:pOoops. They're made by a US firm called SCT, bought by Wabtec some time ago. They're called the Barber Easy Ride Bogie - BER for short, and here are the drawings. http://www.sctco.com/images/PDF/GA%202.0m%20bogie%20lever%20push%20brakes.PDF

Sound's a bell Ger, they'll do nicely.

Flashback virus last month, clobbered 600,000 of those bloated & over priced iTurds. Windows 8 beta unfortunately.

The bit at the top right of the map.

Rotten luck. Is it a whole DMU or a DCC Chip gone?

Here's a snap of how crap Bachmann Y25's look under a scatchbuilt Taglo Pocket Wagon. I get the feeling at times we're working in Narrow Gauge! In other news, a little project for a layout ye are all familiar with. Another few hours and she'll be done. Anyone know where we might source scale victorian lamps and brackets, and possibly hanging baskets? No joke! And a few 40' High Cube Containers for another Container Terminal Layout! There's only 2 pieces of light reinforcement inside, but it's sturdy! [..and the parts for four Connolly sheds to the upper left....] Richie.

Some of your best work, no question. Richie

Lovely work indeed. Keep it up!

Christ that's shameful. I'm a fan of good graffiti, but mindless tagging like that baffles me. They should be taken out and be beaten with a fish...

Looking great Bosk! A few weeds at the end of the freight sidings and the tracks will disappear nicely Plus an excuse for the weedsprayer! Richie.

Forgot this site. You'll need to register first and it has a 15 mb daily download limit. Something for everybody..! http://www.cgtextures.com/ and search under landscapes.

It's not easy by any means. I've done a bit for getting photos of brick and stone textures for platform facing, the track side finish beneath the platform edge. Doing a canal wall suited for a eight coach train and stitching the hundred of photos together is no fun. If you wanted to give it a go you'll need a large open space in front your subject. You'll need to zoom in too to reduce the curve of straight lines so you can stitch them together. A spot like a canal, public park is perfect and a photo needs to be taken about every 5 metres, moving in a straight line parallel to the scene. Then stitch the photos together like this. http://www.fantasyjackpalance.com/fjp/photos/composites/index.html for more that might suit. Richie.

Super Job again! Tell uzz Anto how the hell do you do the silver trim on the coach windows? Masked off or a decal???

"Everything is supplied bar paint and labour." Classic

Quick suggestion. Perhaps a crossover from line 1 to 2 in the container yard, at the end, so that an incoming loco on road 01 can detach from its train, and run around road 02 to do other things. Also, the outside line, road 3, a spur off the entry road to act as check points, and a loco storage road, or it could be a refueling point for the diesels? An unused turntable at the end...? Might add a bit of shunting fun to things? Richie

Fabulous, the combo looks the dogs dangly bits!

I'll happily break out the big guns with Seamus ..... bring it war bonnet! Lol

I'm not sure if there is a system wiggy. My little layout is based on the quays in Dublin circa 1970's, and I've had to strip the rails from flexitrack and set the gauge manually and in fill with the gaps with 1.5 mm mounting board. Painful when it comes to points. It looks daycent though. Richie

201 - cost some dafty decided to stick her on an antonov and fly it here. Nobody ever did that with BR diesels. Queen of the diesels. End of. 121 - Every time I saw her at Lmk Jct. was different, 2 cravens and jenny from lmk, cement bubbles, waiting to rescue some other bird on some other road..... Ugly duckling who never got the glory she deserved. 071 - King of the diesels, and by association his small brothers. He could of been painted white and still been king. Will outlast 201 by 70 years, in memory at least. BCDR no D1 - a workhorse of queens quay yard, harland & Wolff, precursor to the BR 08 Class. Iconic and forgotten. D300 class,on par with the above, except she may have lasted a hell of a lot longer shunting carriage formations around heuston, and had a bit more appreciation, except for CIE's nonsense. Everything else is only a turf burner......Except for Maedbh 800. Why she is in cultra escapes me.

Ha ha!

Heirflick, your passion for yellow railway stuff never ceases to amaze and amuse! Richie

Was it called "Lamb" 1985, or was there a whole plethora of misery films before I was born?

How did I miss this?!?!?! That photo is burstin' at the seams with atmosphere, definitely going to filed under NBW! [nice bloody work] P.S. what's yer man up to at the grounded wagon/lineside hut? Look's like he's caught short Richie.
