.com/photography/2025/08/30/in-pictures-the-ghost-trains-of-west-clare/
  9. And here it is running at silly speeds over some points. 20250816_115521.mp4
  10. Got CK's brake van on the layout today, lovely model, great smooth runner, really happy with it. Delighted to have a prototypical rake van finally. Thanks Enda. I want the red oxide one now!
  11. I recieved one of Enda's vans yesterday and am really looking forward to running it on the layout once I get home from holidays at the weekend. Especially after reading this review!
  12. Thanks for posting Keith, I was delighted to pick up a pair of plough vans.
  13. Great layout, good luck with the extension. I love watching trains cross a bridge myself so look forward to seeing your progress.
  14. Your layout looks great! Especially for a first effort too. Thanks for sharing the bush making tutorial, it'll come in handy for my layout as well. And you've built a helix! Quite a challenge to get working from what I've heard. Look forward to more posts.
  15. Well said.
