Kirley

I watched last nights programme but did not like the format, everything seemed to be in 2 minute sections, maybe that's modern programme making.

I thought 10 Commandments did them but no, the only thing I could find is an air compressor

Armstrong Whitworth Air Compressor (OO Scale 1/76th) Ref: RW10

Perhaps Mikes suggestion of Shapeways is the one to try.

Thanks Dave for displaying these, you must be searching the basement of Bracken Towers to unearth them.

That's a model from Clockwork Ideas in 00 scale, Glenderg built one from their kits a while back in IR livery.

BCDR 30 were painted in their original liveries by the UTA under the direction of the late Harold Houston, whose knowledge of all things NCC and BCDR was encyclopaedic. They can therefore be taken as absolutely accurate

Desmond Coakham’s book on the BCDR states, “We may complain about the painting style (carried out at the York Road Works) of No.30 that now reposes in the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum. The green is wrong and the company initials were not carried after ‘Invisible Green’ was given up,”

It seems the greens used on the BCDR were ‘Indivisible Green’ almost black in colour followed from 1937 by a dark Olive Green.

In the pursuit of accurate railways colours who knows where the truth lies.

Good to seeing you posting again Patrick.

Just excellent

A busy morning at Clonmel Goods Shed.

Here's my attempt,

Just finished going your photos of Kits Dave, some there I never have heard of, I take it they are long out of production.

 

 

The 650 Class 2-4-0 & CIE 20T flat wagon are next in line for release before any further development work on the coach kits.

John any chance of putting up more details of your next projects here or on your Facebook page?

Kieran-you should invest in one of the Viessmann tampers-you won't regret it....!!!

I'm not sure Noel that "invest" is the right word but I agree they look and sound great. I was given the Lilliput model and was toying with the idea of building a plasticard body on it. I widened the bogies to fit a larger wheel size to increase the height but it's more like trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

PW working on Kirley Junction.

Like the finished article.

Continued to be amazed at what come out of those vaults of yours Dave.

Looks the part Raymond, only another 15 to go.

The combination of plasticard overlays with the nylon 3d body seems to be a good idea. Kieran did you use Mekpak or superglue to stick the overlays to the body?

It's not my idea John, the innovator is Richard EH. Not sure what he used but I tried Revell Contacta Liquid Special, mainly as I had it on hand and it worked.

Class!

GNR(I) JT Locomotive.

In an earlier post I displayed some pictures of 4 Provincial Wagons I had just completed being pulled by this locomotive. No one commented on the locomotive which maybe indicates a limited interest on Steam locomotives on this site.

Anyway here is a video of it action. You may notice in the earlier part of the video the locomotive was not running smoothly but after working at the CV's it improved.

The 3D body is made by Richard EH of this Site and is sold through Shapeways site: https://www.shapeways.com/product/322AX6GR7/4mm-scale-gnri-jt-tank-body-shell-16-5mm-gauge?optionId=8347275

Richard has already displayed his own build of this model on this Site.

Anyone who has visited the Transport Museum at Cultra will have seen this preserved locomotive and it is nice to reproduce it in model form.

I made a short video of the model in action, see Layout Section -Kirley Junction.

Scratch built wagons, yes please.

Some brand new Container arrivals at the Freight Yard yesterday.

Excellent innovative work Richard, I'm jealous of your ability to, "replaced that with a 3d printed roof I designed to fit".

Excellent addition Richard.

I would say it was a fairly standard bauxite across all the Railway Companies.
