    Nice work Des,more power to your elbow.

    It's nice alright and I wish It was mine. I bet the real A39 does not have this problem with traction.

    I got some goodies from Des in the post today,so these should keep me out of Divilment for a while. Fair play to des for such great kits. I have 5 oil tankers and got the brass detail kit for them. The Wickham Inspection car is the one I am looking forward to most.

    A bit of video of A39 with new traction tires. [video=youtube;bwSUbrgIj-k]

    Sorry I cant seem to show a39 on video as photobucket wont load it from my i pod.Will try it via youtube tomorrow.

    I put the new traction tires over the Hornby ones and tested them on the incline of the deeps layout with 12 ballast and two plough Vans and found she got up ok but did slow a bit.However the incline on the deeps is not as steep as on yours Kirley.I will try and post video later.

    Wow,stunning is all I can say.D&M have done a great job. Viaduct looking well there Stephen as well,and could well be a shot of Craigmore Viaduct.

    The Park Royals were a stable diet on the Rosslare line for many years.A very comfy coach too from what I remember as the Commonwealth bogies were well suited to secondary lines.

    I will check when out in the shed again Rich. I did compare them and the rtr and prestwin are same Dimensions,but the prestwin seems to be more correct for a Irish angle.

    Some work that I did in the last few weeks. I had a go at weed spray tanks,while using bits that I have lying around,mostly from a large amount of prestwin chassis leftover parts.The tank itself looks fine but I think is a bit too small in scale,and the walkway on top is a bit wonky. The Bedford SS schoolbus is on the workbench at the moment. I am waiting for some parts for my ballast wagons and have new brass hand wheels plus bearing inserts for the prestwin axels.

    Here are a few photos of the IFM kits I did myself.From what I remember the cover side cement is 18 euro while the metal side is 22 euro without chassis. These were built and painted by me,but can by ordered RTR.

    I will get a link when I get to the laptop later.

    I bought 6 cement wagon kits from him last year and found them to be top notch.I was given the option of a dapol chassis as well to buy,or I could have used my own prestwin chassis.I have more cement wagons on order and found IFM very good to deal with,and always got a email reply when needed.My work bench shows the wagons in their finished state.I used the Dapol rtr chassis for them and find the nem sockets very handy for putting in my kadees

    I saw some rare photos from a steam railtour in March 63 in Borris station and rarely seen Ballywilliam Station.Just love going through these photos.
  17. enniscorthyman
    The Park Royal might be available as a kit as well.I will get some in the future.

    Simply fab layout.Did you try two extra tires on the A class or are you happy with extra weight.
  20. enniscorthyman
    God that is a nice job,well done.
  21. enniscorthyman
    There you are,spooky. Did you have a listen to Klaus-Shadowlands CD.I bet it made your toes open and shut with delight;)
  22. enniscorthyman
    Have this on the I pod and love it. Turn out the light and have a listen to the Master of dark Ambient- Klaus Schulze- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsAamHuyj2w

    There is a difference all right,but bass reflex would be the Real deal,far more bang for your buck.I have seen a bass reflex in the Murphy 071,but this takes a fair bit of work and the speaker will protrude into the cab.My a39 has a BR speaker and it really suits the a class engine sound and very pound without distortion.
  24. enniscorthyman
    I have a bass enhanced speaker in my 201.Its easy enough,when you remove the old speaker you will need to look for + and - on the PCB to solder in wires for new speaker.there is not as much room in a 201 body for a larger speaker than you think.The main PCB takes up a lot of space and only for that a bass reflex could have been used.If you go back to my work bench to page one,I think I have some photos there of the speaker in the 201 body.

    Very nice,and nice layout.
