Well done to Gareth and Anto. They are cracking models from two great modellers. Rich,

I should also add that we have been trained in interrogation and we make Seamus's (user) namesake look like a choir boy. Anto now has a big thorny stick as well as a weathering stick. Rich,

There's another few names added to the little black book. Gareth and Seamus, I'll be watching. Rich,

Top work my man, keep us updated and keep the pics coming. Rich,

Fran you have even got me frothing now. Do you get the models from the U.S Fran or more locally. I have a bit of a fondness for the Baltimore and Ohio Railway myself. If I had the space I would love to model something like Keyser yard in the late fifties with lot's of SD7-SD9 locos, Alco switchers. Rich,

He seems to be a fan of your work Anto. You better look out mate or you might end up having a stalker . Rich,

That's a pretty accurate sound recording Eamonn, just like I remember them. Rich,

It's absolutely necessary as it helps the gears to mesh. It also gives the lubricant time to get into the areas of the gear tower that it needs to. Rich,

Declan you can remove the whole bogie sideframe unit with a little gentle persuasion. You will then have access to the wheelsets, gears, pickups, etc. Rich,

Classic Seamus, :ROFL: :ROFL: Rich,

Top notch work as usual Anto The flaking rust looks spot on, well done mate. Rich,

Whatever you decide Conor please keep us informed . Rich,

Well how about the weed spray on the viaduct Seamus. Eamonn has the prototype and you have the model in your's and I think that would be a nice compromise. If not I'll send my MIL up to Port Laois and she'll give you a run for your money :D. Rich,

Cheers Csalem, those 201 underframe pics you sent me are coming in very handy. Rich,

That has the look of becoming something special Dave, I love it well done mate. Rich,

My lad loves it too Stephen so we both have a few heirs. Rich,

Looks excellent Des and I wish you every success with it. Rich,

Thanks for that Eamonn. Rich,

That cattle wagon looks nice Dave. Is it an original tooling or a repaint of an existing model. Rich,

They look the business Noel. Rich,

For Lima coaches I would go with the Keen Systems close coupling units. They pull apart on curves and close couple again on straight runs. Rich,

Very region specific as well Mark. Rich,

Amazing model and a good find Stephen. Rich,

I had a good look at the 0 gauge 111 at the Wexford show and it is a beautiful model. I love the 141-181 class models as the prototypes were my favorite loco's. The models set a bench mark at the time for any 00 gauge diesel model that had been released by any manufacturer. I still think that it holds it's own even today. However if the 071-111 turns out like I expect it to then it just might eclipse the baby GM's. I can't wait to see a fully painted production model. Rich,

Don't be too hard on her then Anto, agree about the coal it's the one area that let's down a lot of steam loco models. Rich,
