Next for me is plough van which in the process of the roof finally getting a bit of Glue.I have 3 tankers to finish off as well. The 121 has annoyed me for ages as the Painting needs to be touched up along with sorting some sort of chassis.I have a class 20 chassis that could come into use, any ideas for it for a 121 or C class?.

Keep up the good work. And yes, bench needs roughing up.
-
Love that viaduct.
-
The Park Royals look great.Black and tan livery is super.
-
That's very impressive work Nelson, Detail is super, well done.

From speaking to Gerry about his MIR 121s there is simply not enough room in the body for a speaker, mainly because of the gear towers and height of the motor and twin fly wheels used on the Athearn SW 1500 chassis that were normally used on the MIR 121 body's.Obviously it would great to use the 141 sound chip in the 121 body, and hope any future MM 121 loco will have room for a speaker. I am not sure as regards any US switchers that might have sound on board that might fit the MIR 121.

Well holy flying ballast plough vans- Finally got a baby boy this morning. Thanks for all the good wishes. -
Thanks Gerry, I will have to give the entire ballast Train a run on Ballybeg soon.
-
Cheers Jim bo, would love to see photos of your build.Building these kits at your own pace is the main thing.
-
You did a great job on it, tasty.
-
It's a very nice photo and a nice livery.

Nearly finished my second ballast plough van.I had to sort the roof antenna on the first van as I made a bags of it first time around.As can be seen the roof has not been glued on the second van yet as I need to get proper glue that won't cause any clouding from super glue like what happened on the first van.Still a bit of touching up and weathering to do.
-
That's a fine job.
-
My 187 had the chassis lugs taken off as well as all speaker parts that were originally in the loco.I can't say I would fancy taking the speaker out of the housing altogether, although it would save on the work to clear out this area.
-
Noel I just used the standard bass enhanced speaker with the back taken off as I was having trouble getting the cab to fit properly. Some great info on CVs cheers.
-
I paid a quick visit to Ballybeg a few nights ago and a got a bit of video of my own 187 with realdrive and Gerrys 088 with realdrive.The coasting feature can be seen near the end of the video.088 has a bass reflex speaker in her,and quite a blast especially from the horn sounds.
-
That's a fantastic job Tom.
-
Looks a great kit, and best of luck with it. Do keep us up to date on progress.
-
You can get them rtr, but as a kit no chassis. you get decals and all the bits.Prestwin chassis will fit as well.
-
The IFM cement drop side and curtain. I bought them as kits,drop side 22 euro and curtain side 18 euro without chassis. I bought the Dapol rtr chassis which are very handy with the nem coupling and run very well.The dapol prestwin chassis will fit as well if you want it to look better.The MIR kits are probably more detailed.

I will post up a few photos of them George when I get home.
-
Beautiful machines.
-
The IFM cements are nice George. I bought mine as kits.

Thanks Des, as you can see some of the roof painting and weathering needs to be touched up. She's a lovly little model to build.
