On day to day working locomotives the linings were not that visible.
As can be seen in Richard Whitford's great picture of No. 49.
Also Ian Blair's picture of No.45.
The very thin red lining is not visible at all in these photos.
00 Works second Irish Model, GNRI UG Class in the later UTA livery No. 49.
A short video showing the conversion to DCC and then some test running.
A good start but some tweaks needed.
I understand the model is fitted with a coreless motor so a high end decoder will be required to run it on DCC. I have my decoder but still waiting on the model to arrive.
As Newtoncork said, Rennicks is the only model shop in the town. It used to carry Murphy Model stock but lately the railway stock has been reduced concentrating now on RC Cars.
BUT 700 Series Railcar in action.
I have been building these since October 2016, relieved to see them finished. Still to build coaches to go with them, including a Diner and Brake. The K15 coach is borrowed from my AEC Set.
Thanks JHB, great to have that accurate information.
I was at the RPSI last night at a talk about the acquiring and development of Whitehead. There was a picture of you with others with a Mobile Shop at Whitehead and also one of your Father being interviewed for a TV documentary. Can you recall what the programme was called and which TV channel showed it?
