    Thanks everyone, yip, top job by Colm - am collecting the loco tomorrow so will post more pics.

    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.....

    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???

    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.....

    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!!!!

    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.

    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?
  13. 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!
  15. Patrick Davey
    Lovely model - looking forward to the video Leslie. Echo from me to JB's words of praise for OO Works!

    Photos now on the OO Works website, in the 'News' section. As much as I have little affection for the UTA, the lined black livery looks very attractive. Another superb model, mine is in the post!

    Cheers - won't make it to Raheny, do you know how I can contact Chris? Thanks again

    Hi all, I'd be keen to obtain a Silver Fox NIR Hunslet in maroon livery - if anyone has one they'd be happy to sell, I'd be happy to offer it a new home! Thanks, Patrick
  19. Patrick Davey
    Looks very well - well done!
  20. Patrick Davey
    Ha, 8 years this Tuesday! A new layout.....possibly.......
  21. Patrick Davey
    Nice photos Leslie and thanks for the observations on performance. Good move to photograph her in the daylight, I think this really shows that OO Works have made a fine job of the livery!
  22. Patrick Davey
    Oh good grief my U Class arrived. I am in love........
  23. Patrick Davey
    Just been drooling over the new photos of the U Class on the OO Works website. The model looks superb! And it has the rivets on the tender......
  24. Patrick Davey
    Same here Leslie! Can't sleep.........
  25. Patrick Davey
    The pre-production model looks superb to me so I for one will be thanking the very friendly people at OO Works for supporting the Irish railway modelling community with this very welcome initiative
