I'd never even heard of this derailment! Great thread, well written and class photos too:)

I have it cut out and tucked away in a book:)

we should do a similar scene down here....imagine a mob protesting at the budget tomorrow outside the Dail - anyone have !:76 scale rotten tomatos and eggs?[ATTACH=CONFIG]9626[/ATTACH]

Haha:)

Another quick update lads. The slow runnnig was requested:)

Seán.

great thread sean! where did you get the signs from? did you design them yourself or copy them?

Thanks! I just typed them in a text box on a Word document on my PC. It only took me ten minutes to do all this. Except for the 'Working for a great service' poster which I copied directly from the IÉ website and the whistle boards which I got from http://www.railsigns.co.uk/overseas/ireland2/ireland2.html.

The signs with Blackcut on them are for my uncle's layout by the way:)

Hi all, some pretty basic stuff to start off my workbench. No elaborate building or scratchbuilt locos, just a step-by-step guide of how I make signs for my layout:)

Now a few images of the LED display I am making for my station.

Broithe hit the nail on the head when he said Genius! I always imagined building the whole Northern Line but never like that. I'd love to build Donabate bordered by two estuaries, the beautiful strecthes of coast at the Lady's Stairs and Gormanston Airfield, a busy Drogheda station with Enteprrise,s Tara Mines and Cement, then Boyne Viaduct and beyond!

Thanks for sharing, very interesting.

I have one.

More like Seán the engine;)

Some recent shots from the Northern Line lads, including my first shot of the Tara Mines since August.

First off, 074 on the unladen Taras. This pased at 14:15. Unfortunately 074 was vandalised the following week.

Next up NIR 209 on the Enteprise. Some mucky boxes (I believe) visible near the beginning.

Finally a couple of 29000s and an ICR empty stock.

What about this fantastic video from Clonmel. The best of the lot in my opinion:)

And a meagre contribution by myself;)

Interesting, I really must do some filming in Nenagh at some stage. Are there extra services being put on?

Paul, the dapol site sells only 9, 10, and 11' chassis on their own. The prestwin chassis has a 12' wheelbase, which is spot on for anything irish. Are they the same-ish price?

So your saying I buy these wagon kits and use the chassis for the cement wagons? That's grand, Thanks.

Sean

 

Go to the dapol web site , they sell chassis separately , there have three different lengths you just need to know which length you need, I have used the mid length one for cement bubbles previously.

 

Hope it helps

Thanks Paul, I will purchase the kits and then see which chassis is right.

Fantastic! Where did you get the rubberised horsehair?

She was hauled to Dublin on Sun. 25/08/13 along with a MkIII Generator Van. I saw it passing Ardgillan at 12:53 but I was too far away to film! I was gutted:(

That's the chappy there Sean. Richie.

 

edit - oops, cheaper variety here.

Thanks but these are actual wagons. I only need a chassis.

Hi all, I am thinking of purchasing some Irish Freight Models bagged cement wagon kits but a chassis is not included in the kit. Can anyone recommend a place for me to buy a suitable chassis?

Seán.

Nice looking layout,like the stone wall at the house,very authentic

Cheers:)

You have done a great job,well done.

Thank you very much.

Fantastic work well done keep it up

Thanks.

Very nice, I like the ballasting and general "lived in" look. Tasty.

Thank you.

Excellent!!!!!

Cheers:)
