Ah shur, I said I was saying nothin. And it's Dave needs the spoon. I'm sure the coaches will be beautiful, but I don't really need a lot of stock, and with the cravens I got I will be just fine. No really. I will just be over here in the corner silently sobbing Best of luck with them

Dave , you must have very big spoons with the amount of stirring you are doing

saying nothin

Absolutely fantastic! I love looking at Alan's tread on The Stone Yard ( The Narrow Gauge One) as well as Loughan Key. I think half of his view count could be down to me. The level of detail is exceptional. A true masterclass. . And great pics Patrick by the way

Thanks Kevin, it looks great. I have a box of Woodland Scenics water which I am working up the courage to have a go at.
-
Looking forward to this one Kevin. I seem to be asking everyone this lately, but what did you use for the water effect. And any chance of a closer look at it please?
-
Sheesh, never came across that stuff before. It does look a lot simpler than the W/S stuff ok. Oh well, I have it now so I am gonna use it even if it kills me. The W/S water was a lot more expensive too- 33 euro I think. And I am not too sure how much it will cover. Hopefully do my river from one box. Hopefully.............
-
Very nice. What did you use for water? I have a Woodland Scenics kit for a while but haven't gotten around to using it yet. Roll on next month

God John, ye were spoiled in Dublin with such a choice of shops stocking model railways. The only alternative we had in Limerick to Tots to Teens was when Ryans Hardware (also on Patrick St.) would stock up on toys for the Christmas season, and a few train sets would be included. We didn't know how to handle all of the options
-
Christ! Shocking stuff, but well told

The model shop of my childhood was a toy shop on Patrick St. in Limerick called "Tots to Teens". It had a basement entirely devoted to model railways. (Hornby and Lima). There was at least two layouts set up, running trains. My mates and I would haunt the place a couple times a week , driving the staff mad, drooling over stuff we could never afford. Pure magic memories- those were the days.

speechless!!!!!

Have to say I agree here. I thought the roof was a tad steep too, but didn't like to say. The making of it ( and indeed the shed itself) is excellent though.

Fantastic pics as usual Patrick- especially number 4, the two lads shooting the breeze in the glow of the loco lights. Pure magic -
British locos and stock that can be disguised as Irish

Nice looking layout too, @DoctorPan. But that is one serious wrinkle in the sky Bridge to the beach is excellent -
Fantastic Kevin. Your buildings put everybody else in the ha'penny place. How many clones of you are there? Production rate is off the scale! Your level of detail is simply mindblowing.

yep

Thanks, have to give credit to @fergalm1 here. His bridge on BORRIS was the inspiritation for mine. shur we have to get our ideas somewhere Yeah, from DAS clay. Made a template to get the overall shape and etched out the stones while clay was still "wet". I showed some basic shots of it earlier in the tread. Thanks for the kind comment
-
Thanks Alan. That is the effect I was after, and a lot of the reason for the position of the bridge Hoping to get a good video of a train appearing around the curve and emerging from under the bridge. Hopefully.........................
-
Here are some pics of the finished area around the new bridge. And I know the road looks very black. This is because it was raining the day I took pics. Also, because I forgot to sand the road. Its on the list of things to do

Lads I never tried to insult anyone in that original post. All I said was that there are bigger things to worry about than the spacings of buffers a mill or two either way. I also said the models were great either way. So, I could get the hump and storm off and never post again, but I am not gonna do that. No, in fact I am just about to stick some stuff on Dereks Layout , so let's all head over there and have a look
-
Hi, just wondering why my post on this tread was removed. I was merely trying to point out that, regardless of the buffer spacings, the models themselves were still excellent. I didn't think I was being insulting or abusive to anyone . Just saying that people were getting very excited about very little. Maybe someone could enlighten me. Trying to ask this as pleasantly as I can. Maybe @Warbonnet, @Garfield, @BosKonayor @MOGUL might be able to help. Thanks, Derek

Looking well @Metrovik. Ballasting is a pain ok. I "rusted" my tracks using Woodland Scenics "rusty rail" markers. No need to do any masking off. I found them ok to use, but the tips wore out long before the ink inside the marker. I ended up buying more than I needed just to get more tips. Will probably end up breaking open the markers to get at the ink and using a fine brush to paint on.. Your track is looking smashing .Show us a pic when you take tape off if you get a chance. Looking forward to next months update already

Yeah, I actually cancelled my preordered Park Royals . All the wagons arriving ahead of them was a bit of a pain, given that the Royals were ordered about ten years ago it seems. After I obtained some Cravens it really made my mind up to cancel. In fairness if I hadn't got the Cravens, I would have hung on. And on..............

And you had the nerve to call me a stirrer Denis
