Great pictures of your layout start, Ireland on a day when the rain has stopped and the sun has come out making everything look fresh and clean.

Well done CG, the layout is taking shape and you are getting good advice from Glenderg. Nice to see your range of Provincial Wagons, keep the pictures coming.

Thanks Fran, great find

Got a packet of "beet" and tried it out on one of my wagons. Looks the part, only wished I had ordered more as postage was dear.

I think you might have "a point" UP6963 I find it hard to get the nose angle right. It looks like I may have to re profile it. Thanks Alex for the correction on the Driver's window size. "There's none so blind as those who cannot see"

Fantastic work Dave, great to see this layout unfold. The technology is very impressive.

I have those editions, if you can't get them elsewhere I could scan the relevant parts for you.

I am going to do the 3 Car set in Maroon/Light Grey which gives me of option of NIR or IR logos. The Intermediate Car will be painted Maroon/Blue to join a 2 Car set I have in this livery.

I seem to be spending all my time filling, sanding, priming and then starting the whole process over again. Anyway here is the results so far. Two Intermediates and a Driving Trailer I eventually had a go at the front Cab knowing this would make or break this build. Hopefully I have captured the look but if you think otherwise please say as things can be modified at this stage.

R, you've put an idea into my head - have you a link to window overlays, I've seen them somewhere but can't remember where?

Work continues on the Class 80 set. The difficult nose section having a dry fitting. Hope I’ve got the angle right. The Driving Trailer and two Intermediate Trailers with fillers added and rough sanding completed. I'll do another sanding with wet & dry before the first primer coat.

Having attempted to scratch build these wagons I really appreciate the detail included. Well done to the Model Maker and to you Leslie for coming through with this unique wagon.

Thanks for the information and references

Well done with the Cement Bubbles, and congratulations on a very innovative and unique approach to modelling them. Good to see you are not sitting on your laurels and have a good list of projects in the pipeline. It has to be an encouragement to Those Who View And Are Yet To Do!

Excellent job on the Cattle Wagons, you managed a better job with the decals than I did. Considering the cargo, the interior and part of the outside would have a very "used" look. I understand the insides were every so often 'whitewashed'. Cue Jhb for the correct information.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill

Thanks Stephen, without your help I would never would have got there. It's a bit more cumbersome than Photobucket but as long as it works...

Still working on my Power Car. Tried a dry fit on a Bachmann chassis.

Nice

I've moved my image to the Public folder Clicked share Get link Link copied to clipboard still does not show when I paste it. You say, "Add Image" I can't find that, the only one I see is "Insert Image" but that does not work as well? -HELP!

Thanks Guys for the suggestions. I tried Dropbox but can't get my images to show, is there something else you do other than copying the link?

Very nicely finished coaches but they don't have the Class 80 Intermediate centre doors.

Yes Stephen, they should be familiar to you.

Your only chance to get a Power Car/ Driving Trailer or a 3 Car set is by building one, if you look at 33lima's excellent thread on building a Class 80 (see Workbench 2nd page) and follow his work, that's what I'm doing.
