Yup' date=' can do.[/quote'] etched? Would be very tasty!

It just looks so shabby and unprofessional to mix and match incompatible loco and coach liveries' date=' never mind the black and grey is duller looking than grey waste from a dishwasher.[/quote']

 

While enthusiasts may see it as an eyesore and unprofessional, I sincerely doubt that most commuters even notice. Im probably in the minority but I think it looks nice and clean. In fact it would be nice if they kept them clean - that to me speaks more of unprofessionalism... Of course this livery doesn't have any brand/corporate identity - but in a monopoly business it's unlikely to matter!

 

I presume these locos are out on test after being overhauled, some after a period of time laying about idle?

Figured it out - some photo hosting websites are blocked here - had to use a VPN to bypass it.

They look very nice - good work!

The pictures are just showing broken links for me...

Hi Jimbo' date=' The adjusted pricing reflects the fact that VAT is now included in the cost (so the price is actually €97.52 plus VAT at 23% Customers buying from outside the EU will pay just the 97.52 (so it's actually a price reduction from IRM's point of view )[/quote']

 

Wasn't meant as criticism, but thank you for the explanation!

 

What are postage rates for Non-EU as the website doesn't show?

 

Glad to see you have the market to make it worthwhile to do a rerun. How many packs are being issued this time?

 

 

 

Cheers.

Looks like there's a rerun of the ballasts with a selection of running numbers!

And a slight price increase....to be expected these days I guess.

From address pal website' date=' Think restrictions are the same as An post and royal mail. hope this helps. 20. Are there any restrictions in what can be sent using this service ◦ Yes, please see our prohibited/restricted list for more details at: www.anpost.ie/ProhibitedItems.

Thanks that was my understanding too. Some of the posts above suggested using it so perhaps they were lucky!

Does addresspal not have the same restrictions on liquids etc as the regular mail? Have people successfully used it for enamels?

Is it in a spray can or tin? Would Vinny not be able to Advise.

I've emailed so hopefully get a response at some stage. Just put it here in case anyone had experience with it. It comes in a spraycan or tin. Would prefer the tin!

Also anyone know what the 1K acrylic RAL paint from vinney Byrne would be thinned with?

Cheers

An old thread I know, but curious to know if anyone has used the railmatch acrylic line of paints. Like Noel I want to get the dirt colours but the carriage is pretty hot from the Uk for a few tins of enamel paint.

Have read through the acrylic v enamel post by Richie in the past.

I've taken a dislike to Vallejo paints/primers. Just can't get them to work. This is most likely a case of bad workman blaming his tools as I know there are many people out there who swear by them.....

Love the Tamiya acrylics. Mixes and sprays easy giving a solid finish - I have both their acrylic and laquer thinners. Using the laquer thinner seems to give a good bite into plastic and I use it to thin their paint to lay instead of primer on plastic models.

So before splashing out on the railmatch acrylic, I was hoping to hear if they are any good or not. Would rather pay the extra carriage for the enamel than for potentially unusable acrylics.....

Looks good Eamonn

Thanks for that, it's well written and easily understood!

Again, very nice work there and looking forward to seeing more

Nice work! I've a few bits of stock that needs weathering - would love to get a walk through of how you do it, what you used etc when you have time. Cheers

I based it on Popeyes pre-resin casting work....

It's a parkside Dundas chassis - only the sides were used with plastic strip added. The buffer beam is scratch built using plastic strip and white metal buffers. The brake gear is a mix of homemade and bits of kits.

Evening folks,

I built these about 6 months ago. Haven't had much time recently to get around to finishing them but thought I'd put them up in a hope to motivate myself to get stuck in again!

Both are resin casts from D&M with SSM etched additions. Chassis is heavily modified/scratch built to widen it and details added to make it look Irish. I think the brake gear gives them quite a 'heavy' look and felt important to add as much as I could.

The camera has shown a few areas which I can hopefully improve on in future builds....

I expect you've seen this, but about 4 pictures down there's a bubble with Irish cement markings.....
