Great space you have there.A little fridge for beer and you will be right.

I saw that alright.I suppose the truck driver would not mind 088 in notch 8 as much as we would.

Sweet sound-

Great photos David.

That looks the part.It found it hard to get the beet loads right,and ended up with ballast with a bit of red oxide.

I like the gray livery a lot now. Will have to look at the grab rails on the cabs as they do need to be removed at some stage.enjoy your day George.

I was down at the show today,and very enjoyable as usual. Bought a gray 071 off Shem,and a few other road models. Its only when you see other fab layouts that it can really inspire you to get cracking on your own creation.

Great photos tommy,and nice to see you again..

So this is very much a thing of the past!. Great video Ant.

I love the gray livery-top job.

Great job on the ballasting Sean.

They look fantastic.

Great effort Kieran,that front looks a fecker to get right.

Thanks Murrayyec.I will check out Branchlines. I did order a BB from another UK supplier but ran into problems in that they quite simply would not send out my order- with no explanation.

Indeed its does Stephen-I found it very easy to throw on some weathering powders and a bit of rust,and even though the bubble is hand painted,it was easy to cover up any mishaps as a rough unloved appearance.The grain of the wood helps that way as well.

Thanks for comments Guys.I am was wondering what people thought of my cheap bubble and how a ordinary joe like me could make one that is up to scratch and would it pass off as acceptable. As regards what's next,time to get the finger out and get things done and also I want to finish the SSM Wickham inspection when I can source a 35 Black beetle.

Great Tom,look forward to this build.

Just finished the bubble and I am happy with the result. I know the SSM brass detail would look better,but I just wanted to see how left over parts from the prestwin kit would look like when used with a bit of brass tube and wire. I did a small bit of weathering which helps any dodgy painting. Next on the workbench-IFM LC kit,and cement wagons to do and my ballast train upgrade plus SSM phone box kit.

God,stunning is too small a word.

I remember the Diverted Beet passing through Enniscorthy tunnel, I was delivering a parcel to a house that over looked the tunnel and what a sight-no camera though.

Great photos Shem.

A nice long rake,you did a great job Tom.

I have been meaning to ask this question for ages as the first photo shows my Grandfather John Redmond engine driver on the right,in Ferns Station sometime in the 1920s,while the second photo shows him at Bray loco shed where he was based-he is in the middle of the front three guys, I think someone put a x over him,while the guy at the rear with a x over him is supposed to be from Enniscorthy. I know nothing about Irish Steam locos and would love to know what sort of loco is that in Ferns Station?and is it the same as the loco at Bray Station.And if anyone can identify the loco,is there a close model. And now everyone knows where my obsession with Irish railways comes from. John Redmond died in 1929 when my Dad was three.From what I have been told his normal run was to Enniscorthy from Bray.It was in the local Railway Hotel while having spuds one day that he met my Grandmother-the rest is history. Thanks. Eamonn.

Oh so sweet David.

Shes a super job.
