I have been working on improving the recently released Murphy models Mk2D set, Firstly I removed the roof,added passengers, then interior lights and lastly replaced the tension lock couplings with the Westhill wagon works buckeye magnetic couplings. Delighted with the results

A new arrival on Ashburton grove is this limited edition large logo class 50- 50049 locomotive. Always liked the large logo livery on the 50s.

A chance enquiry at the Heljan stand at Model rail Scotland last weekend about a possible rerun of the oil tank wagons led to the gentleman opening a drawer and producing four tankers-needless to say I was delighted and a purchase was made….

Hi Derek Thanks for taking the time to view all of the pages….the layout on page one was constructed back in 2006…and was a learning curve for me…a subsequent marriage and house move meant that Tara junction no1 was scrapped and the mistakes learned from it were corrected and the present layout was built during 2014/15, I did take photos of the layout back then and they were posted to a former railway modeller forum now non existent from what I can see.

Found another MIR two axle wagon kit and finished it off as an ex works barrier wagon for the rear of the oil train,complete with red tail lamps,coupling and vacuum brake pipe. A short oil wagon transfer trial is seen in Lakeview freight yard behind 018.
-
The wagon looks well with the keg cages, Having worked the real Guinness trains back in the day may I ask is there under frame detail ? , e.g brake cylinders and brake gear rigging,the under frame looks very bare without it,see the attached photo for details-otherwise well done Owen-it’s a badly needed wagon for my era of modelling.

Added the “No Smoking” window labels to the MM Mk2s earlier-next up will be the fitting of interior lights.

Sounds like a 201 sound chip in the 121? What a a re-engined 121 would have sounded like.

That’s the EGV-essential for providing lighting and heating to the set.
