Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I've followed the instructions to the letter.
-
112, 143 and 192. I'm having some issues with 112. I don't think one of the bogies is picking up at all. The wheels are turning on both bogies
-
192 and 143 on p/way duties.
-
The track is now fully wired.
-
With track testing proving successful, 143 was tasked with removing disused panels and sleepers from the site. Can someone send me their ballast rake... I have a job for it.
-
Track laid, dropper wires in place. Hope it works!
-
They match the rest of the stock well anyway.
-
I've now converted all of my stock to Hunt Couplings. The Cravens need the standard type while the IRM 4 wheeled stock need either the close coupled (stepped down) or a combination of close and ultra close couplings.
-
Lads, I've looked at a lot of threads on this topic and I'm still unsure if I can go ahead and start soldering... The plan was to use the heavier wire as a bus and the lighter wire for droppers. Can anyone confirm if this is suitable? I'm using an NCE Power Cab which supplies the track with 15V.

I originally painted these figures 8 or 9 years ago. The paint was starting to chop off and I thought I could do better now so I stripped them down and repainted them. Tried to paint the uniforms to resemble ones of IÉ and then applied a wash over them.

My punt paid off too.
-
A small bit of progress made. Some underlay laid to be followed by track tomorrow and hopefully some power.

Just starting on this small 6'x2' layout. It will basically be 2 mainlines, 2 freight sidings and a siding for locomotives to refuel. I want it to resemble a freight yard similar to those found in Mullingar, Longford, Carlow and Kilkenny with a typical corrugated shed that would be seen at these locations.

Not the tidiest job on the pallets but it'll do.
-
086 was the last in the silver and black livery. It went in for overhaul in Aug/Sept 2018
-
The pallets have been reassembled and repainted. I've reduced the depth of the kegs, drilled a hole in the top of each to make them more realistic and repainted them.
-
I found these MIR beer keg pallets today. They're in quite bad condition in comparison to the first page of this thread. The idea would be to get these back to a good standard for the release of the IRM keg wagons.

Cement bubble kit and container flat parts now sold. Cement bubble tank, inlet and gangways still available.
-
The cement bubble kit. €15 The makings of a cement bubble tank. €10 Container flat parts. €10 €30 plus post for the lot.
-
I'd imagine around €5. I'll upload a photo of all of the parts so you can decide.
-
I have no instructions for the cement bubble so you'd need to be able to work from photos. The other bag are just parts.
-
I have mist of an MIR cement bubble kit (there's a buffer missing) and some parts for their container flats (4 bogies, some buffers, vacuum pipes, decals). Im sure someone would make use of them. The container flat bits are €10 plus post. The cement bubble kit is €15 plus post. €20 plus post for the lot.
-
It's a bit of a hybrid... I needed it to look as it would in the 90s.
-
All sold.
