Also on the workbench this week were these two gorgeous GNR(I) bus models from Sunrise Models of Scotland, joining a BritBus double decker. Good to have a productive week at last!

On the workbench this week was a Silver Fox C class locomotive body shell, finished today as the class leader No. 201. A nice kit and I think SF deserve our gratitude for supporting the Irish scene for so long

A few videos of movements at the mill: https://www.facebook.com/brookhallmillmodelrailway/videos/1064353050641840 https://www.facebook.com/brookhallmillmodelrailway/videos/590414148848172 https://www.facebook.com/brookhallmillmodelrailway/videos/648827232798648 https://www.facebook.com/brookhallmillmodelrailway/videos/315087106839022

Definitely worth looking up, the chap who runs it is called George Heaney and he is very decent and very attentive to his customers, very highly recommended!

It’s a real pane…….. sorry

Am very slow with the updates, apologies. After the excitement of the A class arrivals I had promised myself that I would get started on the mill buildings proper, so that's another promise broken.....but with the prospect of live shows returning maybe I'll get the courage to start... In the meantime here are two smaller (and again non-steam) projects which I have been working on in recent weeks: 1. Two lovely GNR(I) bus models from Sunrise Models in Scotland: Flip close ups really show what needs fixing - thank goodness for the '2 foot rule'. Glazing and dograils left to be added, the glazing is proving as intimidating as tackling the mill buildings...... 2. A Silver Fox C class loco, with chassis kindly provided to me by Eamonn Redmond - thanks again Eamonn! This is my first attempt at a loco kit - not that there is much to be done though other than attach the bogie sides to the bogies and apply the livery - early silver for me and the loco will be finished as class leader No. 201: my tribute to a loco which met an untimely end near Newry in 1973.

Kind of gutted I have only noticed this thread now, but what a treat to be able to enjoy all these incredible photos in one sitting!!! I've just lost half an hour..... but what a great half an hour!! Truly awesome stuff - inspirational! Isn't there an O Gauge NCC Jinty coming to the market soon....... <<thinks of future projects>>...... Looking forward to further updates and I love the clever name too!!!

This is superb Kevin and I enjoy your updates. Your prolific output is putting us all to shame!

Superb - thoroughly deserved!!!!

Wow the signal cabin is incredible!!!!

This is a great thread, thanks for starting it Kevin, from one musician to another! Your buildings are superb and I can identify with the interest in that taking over from the actual railway!!! Keep up the great work and please keep the photos coming!

Brilliant Noel

Lovely building!

Could you give me my breath back please John......

Cream actually Leslie..... These are super wagons John, looking forward!

A masterclass Noel - thank you.

Am sure the fish will be interested in the scales.

Super pics! JB what would the lighter livery colour be in those photos?

Same - A3 with the lights....wow

Has to be the ultimate in realism - exceptional images John.

Simply jaw dropping, both loco and trackwork!

Exactly my thinking JB......

A quick look at Google Earth's historical imagery shows vehicles identifiable in 2003, but now the site has been drained........

Very dramatic shots - like some sort of 'apocalypse' movie scene.......

Truly amazing photo JB! Superb view of Drogheda South cabin!
