    Very nice indeed - love the backscene!
  2. Flying Snail
    These prints look very good indeed! Maybe its the diesel wine speaking, but I stand by what I said about FDM being a viable option

    I'd suggest reaching out to the IRRS. They have a lot of railway footage on their Youtube channel https://irrs.ie/resources/

    It may be worth trying the old-fashioned route and writing to Alan by post. His address is listed on the Worsley Works website. Given the difficulty people seem to be having in reaching him by email/phone, it’s possible he may no longer be in a position to manage correspondence that way. A letter might be seen by Alan himself, or by someone assisting him, who could perhaps help move things forward.

    That looks like a really neat job - very clean brasswork

    There's a Co-op in Holyhead a few minutes walk from the ferry terminal ... I'll keep an eye out for the screwtop the next time I'm passing through ... it'll make the train trip to Chester fly along nicely

    It looks well in Northport Quay. Lovely model - really eye catching, and its been an enjoyable build to follow

    Its like chalk and cheese .. that last picture really does look like two different models. Lovely weathering!

    That looks very good, nice detail in that print - FDM with a 0.2 nozzle looks like a viable alternative to resin printing

    Few pics of it here in @Westcorkrailway's thread:

    There is indeed a photo of 91 as a saddle tank in the GSR book!

    I think he might pass for a member of Ireland's other police force at the time, the DMP: Dublin Metropolitan Police. However, as the name implies it wouldn't have had jurisdiction down the country in places like Northport Quay

    I'm very much looking forward to seeing what nuggets you've unearthed! Enjoy the tour (that goes for everyone on here partaking too! )
  14. Flying Snail
    Congratulations! Its an excellent layout!
  15. Flying Snail
    Very nice indeed!

    Do you know was it dark olive green instead of black, and saffron instead of tan .. or the other way round with the lighter colour on top?

    Knock, Knock open wide, see what's on the other side, knock knock any more, come with me through the magic door ...

    The Passion of Saint Tibulus is what came to mind for me ...

    I’d be inclined to think that either arrangement could still result in the same basic flow of staff. Whether it was a balcony pay hatch or an internal desk/counter, you could still have a line forming up the steps on one side, with staff waiting their turn, and then exiting via the steps on the opposite side once they were finished. That kind of one-way circulation would make sense in either case and would help avoid blocking the queue. Just speculation my part as I haven't seen evidence of either.

    this really brings out the beauty of the GNR architecture!

    I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in your memories together and that brighter days will come again.

    I think you're hoping for a bit too much here in terms of downloadable fonts – for a lot of those older liveries, there simply isn’t a “ready-made” font in the modern sense. That’s why the examples shared above by Mol_PMB are very useful – they’re exactly the kind of reference you need if you’re trying to recreate numerals accurately, even if it means a bit of drawing or tweaking yourself. Probably the only way to really capture the look properly to be fair.

    Plenty of great modelling going on here - as David says, its different but thats what makes it interesting to me. I'm looking forward to seeing this documentary if it will be publicly available?
  24. Flying Snail
    I have a few and they're lovely carriages alright ... sure if your doing another run, maybe through in a few GSR or even GSWR while you're at it too lads? Anyone for the DNGR???
  25. Flying Snail
    Likewise - very excited. I know from the lads' updates here that they're a few weeks away yet, but the email might confuse someone not following along with the updates here as it says 'Current Order Status: Arrived In To Stock' before then saying 'Latest ETA: May 29, 2026'
