Water tank made from card and plasticard. Cheers Darius

CAF 3000 unit now running. The unit was made using CMAC 3D printed body shells on modified Bachmann Class 170 chassis. Cheers Darius

Spoil loading bank painted and weathered. Cheers Darius

Spoil loading dock constructed using 2mm card stock. The dock structure has now been coated with diluted pva prior to painting. Cheers Darius

MED now running nicely. Added pickups to the trailing bogie of the power car to improve things. Cheers Darius

Modified another OD Land Rover. Cheers Darius

Modified Oxford Diecast Land Rover using thin plasticard. Still need to add outer mesh screen to windscreen and touch in head and tail lamps - plus number plates. Cheers Darius

Some 1960s NIR stock on the move. Cheers Darius

UTA trains in action. A Larne boat train and post war Railcars 6 and 7. Cheers Darius

And the 80 Class is now operational. Cheers Darius

Dusted down the 70 Class for a run. I added pick ups to the trailing bogie of the power car to prevent gapping at the insulated frogs. Cheers Darius

My first and only main line steam trip in Ireland was from York Road to Whitehead and back in 1978, hauled by one of those two locos - not sure which but I recall it was green. Cheers Darius

Power bus installed below the baseboards with feeds to each length of flexitrack soldered to the undersides of the rails. Found one short due to one of the turnout frog rails not having an insulated joiner - fixed. Running fine on DCC. Cheers Darius

Planning to use the same technique to build the station buildings and canopy for “Whiterock”. Cheers Darius

Hi Leslie, I used 2mm and 1mm thick card stock for the main structure and roof along with thinner card (photo print paper). For the cabin glazing I used clear acetate sheet (Ratio kit packaging). I used Ratio windows to make the large glazed units to the frame room. Cheers Darius
