    Baseboards arrived from Model Railway Solutions yesterday. Assembly commenced. This is the first and largest of the six modules that will make up the layout. Cheers Darius

    Great work. Looks like you have modified Mk2 coaches rather than use MIR etched sides. Looks fantastic - love the NIR blue and maroon livery. Cheers Darius

    Thanks. It was actually masked/painted a bit too wide so I “opened it”. Cheers Darius

    Hi Patrick, I stick a large piece of tape on the clear sheet and cut the glazing bars out with a sharp knife, leaving the tape masks over each pane behind. Cheers Darius

    Pretty sure that you could use 2mm thick card, scored and cut into strips then painted grey. Cheers Darius

    I remember a time during the Hunger Strikes when the busses stopped running and my friend and I had to walk home. We took a tortuous route north in the general direction of the Antrim Road to avoid rival schools. Cheers Darius

    Yes, I remember the double decker from my time at BRA from 1978 to 1983. The single decker came along in the early ‘80s I think. Cheers Darius

    I used Railtec light yellow lining decals. The number and nameplates are also by Railtec - from their “3D Decal” range. Cheers Darius

    There’s an idea - I tried to find photos of that bus and the double decker but couldn’t find any. The Whiterock School I built for BRM is a primary school so I suspect the BRA team might have an advantage. Cheers Darius

    Steering the thread back to modelling, the school bus model is like the one that used to take us to Saturday hockey matches against Wallace High School in Lisburn and, on one occasion, Coleraine Inst. Cheers Darius

    Leyland Tiger - I left Belfast for university and then work in 1983 so the Leopards are the busses I remember. Cheers Darius
