Phase 2 looks good with the bridges.............

I have used DG's in 2mm and 4mm. In 2mm, a loop on one end only worked best as two loops coming together at exactly the same height just resulted in the wagon being pushed away. In 4mm I had no issues using loops at both ends, the extra mass of the wagons helping. I would imagine that your 7mm stock would be even better. I did blacken the whole brass fret before assembling the couplings, just touching up any odd shiny bits with a black marker pen after assembly. Rob

Patrick, If you do vist again, the other side and end of the goods shed, the small waiting shelter and the overbridge could do with a few electrons being gathered as well Rob

Patrick, It was a very worthwhile planning exercise which I am sure will inspire someone else in the future. A wonderfull set of photographs which will, with a little bit of brick counting, enable someone to produce an excellent model. Did you take a closer view of the station building and one of the other (road) side? Looking forward to your next project. Rob

20 I think. But I can always print more, not just yet though, flying off to foreign parts (no, not Scotland!) for a week.

Got another pack here if you need more..........

My interpretation of the "non bogie secondary stock" listed in the 1961 register is that most of it was ex- M&GWR. 38 vehicles, just 91, 321 and 905 not "Midland". Were Midland 6 wheelers any better than GSWR 6 wheelers or was just the numbers game with more of them to start with?

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. CB&SCR Nos 19 and 20 anyone? Anyway, well done to the ITG lads and hopefully I might get across the water someday to have a proper look.

All the more reason to move to S scale. https://americanmodels.com/

Thank you. The GNR(I) loco book is a little sparse in A class details, not much beyond the wheelbase (7ft 3in+7ft 3in) but has a very nice drawing for the J class 440 though (Black Lion, Glencar).

Could I please post a request for the "A" class 060? Investigating a possible SLNCR project.......... Thank You

I printed 3 MGWR wagons for Paul as a trial print but I have not yet tried to print them in 4mm or 7mm but I will do soon(ish). I find they print better without a floor.

I haven't got any of the code 82 fb to work from but if anyone wants some sleeper bases and can supply a 6 inch length of rail as a sample then I am willing to give it a go. I used Peco code 75 for the previous batch of bases 'cos that is what I had to hand. Is there much difference in shape between the code 82 mentioned above and the Peco code 83 they use for the USA HO track?

Another one from the NLI Navan Saw Mills

It was fun to research and build as well. Good times but a long time ago
