    As you can see 001 is under a bit of pressure with the 11 cements on the incline. As I don't have any inclines on my layout in the attic she works fine.

    Finally got a chance to upload a bit of video as well from my visit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkZVDr4UTi4&list=UUoUgfyFH9GGyGyc10Go4nYA

    I am glad people like this layout so much.I enjoy my visits to see It every so often, and as my own layout is in bits at the moment I love giving my own rolling stock a run.The owner and builder Paddy -Well done.

    One bit of advise to take is don't buy a DCC controller from a manufacturer who make model trains-Hornby Bachmann.Choose lenz, Powercab or gauge master prodigy. Expensive I know but worth the extra money. I had a dynamis-trouble.

    Glad ye like the photos guys. The headlights are not to bad to wire up Shem. You follow the standard wiring for directional lighting. The main problem I found is light bleed around the headlamp area.I built up a small box of plasticard around the headlamp area and painted it black.It is possible to do the pilot lights as working as well, however I have not gone down this road yet.

    I was down to run my 001 and 11 cement wagons on this nice layout last night. Here are a few photos-

    I got my journal last week and a nice feature on the Castlecomer branch.

    Please do a workbench update Richie. I would love to get one of those overlays too. The older weed spray has some great "last movements" such as The North Kerry in may 1984 with 172 at the helm. New Ross in 1995,Waterford-Ballinacourty 1988, Kingscourt 2002 and I think Foynes in 2001.

    I have knocked off mirrors from the Transits a few times-they are very fragile.Yes some finer chains in the future when I come across them. When I get back to the layout in the attic(its in bits at the mo)I will use a proper backdrop,although the outdoor photos do show more detail and any flaws:doh:

    Nice photos Tommy.Such a nice station.

    Just finished 4 IFM cement wagons,so I will have a nice rake of ten. I weathered one wagon a bit,so delighted with them,now to get the layout going (again) in the attic. I finished off the short wheel base an post transit (SSM decals). The ESB transit is by "Model Shop" with a few ladders I added myself from the young lads broken die-cast fire engines.

    Super video and UTA stock looking good.
  18. enniscorthyman
    Very nice.

    Another livery difference is the wiper on the window behind the driver.I am not sure when they were removed or if they lasted into Supertrain livery.
  20. enniscorthyman
    Very nice Noel.I would love a railtour with mk3s-hard to think it will never happen again. The SF EGV is nice too,and I would like to get a super train mk3 set at some stage having seen yours Noel.

    God the wallet is still recovering from the 071s,and I would like 077 as well as one CIE livery.That said the 121s are a Very nice prospect.Such a nice sight when double headed.

    As I had lots of spare unused prestwin parts,that why I had a go at building a bubble as cheaply as possible,only Sean you will have only one ladder that comes with the prestwin kit,but you do need two ladders for the bubble.

    A Mate who is handy at wood turning did a batch for me.

    I got a delivery of 10 prestwin units so these will be used on my cement bubbles. I plan to build 10 first and finish off the last few at so other stage with a total of 15.I built my own pipe area with some brass wire and a part from the prestwin kit.Its not quite right when compared to the MIR bubble,but I am happy with it. I got a couple of these Dapol rtr 11 ton chassis which will be used on my IFM cements.Although not quite as good in detail as the prestwin chassis,they run very well and have NEM pockets. I put this signal together with bits left over from SSM kits.

    Good luck with the build,and let us know how you are getting on with it. Eamonn
