The August Fair Date;-

Unfortunately I lost the majority of the files on this project, back in 2021 my computer died and I could only restore a few files! the ones shown above were restored from this forum. I will be setting up a sound one for myself and will show a video then, or if I meet the client of the above one I'll get some video. Again those photos above are all I could restore, the loco was renumbered to '143' which was the running number of the actual 141 used. Eoin.

I modeled her sister 8102 in Transition Mode - Driver training;- ..... and the completed model behind it 141 engine This model also has sound, it can run in 141 or Dart mode Eoin

I saw! that was coming, though I think I will stick with what I have. It's a year (wow!) since I posted on this project! The shed is fully insulated and waiting to be sheathed out inside, I'm going to use the timber I originally bought to build the shed to do this. Other projects have taken up my time! but should get it done soon...... Eoin

Wizard Models Ltd do brass rivet strips and other stuff for wagons;- https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/shop/wagons/mt163/ Eoin OOPS! just saw Roberts post!!!

July Fair Date;-

I like the weathering on the second last image! Eoin

I use a OptiVISOR head magnifier, they have ground glass elements, far more superior than the plastic ones. Though, they do come at a higher cost. Eoin

I assumed they were galvanized? Eoin

Hope these help Eoin

Very sad, rest in peace

Very sad news, a great modelling friend and yes a perfectionist, I will miss him to. Eoin

The June Fair Date;-

Check out John Mayne for Tin Van kits, not sure if he still has some left, these would be an ideal starting point and a very nice kit.... Eoin

May's Fair Date:-

These coaches are now complete;- Brake 3rd. All 1st. All 3rd. 1st & 2nd Compo - Lav. The End. Eoin.

Weathered and lacquered over the last couple of days;- This build has taken so long that moss & lichen have taken to the roof of the brake van!! Door handles and glazing next Eoin.

A Lobby;- Eoin

Here is one to kick off the discussion;- Taken from Mr CJ Freezer's 'Track Plans' Plan No. 1 for a small bedroom! I have elongated it to suit your dimensions and ignored your lobby, I reckon railway layout space is more important than a lobby. This plan allows for a train to run on a loop, which runs under the station, so then one can play end to end between the fiddle yard, the goods, the engine shed, and the station at the same time. The trains would have to reverse into the station and would be short! Eoin
