Air dry clay needs to be done on sealed surfaces in small sections to avoid cracking, like laying the real thing! Card is much easier and it can be painted with varying shades of grey, again it can be marked/embossed with pencil lead to imitate construction lines. See link to the Greystones layout timber yard below;- Eoin

Planning permission works this way;- A decision to grant planning is first made by the planning authority, it's is then open for a period of 1 month for appeals or objections on that decision to grant, if no appeals or objections have been lodged in this period then the final grant of permission is issued. If appeals or objections are lodged in the 1 month period after the decision to grant it then goes to An Bord Pleanala to make a final decision- taking anywhere from 3 months to years sometimes, the time is at the discretion of the Bord.

November's Fair Date;-

Yes, everything that Brendan does is superb, same goes for Tony..... Eoin.

CC1 in the workshop for some repairs. Built by Brendan Kelly & painted by Tony Mrolo, it's on an Athern chassis...... Eoin.

Congratulations on the very nice article in Railway Modeller's Special 900th Anniversary Issue, it's all the better getting written up in a special issue- maybe a cover to be framed for your workshop wall? Eoin

Thats a 141 kit, in the photo the cab sides are missing- unless they are stuck onto the cab fronts as the fronts seem to be propped up on something..... Eoin

Hi Callum, Thats unfortunate there is no scale given. All draftsman should indicate a scale on drawings. Thats a sectional detail drawing you show, sometimes these can be drawn full size, my comments above related to a full loco general arrangement drawings or say a drawing of the chassis only. But I see figured dimensions on that drawing, so you need to get out your scale and measure the dimensions to see what scale the drawing is. I hope you are familiar with using scales and have a few, the dimensions are imperial so you need an 'imperial scale' Eoin

Yes, that's them. You may have to shop around as scanning & printing large scale drawings can be expensive! Eoin
