    Still no email about shipping yet, I'll have to give them a ring again if I don't hear from them today....

    Just hoping for something southern, otherwise I'll have to run an excursion train!

    Spoke to rails on Friday by phone and the nice gentleman said they're just completely overwhelmed but are trying their best to get to them. I'd be surprised if we don't get shipping emails this week.

    Invoice paid, Awaiting with excitement!

    Oh for gods sake! How many references are you up to now 10,12?

    Not yet received an invoice, hope I'm not alone....

    Nice to see someone else with some corrugated roofing! Now that I think about that's a very specific compliment... Great work though.

    Just as stunning as the last time my jaw dropped looking at your work Alan!

    I used this stuff, https://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=46076 purely because it seemed a lot less confusing than All the different types of woodland scenics water and most importantly because it was right beside the ballast glue on the shelf.

    A little late but a nice big update. Ballasting is finally complete after a month long hiatus due to a lack of glue. Finally. I also added a water feature, a nice little pond. Slight leakage occured with the water but not bad for a first attempt! Cattle and sugar beet loading dock began (compliments of the local farmer) crying out for paint and plants though. In case you can't tell, I'm very proud of this pond! See you next month......

    Sorry lads, didn't get the chance to reply yesterday. Thanks for all the info. Looks like it wasn't always so sleepy at Ballybrophy! Progress or not they've really taken the charm out of the place!

    Having recently seen the remains of a Turntable upon leaving the sleepy Ballybrophy, It occurred to me I've no idea what stock would've ever run on the line bar the current DMUs and the GM diesels of not so long ago bar I'm guessing a C class but I've still no real idea of the actual passenger stock. This is mostly helped by my inability to find any photographs of the station bar the odd few in Ernie's archive. So anyone with any information on this sleepy little overlooked line is much appreciated.

    The Camerawork in the donegal photos is brilliant, especially considering it was shot on film with no such thing as auto-focus and captures a moving subject. It really shows just how much the landscape has changed.

    Haven't gotten round to it but it's the next job on an ever growing list.....

    Well here We are again, right on schedule, but with significant progress for once. The Permanent way train has finally arrived! Track was pinned down onto the Cork (thanks @LNERW1) and track was given a nice coat of dirt. Hopefully it'll help mask the fact that it's Hornby set track....... After that incredibly tedious process of masking and painting, we move onto the other tedious job of ballasting, but mercifully I ran out of glue. Let's hope it doesn't take a month to finish....... As usual tips and advice is not only welcomed but encouraged.

    Nevermind, I've had a look myself and realised what a stupid question this was. Feel free to delete this topic Mods.....
  21. Metrovik
    That wheelbase is adorable!
  22. Metrovik
    Probably going a bit over the top here, but does anybody know of the suitability of this ballast for an Irish line in steam days? Any input is much a appreciated.
  23. Metrovik
    Id probably go for something more southern myself. Mabye try and start with a few wagons and build up to a tank engine? Just enough for a sleepy GSR/CIE branchline. As for the coaches, personally I wouldn't notice but maybe that's half the problem.......
  24. Metrovik
    Your work is simply inspiring me Gibbo, literally! I just need to find a suitable conversion...

    I don't think I've ever seen quite so many puns in one post..... Love it.
