    Augmenting the rail service tonight at the mill.
  2. Patrick Davey
    Great progress!

    Sometimes you get an idea for something, you try it out, and it doesn’t work. This one did though! Open panes in the large window above the vehicle entrance to the mill Detailing can certainly be addictive!

    I enjoy this part - blending in the buildings. I also enjoy adding a sneaky filter.....

    Consignments starting to ship from the mill at last……

    Another achievement this evening, we now have opening doors in the old building:

    Now at last I’m starting to get this area looking the way I want it to. The backstory here is that the building on the left was an original pre-railway building and the buildings on the right represent an expansion of the site under the GNR(I).

    Yet another change of direction for the louvres……. the Wills sheets weren’t quite co-operating, proving somewhat brittle and snapping when trimmed, something I have noted before if Wills sheets haven’t been used in a long time. Anyway, I had to resort to plain plasticard……. the old faithful never disappoints!

    At last - progress with the seemingly never-ending saga of the louvres….. I ran out of corrugated tin though so an alternative from the Wills Range was used instead. Still more work to do, might add more louvres to fill it in a bit more.

    Is it true that the fertiliser trains mostly ran after dark, to take advantage of the cheaper nitrates? (Getting me coat........)
  11. Patrick Davey
    Smaller price anyway!

    Interesting discussion folks! So a 'small' announcement tomorrow....... I wonder is BK's use of the word 'small' a bit mischievous...... Or maybe it's an Irish narrow gauge announcement.....

    Lovely video - what an amazing railway journey that must have been.

    Patience is boring

    Ok folks what's the story..... there had been a few less-than-subtle hints on here recently about new goodies.....powered goodies...... yes the magnesite wagons are awesome but not on my geographical radar and as for the Deltic..... admittedly I have been drooling but unless Boris gets his bridge or tunnel completed AND re-gauges the whole of Ireland (or GB) then I'm unlikely to have reason to run one..... Yes we got our AAAAAAmazing As and now our 'across the water' colleagues have their DDDDDDDelightful Deltics so surely it's back to us again.........

    Just ordered a load of stuff which will hopefully see me through to the completion of all the buildings on the layout...... fingers crossed......
  17. Patrick Davey
    Exactly the current plan Mark!

    Sadly completely closed Noel

    This should be of interest - the chap who took the photos doesn't name the station on his Facebook page for fear of attracting vandals (although it's pretty obvious to us Northerners!) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=UrbexForgottenUlster&set=a.2083544058510177

    Now that's how to do it - simply superb scratchbuilding! Looking forward to further updates.

    His 'layout' kills me

    And depending on how the wind is blowing, he says 'Remain'........

    Well the louvres didn’t work….. they all fell apart! I had made a card frame for them to fit into but I don’t think the glue and the material liked each other I had left it all overnight to cure but when I started adjusting it all this morning, it collapsed This small build really is putting up a big fight

    Managed to grab an hour or two today. Wasn’t totally happy with the paint finish so I have darkened it down a bit which has improved that I think, and I’ve also started working on the corrugated iron louvres for the upper windows. I haven’t quite measured these properly so I might have to redo this later. Or maybe the irregular lines are more authentic?
  25. Patrick Davey
    Not my area of interest but this looks fantastic, the Deltic too!
