Now that is a impressive line up.

Love the train care depot Noel,layout looking really good.

Finaly got around to finishing this girl.She has SSM A class detail brass parts and a Lima class 50 chassis.I am happy enough with the model apart from painting by hand the white area above windscreen which was a bugger. Handy enough to paint as not to much to do only I probably should have done a white under coat and mask off at the start for the headlight area as Anthony had suggested to me:eek:. Now the the big problem is the lima chassis is crap and a poor runner, and the new sound chip wont work properly as I would say I need to stick on more contacts on the bogies for better connection.

Love the cement works and your cement stock. Great job on the attic as well.

She is sd9 that came with sound and speaker on board. I can't think of the make but It is very smooth and hence I used it as I don't have a speaker for my a39.The athearn Sd9 is not a patch on this chassis.

Just got the start up.

No as far as I know He has not got them for sale yet. I just have one horn sound,but I can get it upgraded when it's ready.

I sure will Seamus.My little one was making noise the last time I was recording,so later i will get back to it.

I got a sample A39 sound chip a few weeks back and here is a quick demo on a SD9 chassis with the speaker in the fuel box. As this is a sample the chip has one short horn blast. I hope I do the sound some justice as I dont have a layout to give it a good blast and as you can see I have to go backwards and forwards on the short section of Ballybeg that I have.

Nice find there Riche.Paddy Neville was the driver for many years of the weed spray train because of his extensive route knowledge of lines such as the North Kerry,Ballinacourty etc. I would love to see drawings myself,and what donors could be used for it.

John,This line inspired me to really get into Irish railways back in 1992 as its Level crossings,Tunnells,Viaducts and along with the scenery got me hooked,and the modeling side got me thinking. I took a photo yesterday near ballyvoyle viaduct and just as the line turns to show the coast line and a level crossing and keepers house. Stunning views from here,and if I get a chance I will post photo later. Seamus,one should always have a Baby GM in ones pocket as you never know when you need it.

As I have a few days off this week I thought it would be nice to visit my favourite railway Waterford-Ballinacourty.I am including a collection of Weed killer train photos taken by David Parks during 1985 and 86,along with some of my own photos taken yesterday and back in 1993-96.The line was lifted from mid 90s till late 90s and I found a lot a places impossible to photograph now due to the overgrown conditions.The line once formed the former Mallow-Waterford which closed in 1967,however the line reopened for the Quigley Magnesite works near Dungarvan in 1970 untill it closed in July 1982.The only workings over the line were weed killer trains ( the last ran in 1988) and rail recovery trains. The last movement was in May 1990 with 146 and EM50 ran to Ballinacourty on 6th and the 9th of May. Kilmeaden station. Approach to Kildermody LC Unknown locations-possibly near Carrolls Cross. Carrolls cross Station. Kilmacthomas Station. Currabaha LC west of Kilmacthomas. Durrow Viaduct. Ballyvoyle Tunnell. Ballyvoyle Viaduct. Ballinacourty Loop.

Glad you are enjoying DCC Noel,best of luck.

Woderfull photos there.I love the double headed J15s in Enniscorthy station.

Thats a great video,thanks for sharing.

I had all windows down Shem and had the wind flowing through my hair.Another problem is a cloud of dust follows me around on farmers lanes and when You stop the lot comes in the window into eyes etc. But I won't complain as I am outdoors.

God I was roasted in me post van today as the Temp hit 26.Still it's most welcome as the wet and cold days are far more numerous.

Should I get rid of AGV after I install MSE.They could clash I persume.

Brill advice there lads and thanks.The Laptop is much better now,and much faster. It showed up trogan horse.I use the AVG free antivirus.

Thanks for that guys,I am no expert when it comes to Computers.

I am having performance problems with Dell laptop Which has vista.a friend told me it probably malware as When I check CPU performance it does spike up. Any recommendations for free malware removal tools.

Very impressive work,especially the cement works.

You did a great job there kirley.

Sweet-very sweet.I love the weed spray trains either current or older.
