  1. Thanks very much, Ill have to drop Dez an email so!
  2. Hello all, been a while since I've posted here, mostly because not much has changed on the layout and I hadn't the time to give many updates, be it because of life, travelling, work or college! Either way I thought I might as well post some new pictures and ask some questions. IMG_2239 (1).mp4 First of all, was gutted to hear of the passing of Paddy Murphy. Though I never properly met the man in person, the quality of his models were second to none and the Irish Model Railway scene wouldn't be what is is today without him. Secondly, at the last Dublin exhibition in October I bought a Ratio Models kit of an LNWR corridor coach and painted it up to be an old CIE coach. Does anyone know who would be selling more of these? Would love to get a proper rake of 3 or 4 going, and I think the finished kits are convincing enough and they can easily get away with being a GSWR one-off or the like. I also recently got this Oxford tank wagon with the intention of turning it into an "Irish Shell" wagon, anyone know where I can get decals? Last point I wanted to make is that I have a Vinted, now I doubt anyone on this forum will have much interest in what I have to sell as it's mostly my old British stock (and clothes),but it cant hurt to get the word out! https://www.vinted.ie/member/291760050 Either way, that's all from me, really looking forward to the Park Royals, I have a pair pre ordered for myself and I'm checking the news tab regularly for updates! Hope all is well on yer end, All the best, Adam
  3. Good evening, I would be happy to take that off you! Thanks, Adam
  4. As someone who is well under 60 and whos interests would lie within the "flying snail" and early "black n tan" livery era, id say if love one of these running around my layout!
  5. 100% Silver/green ones to go with the new park royals??
  6. Your dead right, still though, its a nickle silver kit so how different is it from a brass one? and is he still taking commissions? Either way the J28 sounds interesting, always good to see more kits on the market.
  7. I would interested in a J18, depending on price and it's quality of course! Any chance of a Bandon tank?
  8. Have a pair of Park Royals on order, is there a way of gaining the points on my current order before the day is done? Order was confirmed the 6th of November.
  9. One of the first ever 'Irish' items I ever purchased was this old Pullman car custom painted in the CIE livery, I would like to know weather this is a work of fiction or if there ever were cars on the network running in these colours. I know the great southern railway bought a small few carriages, but I cant find much other information on them. Would love to paint up a rake of Irish Pullmans if I could find any info on them and their colour schemes. Thanks
  10. Though the layout won't make it to SDMRC, work continues! A mate of mine 3d printed me a few crates as well as barrels and palates to fill out the station, so a few more updates to come now.
  11. Deffo! Just looking for a something of the right size.
  12. Just finished the next project! My own take on a class 101, with plenty of creative liberties taken. Repainted from an Oxford Rail dean goods loco with decals provided by @dropshort105. IMG_9560.mp4
  13. I know this is a long shot but you hardly still have these?
  14. Thanks very much, looking at doing the Dublin show but I have the Dublin marathon that weekend as well so it could be messy, Ill keep ye posted!
  15. Recently removed the chipper and terrace houses on the hill by the road. Decided to replace it with a ruined abbey from the middle ages, scratch built by myself from plywood and willis kits stone sheets, I thought it would give the layout a more rural Irish feel, rather than those old English-looking Metcalfe kits!
  16. Looming over the layout now is a bookshelf. Since the layout is on the bottom bunk of the spare room, I built the shelf to fill in to the space and to give the already small room a bit more storage. It's also got a stretch atop to display locos with trains behind them.
  17. Thanks very much, I use Douglas Light Green for the paint and Clear Lacquer for the finish. The lacquer is great for holding decals on as well, i've used it for no.200 as well as my own WT loco.
  18. One in a GNRI blue & cream could be one to try now.
  19. Thanks very much! Slowly improving the craft.
  20. Painted it up myself last week, its an old Lima German diesel that I bought as a souvenir in Nuremburg. The number 200 doesn't mean anything, I just had the numbers 200 decals spare.
  21. Some more pictures of the layout. At a stage where I am happy with it and would consider the layout finished. Maybe time for a new project???
  22. Few new buildings finished for the backstreet. I've also completed my own WT class from a Bachmann Fairburn tank. Layouts in the finishing stages now!
  23. Thinking of going to sell/swap this pair of locomotives, would there be any interest?
