I was thinking a door stop

Hi jhb Here is another corrugated roof I've been working on, it's scale 1:1 and has taken about 300 years to get the weathering correct! but you must agree it does look very authentic...... ....and yes Borithe ''I hear the rain'' Eoin

Great result, well done guys Eoin

Excellent idea, I like it a lot.... Eoin

Next Fair Date;-

Hi jhb Corrugated sheeting can be easily home spun- with a little practice;- Here's one I prepared earlier Tinfoil, cardboard or styrene base, pva glue and a long spring- cut the card to the size required, then spread the pva glue on it nice and thick, then lay the tinfoil on top, then roll the spring over the laminate with light pressure. The glue squeezes out where the spring wire makes contact leaving a nice corrugation look, a little practice to perfect the technique and you could sheet your whole kitchen.... then all that is needed is painting & decoration! Eoin

Yes, some lovely stuff Pity to see it being separated, wouldn't it be nice to see the collection held in a museum or the like? Eoin

Holy Moley Noel What am I going to do? - I don't have a gate code! for that matter I don't even have a gate Eoin

Hi Noel 'Langley' white metal hoses, a little tweak n bend - they come in a packet with various types and enough for about 6 locs or wagons... Eoin

Don't forget Guys, the Train & Model Fair is on tomorrow. Eoin

Hi John I love it, trains everywhere.... Eoin

Hi popeye 4 looks OK to me on the red background. Eoin Edit;- Looking again- 3 i'm now liking but less Humbrol 2 in it??

...and again, I knew I had it somewhere in me notes! Humbrol 78 matt 'Cockpit Green', and then use a gloss finish if you wants shinny- personally I would go for matt for a sun beaten weathered look;- Eoin Hi jhb Yes, that's worth a try.... Eoin

Hi Guys Here is a montage of colours being discussed;- Unfortunately I don't have Humbrol 3, only have Airfix close to! and only Mr Poots Dublin Bus but are correct for the bus & DART.... So Brunswick is the closest and does need a bit of adjustment, besides mixing to get the correct shade one could also try a dark yellow, and even a light blue undercoat? Eoin

Hi johnminnitt As far as I know those paints are for the 80's/90's Dublin Bus and the DART, the dark green is not as dark as popeye requires, Humbrol 2 is getting there but I reckon not dark enough- yellow is only going to lighten it.... I'd start with Humbrol 3 'Brunswick Green' and maybe try a smidge of yellow or..... test away.... Eoin

Hi jhb You could also buy it here;- http://www.pendragonpublishing.co.uk/index.htm Eoin Hi jhb As wrennie says- Diarmuid may be able to help;- https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=weir park books and models Eoin

......and your question is? Eoin

Take a look here also Eoin

Hi TinTin Looking good, your flying along.... A hand held hot wire foam cutter is the tool for cutting the board with minimum mess, Proxxon do a nice unit 'Thermocut 12/E' but is a bit more expensive than most, it's advantage is that it has an articulated arm and allied with solid .85mm nichrome wire one can cut all kinds of shapes. Woodland Scenics, Hobbies are others..... Do a goggle search and take a look at the photos Eoin

Hi TinTin Not sure if you are referring to a paper OS map or the OS map website, the website is very handy and here is a link of the Historic 25" map zoomed in on the Bray Station, not sure if the settings are retained in the link;- http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,726897,718756,11,9 Also, You might be aware of the Bray Enniskerry Railway?, it was almost built- a lot of ground works done, when things went wrong for the company and the works were abandoned to the scapman. It ran from the terminus at the Cattle pens at the eastern side of Carlisle Grounds and swung west to the Bray River (The Dargle) and followed the river up to Enniskerry- it could make a nice talking point on any Bray Station layout! Eoin

Hi Northman Yes, Mr Murphy paid a visit to the show mid morning, carrying a big box in his hands looking like santa, he stopped off at our table to have a chat about the models, a very nice man, 15mins later I had my pack off Wrennie....... Eoin

Hi TinTin Great project, I have always planned to do a model of Bray Head, I reckon it will be in Gauge N- to fit things in! Looking forward to seeing your layout develop Eoin

Borithe Some very nice layouts, great to see Eoin

Mr Musk is joining the IRM team and we all get a slightly singed used car? Is there a prize, is there a prize? Eoin
