    Personally I don't think models can be weathered properly in the factory. So I'd like to buy a clean loco and have the option to have it weathered later. I haven't had the nerve to weather any of my stuff... Yet What is weathering? It's not just a bit of dust along the train, it's rust, paint peeling, fading, fly splatter, exhaust staining, oil staining, grease, track dirt and much more.

    How far off are the other 121s from landing? Are we talking weeks or months?

    I've just seen these on Flickr.

    IRM has 017, 036, 048 and 054 planned for IR liveries. Does anyone know if any of these made it to 94/95 in real life?

    112 on the Guinness kegs tonight.

    I think I used tile grout for the hard standing. The ballast is Woodland Scenics medium grade gray blend as a base and fine grade gray blend over that.

    The silver headlights are odd too. But they still look great. I'll hopefully pick up 129 and 131.

    I've finished the scenic part of the layout.

    This weekend's work. 10no. 60 keg cages for my IRM flats.

    080 arrives at Dianghlasáil Yard with a keg train. 220 later arrives in the loop with a keg and bulk cement train. The kegs are uncoupled and shunted into the yard.

    Shale wagons are similar but they're airbraked. They'd have been in operation between Kilmastulla and Limerick Cement Works.

    So I tried to make a wire loop around the back of these rail ramps so that they can be slotted onto the lamp irons of wagons as in real life. Apparently its just not possible. It's a gigantic pain to actually get to the point where you glue the wire to the lamp and it just doesn't stick or at least is too delicate to last.

    080 on a bulk cement.

    NIR 208 pauses with a bulk cement train.

    That's the one. I've had varying results but it all looks good... From a distance.

    Thanks very much. 12mm is way too long. I tried it and had problems with getting it to stand as the fibres are just too heavy for the cheap applicator I use. Actually Woodland Scenics grass in general is a bit too heavy but its the best looking. I've used a mix. Anything from 2mm to 7mm.

    Some more scenery done.

    The permanent way department received another road railer today. Later seen spreading stone for the new access area to the line.

    The liner is due to arrive at 16:37 but is often up to an hour early.

    I have no choice I had most of the track but everything else had to be sourcesld during lock down. I spent most of the time waiting on materials and I was back at work in Phase 1.
