Beautiful work, the roof brings it together nicely. Lovely moody atmosphere with the night shots and lighting.

Lovely weathering, and always nice to see something been scratch built, great job.

Nice weathering job, well done.

Congrats Stephen.

just stunning Kirley, some amount of work done.

Lovely internal paint job and lighting, really brings these carriages to life.

I've only just discovered this whole section of the site, and wow!! fantastic work.

nice looking model, another great addition to Tara Junction.

The girder bridge is nearly complete, and I have become a certified rivet counter!! All is left now is a paint job and some billboard decals.

nice video, the lights really make her.

Looks great, really coming alive now.

You did a fantastic job on her, love that livery as well.

Looking fabulous, well done.

Cheers Tom, the plan is to model the Cork yard and main station condensed and in two halves to form a loop. I have an attic space 5.5m X 4m and I'm planning to build the yard with shed and cement works on one side and the main station on the other. I've been playing about with some rough track plans but nothing fully worked out yet. At the moment I'm concentrating on building the various structures for the layout. I've insulated the attic and the next step is to build the base boards.

Fantastic stuff all round. I love the sound effects, how did you get the prototypical clicking sound from the bogies?

Just spotted a load of ballast at the Cork yard today. Does anybody know where they intend to use it? could we see some auto ballasters down this way soon? Or is it just hard core for the car park extension!!

I don't think it would be a good approach for doing a wagon as all the handling would probably put the foil out of shape. But I'll stick up a tutorial and a few photo's in the next day or so on it.

nice ballasting, its really shaping up now.

fanny tastic! I luv's it.

Nice one Des.

Wow, they look great. Are they kits or ready to run?

I would suggest maybe ballasting the track on a separate piece of lite timber like hardboard and overlaying that to the card model after when fully dry.

If you need cad drawings, I'd be happy to send them on.

Just a quick update on the workbench. Some very slow progress on roofing the Cork shed. The roof corrugated effect was done by pressing layers of glued tin foil using a plastic card template. This work is extremely tedious so to alleviate the boredom I have started modeling the girder bridge on the eastern approach to Cork station. Hope you like.

Its really coming together now, can't wait to see it painted up.
