  1. i wonder do sound files exist for that and also for the sound of bin lids being hammered onto the pavements.....
  2. Crikey those vehicles really bring me back!
  3. Looks like a great show - sorry to be missing it this year but grateful for the photos here on the forum.
  4. The Countess has returned to the Nixon Works for some final detailing and her digital installation. That will leave just the separate etched name and builder plates to round off the build, as well as a cab interior and some other small fittings. With many thanks to Alan @Tullygrainey for this great work and for this clip of the locomotive running on one of Alan’s superb layouts. And huge thanks to Jamie @J-Mo Arts for doing the CAD of the locomotive, you did a fantastic job there sir! IMG_2745.MOV
  5. This is just stunning!
  6. Superb Jason - can’t wait to see what you do with that amazing space
  7. Fabulous model of an iconic prototype!
  8. My prediction was wrong but I am not complaining!! Thank you IRM!! Order placed!
  9. Mighty stuff - happy first decade IRM! I was actually right with my prediction of the 800s in March so I'll probably be wrong this time..... suggesting that Thursday's announcement could be a C class and Saturday's could be the Irish style of footbridge that was hinted at a few years back........
  10. Lovely stuff!! The station building is superb!
  11. No need for a caption!
  12. Noting the use of the plural there re announcementS......... happy days!
  13. This is superb George! Looking forward to the next updates.
  14. 1970s NI in glorious miniature!
  15. Looks great - excellent space too
  16. Some small painting details this evening - trying for a more matt effect on the smokebox and running plate, plus the dome has been brassed.
  17. A better representation of Magheramorne than Magheramorne itself! Superb
  18. Current status of the Countess - NEM pockets added, main painting complete, with just small details left. I was scraping the paint off the handrails prior to painting them, but I actually like them in brass so I might leave them? She hasn't been seen in over 100 years so who's to say they weren't brass Main black is Halford's Satin Black from a rattle can.
  19. I got a bit impatient today and couldn’t resist giving her ladyship some colours…. I have now put away the rattle can until the NEM pockets have been sorted. I have to admit though, the black looks pretty tasty!!!
  20. The ‘Countess of Antrim’ now has all her separately fitted handrails. I knocked up a simple plasticard jig to try and make sure the handrail spacing was consistent….. this was reasonably successful! I have given the buffer beams an initial coat of red: this will be added to tomorrow, then masked, before I start spraying all over black. The handrails and other fittings will be picked out in gun metal, and the dome and window frames will eventually be brass.
  21. Take a bow sir!
