Hi All Yes, the first show of 2016 was very well attended, thanks for dropping in, next show is on Feb 28;- Hope to see you then Eoin

Hi I was by the Greystones Layout dropping off some trees and to fix up the track in the timber yard, here is a few shots in the daylight;- Eoin

Hi Dave Lovely stuff, a nice bit of vegetation going on there and the track work is pretty realistic Eoin

JHB There is only one place for you;- or maybe! Eoin

Hi It's home spun- .8mm piano wire soldered up with U-POL aluminium reinforcing mesh for car body repair epoxied on, I've a few little 'CIE NO Trespass' signs, barbed wire on the top, and some weathering to go on yet... Eoin

Hi All Don't forget the first Bray Show of 2016 is on this Sunday coming, the 24th Hope to see you there.... Eoin

Hi Kirley Well worth cutting up your layout! nice addition, I like those black fuel wagons to Eoin

Hi Dave Great stuff Dave, very well done. I look forward to following your updates and wish all the success in creating a valuable modellers video resource on the products you sell and technique for installing... Eoin

Hi Dave Very nice Dave... I know where you are today- track testing on the container layout!! Eoin

Warbonnet Me thinks there is one at the foot of the tree for him!! we'll know later today...... Eoin

Horsetan Yes, I have all the necessory now to make 21mm after building these two, the P4 wheels can take up to 3-4 months to get thru Branchlines from Aussieland but this still works within the timeframe for batch building! Eoin

Hi Horsetan That could be an idea, I know a man in there, I'll look into that as the chap I'm making these for- last time we spoke had not set-up his track yet.. Eoin

Snap DC I built this one for me mum (though not edible) a Christmas present for her grandchild Hi-tech modelling- it even came with a wooden screwdriver! Happy Christmas Eoin

Hi Horsetan I have to agree, that extra 5mm makes a huge difference, got to make myself one of these! if I can find the time and use the correct rails which should enhance things more! Westhy Well done on the stuffing, hope you enjoy it today- so you do a bit of cooking as well as model building...multitasking Have fun Eoin

Hi David My word! your done! it looks amazing.... Maybe the fuzziness of the eye after the Christmas additives will also help the weathering! That's another one I want.... Happy Christmas Eoin

Hi Sean Fantastic stuff, an excellent example of attic railway modelling, aside from the excellent realistic modelling the integration of the 1:1 scale roof structure into the layout adds to it all.... just magic Eoin

Hi Finally, over the last month or so, rolling chassis have been coming off the workbench. I now feel the back is broken on this current batch build , as posted on my Plastic Moulding thread I had a pain of a time remaking and processing the plastic parts, not fully finished but I can see the end. Plastic Parts;- http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/5083-Moulding-Plastic-Tips?p=78996&viewfull=1#post78996 Here are a few shots of a P4 21mm Gauge DART chassis which I'm building two of, apologies to you P4'rs out there but I only had standard rails to make up a bit of 21mm track- though I did fill in the sleeper gap with ballast to help! The Mock DART body is just plonked on so you can scale things!! the 21mm chassis are DART25's but the body is not ready yet. Comparison to 16mm Comparison to standard 16mm spud, the brass sleeves are to keep the wheels centred- Black Beetle P4 wheels. The bits Happy Christmas to all Eoin

Hi First Bray Show of 2016 is on on;-

Hi JHB You could use the stuff you have, the sample attached is done in Photoshop using layers to overlay the colours and add text references. It's not overly complex to do, once you work out the first few you'd be flying.... Eoin

Hi Noel That's fine, we got on grand without you, glad to see you submitted a note though.... Eoin

Hi David Would yeah stop! I just put down the New Irish Lines after an enjoyable read of a fantastic article about the construction of 3 no Gauge O models by guess who. Fantastic stuff, the models in black n white photos look stunning, I want all three..... Tony I'm sure with the holiday spirit he will forgive... Thanks all for looking and happy Christmas Eoin

Hi Clocks for running model railway Check out this link if interested;- http://modelrailmusings.weebly.com/synchronized-fast-clocks.html Eoin

Here you go garfieldsghost, I'll leave the ceremony up to you.... Eoin

Thanks Mrs/Mr BosKonay
