  1. Its actually inside the wall of Kent Station and not on the Quay. All tracks along the Quay did not sit proud of the road. The wall in the background is part of the old coaling bunker that was later knocked to make way for the Water street container embankment and after that the cement silo.
  2. Flats with a load from the ford factory at Cork from the O'Dea collection.
  3. Suburb! Always a joy to watch this layout.
  4. So sad. I watched his slide show at the IRRS Munster AGM only 2 weeks ago. Always a gentleman. Far too young to have passed very sad for his family. RIP.
  5. I remember the shuttle bus in Cork. It will go nicely on my layout, right era as well.
  6. Very nicely composed and photographed as always.
  7. My mother was from Belfast and it was always my go to shop when ever up on holidays from Cork. I still have the remnants of a few card kits I bought there in the early 80's, great shop.
  8. Wow! Perfect weathering. You'll have to put together a demo video for that.
  9. Stunning layout and workmanship. Thanks for sharing.
  10. Its Glanmire Rd indeed. You can just about see a ghosted view of St Lukes steeple on the far right.
  11. Yip. I had the same experience in Halfords in Cork recently except it was €14 for a can that used to be €8. Left it on the shelf and wont be going back. My local car shop does the Simonz for €7 as well. Not quiet as good as the Hycote but not bad either.
  12. I have the silver bullet die cutter and they're a great machine. I used it to cut all the windows for Kent. Great time saver, you won't regret it.
  13. I recognize it straight away so that's a good start. Yip curves will triple the work load and break your heart but keep with it.
  14. Skinner75 you're a star. I hadn't seen that video before and it contains a lot of info I was looking for particularly around the ticket office area. Thanks for sending the link.
  15. Fantastic. You really captured that 80's oily look. Very nicely photographed as well. Is the point rodding a kit?
  16. Stunning work. Perseverance always pays off and picked up some new skills to boot.
  17. You'll have to model the piano. I'd come and meet you but I'm up the walls with work at the moment.
  18. It hasn't changed very much really. It has been re-roofed but generally looks the same. I have a lot of photo's so if your short on something I'll try and help.
  19. Looking very well. Best of luck with the Cork survey.
  20. Good chatting with you yesterday. I look forward to seeing how you get on. N gauge should be interesting and give you a lot more scope to fit in the whole thing. If you need any photo's or Cad drawings as you progress let me know.
  21. Next level realism. You really get a sense of the shear weight of this engine.
  22. Thought I'd share some update photo's of the progress over the past year. I really do need to be more regular with these updates but you know how it is. The roof trusses got finally finished, they're 3d printed and tied together in 3 main sections using wire lengths. and thankfully it fits! next up a lot of glazing. Some platform accessories added. The signal box was 3d printed as were the lifts benches, bins, fire hoses and railings. The platform was made up from photo's and printed on to vinyl and stuck on to the mdf cut base. I got the track work around the platform area ballasted over the Christmas holidays. Its the N gauge stuff which looks better I think. I've added some Das modelling clay in places to give that dirty well used look and painted with blackish acrylic paint. I'll be adding point rodding to the sides and probably give it a light dusting of break dust. Ticket desk section still very much under construction. Looking forward to modelling No.36 for here. Front Canopy. Tunnel Mouth. Really which I has more room here to model whats above. So photo background will have to do. Station front. Windows and roof added made from plastic card. The Wills brick was painted using various humbrol tones and washed over with cheap blacky brown acrylic for the mortar joints. Interior lighting test. The interiors have been modeled with lights added. The exterior platform signal box at the station loop was modeled using balsa wood and the window ops were 3d printed. Hope you like. I'll try and update more often...New years resolution.
  23. Can these be worked with track magnets for uncoupling?
  24. I'm planning on doing a print of No.36 for my Kent Station layout. It won't be motorized, more for display but I'll let you know how I get on.
