I agree jhb, the Murphys original livery 071s do seem too orange, as I compared the photo on the modelshopbelfast website to my model of a supertrain 181, and it would appear to be the same shade. Considering the excellent standard of the Murphys 071s in general, I wonder why this was done incorrectly?

Those locos are fabulous! I'm fifteen as well, so they have inspired me to have a go at painting some stuff myself. Next time you paint a loco, you should make a tutorial thread, it would be really helpful to a lot of people

Thanks Lough Erne, very interesting. With RPSI loco Merlin nearly ready to return to traffic, maybe they should run a half and half 111 & 85 return tour to Dublin?
-
The wonders of progress, eh?
-
Unfortunately, I am neither of those things. Luckily though i found a book on the GNR and i think the timings were around 2 and quarter to 2 and a half hours
-
Hi there, Could anyone help me out, i am looking for the Belfast-Dublin timing for the GNR Enterprise around the late forties? thanks
-
I can see how it would simplify things once you learn how to use it. Maybe once i finish my IT GCSE i will be able to do something similar
-
Nice computer signalling, it looks pretty complicated though. What are the blue things in the second picture?
-
Yep, should be.

I run US HO diesels along with Irish oo, and honestly i think it looks fine, especially given that US locos are generally bigger to begin with. What you shouldnt do though is run HO & OO irish or british stock together, then the scale difference would become apparent

When i first started I was obsessed by Mallard, but once i got a hornby class 25, it all changed, and i have been a diesel fan since
-
Quick Question, I have seen photos of some 80 class units with a downward facing horn placed on the cab front. Do you know if this was only certain units, and if so, why did some have this, as it seems a bit odd?

The Flying Fortress that was at that show was doing a fly past at a US army cemetery near belfast yesterday, i went up to see it with my dad. Incredible plane, bigger than i expected too

Hi there, As murrayec says, model rail is a great magazine, but British Railway Modelling (soon to be re branded BRM) I also find to be very useful as a resource for tips and examples. Hope I helped! James

Im liking the containers, especially the tanks. Are they plastic?
-
The paper brick actually looks really well I think. It would certainly pass the '4 foot' test
-
Great photos, I love the back story, it brings the scene to life

Are there any plans for any of the belfast Christmas trains to be diesel hauled? -
I was thinking the same thing about an NCC jinty myself warbonnet. It would look good weathered up, I think
-
Do you mean CIE green or southern region green?
-
Bought 3 of these myself, pretty good quality and great value. According to a big discussion on them on RMweb, it seems most are being bought by modellers buying in bulk
-
No problem. If you watch the video it will tell you other products to buy that help with the weathering finish

I know its very early, but do you know if the diesel trips will be 071 hauled? -
I use humbrol weathering powders, they come in a good range of colours. I find them easy to use, and humbrol have some tutorial videos on YouTube that I found very helpful, as they show you the best methods
-
I noticed this as well. It sounds interesting.
