tom, email sent re signal cabin:)

Got it Seamus, nice one

It's a start;), bogies are mir from the spares box. The old bogies rivets were drilled out and the holes filled in with filler, the buffers are from genesis kits and the bufferbeam built up from plasticard. Next stage is too install a plasticard floor and build up the bulkheads with the supports.

Lots of wonderful stuff on your bench tom, and if the Alien is the worst of it, yer doin all right. Now that you've the beets done, whats next?

It's 60ft long and smells of cut timber:D

Very impressive Tom. A bit head wrecking to do such a large rake, but it's worth it in the end, they look the bizness. How's the "Alien" coming on?

The alien is coming on very well, putting in a nice order with Ssm for some detailing goodies for her tonight.

The last beet was a nightmare and had to be rescued from the bin, not touching another one with a barge pole!!!.

Many thanks for the comments lads, much appreciated

I have quite a few bits left over so I'd be interested.

Well that's the Beets done:banana:

After a week long bath in brake fluid, this is what emerged there was three liveries under the blue!!!. I replaced a few bits on the chassis and it's now running pretty sweet. Will have to put new handrails and the horns will also need to be replaced.

Someone got a right good bargain £26!!!

Great work so far Brian, will be keeping my eye on this one:tumbsup:

For this kind of money I think I'll stick with the newer 201's

The little crossley arrived yesterday, lots of work needed to turn her into 104. The motor is in need of a replacement, thinking of an athearn replacement. Bodywork detailing will be courtesy of ssm c class detailing kit and some ni ssm decals. She ll be hitting the brake fluid bath as soon as possible:)

Very atmospheric and some lovely modelling Eamonn:tumbsup:

Hi Tony,

They were definitely the 2600 Aec class railcars leaving Albert Qy station. There was also bullied inchicore built railcar examples used on the line.

Modelwise silverfox do an example using uk based stock for the base model. I ve a copy of the diesel dawn book that your welcome to have a lend off.

Excellent work so far looking forward to seeing this develop

Thanks for the comments lads much appreciated

The c class has arrived, time for a brake fluid bath and to start again with the paint work:). The beet wagons are getting their decals on tonight. Still not decided on having a a little blue Mv to go with the other NI locos 8208, 209,112 or finally having a West Cork based loco. Although 112 with a rake of beets behind it brings back the good old memories of her trundling along the south wexford line.

Perfect timing, nice one

Here ya go

I'm thinking of doing either a West Cork based one in Silver/Black and tan or a 104 class in Ni blue.

Cheers Sean, I'm rebuilding a silverfox c class(little 201)still deciding on a livery thought.

Nice one Richie,they must of lost a few bob on the horses last week cause there's a few 60ft container flats gone into the works and strong rumours of a little 201coming in for a major overhaul

The lads down in the wagon shop have been busy 9 finished bar the decals, will be starting number ten tonight.

£271.66 plus postage:confused:

If it was a kit built ssm sulzer I could understand why some one would pay big money but not on the silverfox offering. For £150 I'd expect at least working lights and accurate cab ends.

Mighty tasty and at a good price too
