    Cheers guys! I don’t want to hijack Paul’s thread so hopefully more pics in a separate thread once I get going again.

    Hi Paul, Yes I've been photographing each stage but am on a break at the moment for various reasons. Most recent ones attached. Hoping for more progress this month. Your most recent signal box photos have taken my breath away!! Happy New Year to you and to all members. Best wishes, Patrick

    Just catching up on the signal cabin Paul, jaw dropping!!! The windows just set it off perfectly, very BNCR/NCC! The whole thing is superb, well done sir. I have a smaller, GNRI, cabin on the workbench at the moment, have some work-related stuff to sort first then I'll hopefully be back to that. Looking forward to more pics from you!

    Looking forward to watching the progress on this, best of luck!
  5. Patrick Davey
    Yes indeed Paul, I shall share a few pics once it looks vaguely recognisable!!

    Love the cabin - currently building a GNR one myself, this is giving me great inspiration! Well done Paul.

    No need to apologise Nelson! Looking forward to further updates when you get back to it - like all your projects it promises to be a cracker!! Good luck

    Hi Nelson, just wondering how your BCDR brake van is coming along? Was looking exceptional in your last photo above!

    "Overlooking it all is the signal cabin, the last one standing belonging to the old railway line...." Nope - Ballynoe (just about), Killough and Tullymurry BCDR cabins still remain. The signal on the platform is an ex-NCC somersault, brought to the station by the long-time owner Mr. James Black who was an NCC employee, originally from Castledawson I think. I visited him and and his wife at Saintfield on many occasions.

    Hi Thomas, welcome to the group and well done on choosing such an interesting prototype - I'll be looking forward to watching your progress. Best of luck!

    As promised! I think she looks superb! Fantastic job by Colm Flanagan.
  12. Patrick Davey
    Thanks everyone, yip, top job by Colm - am collecting the loco tomorrow so will post more pics.
  13. Patrick Davey
    Thanks Tony! She could make a visit to Omagh North in the future! I drove through Omagh this evening and was thinking about your layout project - am watching it with interest!

    Absolutely delighted to receive a selection of photos from master model maker Colm Flanagan, showing the amazing restoration work he has done on an old Studio Scale Models brass kit of a GNR T2 loco. Here are 'before' and 'after' views - can't wait to give this girl a layout to work on, in the company of her OO Works colleagues! Many thanks to Colm for the great job!

    Very nice Tony - watching this one with great interest!

    So I managed to repair the drawbar of my OO Works UG, following advice from Roderick. She runs very well - was able to bring her to Colm Flanagan's layout this morning and Colm put her through her paces and she impressed his expert eye although the 'straw' lining was apparent to him immediately!

    Count me in for one of each Leslie!

    Queen's Quay actually JB, so even better than Dundalk's.....
  19. Patrick Davey
    So the broken piece of the drawbar assembly has been removed from the drawbar itself and superglued back into position. Shall wait a few days before screwing the drawbar back onto this. Come on folks, what about a bit of sympathy for this heart-wrenching situation???
  20. Patrick Davey
    Rebecca at OO Works has, in her usual very efficient and attentive style, responded very quickly with advice from Roderick that super glue should work here as it is a clean break. Will be a day or two before I can do this - shall keep you all posted.....
  21. Patrick Davey
    Yip as I said JB the light in the photograph makes a difference but it is most definitely not white. Pity about the damage - it's a really lovely model!!!!
  22. Patrick Davey
    My UG has arrived and straw gets my vote, see attached closeup - the light makes a difference: the lining on the boiler is a true reflection of the actual colour. However, disaster has struck - damaged in transit.......I have sent this pic to OO Works and await their advice!!!! It seems to be a clean break.
  23. Patrick Davey
    The connecting rod is easily sorted but am wondering....would running a yellow felt tip across the white lining soften the blow a bit? Or would a felt tip not 'take' to the model?
  24. Patrick Davey
    I don't have a copy of Derek Young's UTA in colour so can I ask is it the case that the white lining on the UG should be yellow/straw and the connecting rod should be red?

    Great video - enjoyed that, thanks Kirley!
