  1. A tip for running Mamods;- Do not run it for any longer than 1 or 2 fuel tabs! The water level sight glass in the backhead is only plastic, if the water level gets two low the heat in the boiler melts the plastic, with water n steam gushing out. It's not violent but that's the end of the sight glass, spares are available. But knowing this and keeping an eye on the water level, not running it for more than 2 fuel tabs, this can be avoided.

  2. @Broithe yes I had a similar situation once, the hinges had a removable pivot pins, on one of the hinges the pin could be pulled out by ones fingers. A lot of old style aluminium windows are easy to get through- the section that holds the glass in was on the outside, after pulling out the rubber seal there was enough play to pop this alu section off and then the glass could be removed......

  3. I eventually got the insulation and corrugated sheeting on the roof of the 'Shelving Shed';- The roof was extended out to give a bit of porch cover to the door for those rainy days. The locking and hinge system was also upgraded for better security. The timber purlins were fixed down on top of the existing tar roof finish, 80mm thick styrene insulation was installed again on top of the tar sheeting, then the corrugated sheets. Timber barges and eaves are next, there will also be metal barge pressings when the timbers are done. More later...... Eoin

  5. @David Holman Check out 'Ghost' printers online, these are setup to print white. Fine for white only. The problem is if you want to print colour on a white background the sheet has to go through the printer again- which causes problems with registration ie;- lining up! Your talking £600 - £800 for the printer. Loads of videos on youtube- type in 'ghost Printers' One can print inkjet/laser on white decal paper, but the decal has to be cut out by hand. Printing inkjet on transparent sheet is useless the model colour bleeds through the inks, laser is slightly better! Eoin
  6. I have 3 cats that hang in the garden, their not mine, but all the neighbours think they are! I don't allow them in the sheds, they do try, last time one got in the squirt smell lasted for weeks!! Eoin

  8. It would seem that the link above is not available to the public anymore! But this popped up in youyube;- Eoin.
  9. @Gabhal Luimnigh Here are a few photos of the sheds I mentioned above, I know it's different to what you have in mind but it gives some ideas, especially the ground level detail;- Eoin.
  10. Check out the resources on here for dimensional ideas;- https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/resources/proto_drawings/ Eoin
  11. @Gabhal Luimnigh Not sure about the availability of the IRRS drawings- Anthony McD' looked after the drawings but sadly he passed away a few years back, though contacting them will answer the question of availability? Line drawings with principal dimensions can be found in Ian Allan's publications like;- 'Narrow Gauge Rolling Stock' by Desmond Coakham. 'The County Donegal Railways Companion' by Roger Crombleholme. I know they are a different gauge but a great starting point, also I sure more published drawing recommendations can be offered on here! I also know a man who built 2 storage sheds in wagon fashion, if he is agreeable I could get a few photos of what he did if you like? Eoin
