Impressive - enjoying this one!

Thanks - got sorted

Nice - were these your longest prototype? Longer than the Deltic?

Another work of art Kevin and I am humbled by the mention! That definitely looks like it will be very sturdy, with the substantial internal bracing, it will probably last longer than the original! Fantastic work once again.

Coincidentally, I was at that very station - Upperlands - last week, hoping to be back next week for a proper look, but I do believe the original door is in place on the goods shed, and there are other surviving original features as well. Plus, don’t forget the work that Mr. Weaver and the team at Brookhall Mill did during WW2, supplying the Americans

I know it’s normal enough for threads to ‘branch’ off in other directions but jeepers folks this is on a new level altogether

The van was a scratchbuild by another mega-talented guy, Gareth Brennan, who is to plasticard what Alan is to brass!

Knockloughrim had a very special visitor today, BCDR 2-4-0 No. 6, recently built by Alan Nixon @Tullygrainey This really is an exquisite locomotive which definitely needs to be seen to be fully appreciated!! And it runs like a dream too, even on DC! A pleasant surprise was that the sound chip worked!! No. 6 confidently steaming through Knockloughrim earlier this afternoon: 6- - 1.m4v

Big shout out to Alan Nixon @Tullygrainey for giving U2 4-4-0 No. 80 'Dunseverick Castle' a bit of TLC for me, with a good clean and lubrication. She's running like a dream! KLM - 1.m4v KLM - 2.m4v

Superb Kevin!

Impressive research as always @Mol_PMB - looking forward to seeing lots of excellent models developing from your considerable efforts.

Wait until you see Mr. Weaver next time......

Yes, iPhone, but sometimes happens with uploads direct from the laptop (MacBook Pro).

Morning folks - I have an intermittent issue when uploading a video here on the forum. Either it works fine and the clip is embedded properly, and plays fine within the post...... or... it displays as a grey box with the name 'FullSizeRender.MOV', it doesn't play within the post and instead the clip downloads when clicked on, and you then have to play it as a separate file on your device/computer. Then sometimes the 'Full Size Render' thing later reverts to a normal embedded clip..... It sometimes happens when I view other members' posts too. It might be an issue at my end - grateful for any advice! Lots of great content at the moment, thanks everyone, and continued thanks to the moderators too.

Very interesting! Good luck with what is an excellent project.

Love how neat the line is between the yellow and blue!

Love your work Kevin, excellent range of prototype subjects and all modelled to perfection. Great stuff - looking forward to more updates.

The waistcoat and tie are ok - they were painted with enamels

Yes, he’s not very happy, he hates the NCC and his mother insisted that he bring her to a retreat in Cookstown, and she had him so demented that he ended up going to the wrong station for the journey home…..fell asleep and only woke up after Magherafelt

Mmmmm nice! Has it been the victim of a rough shunt though…….?

Well, before things get out of hand, I’m going to have a hot beverage. Would you like some T2?

S please!

Yes I suppose ‘U’ could have seen them anywhere “Taxi…….”

Well, hats off to David @Galteemore for the tip off about the RBAI railtour to Kilrea many Januarys ago!! You were spot on David and I spoke to a contact at the school who was able to unearth some very rare footage of the trip, and you’ll never guess where it was filmed……. The tour did indeed feature an ex-GNR U class and there was also a second outing, the following week, which featured an ex-GNR UG….. Coincidental or what!! ~~~ And yes folks I know both locomotives could do with being lubricated, and yes @leslie10646 there’s one of your GN passenger vans! Very rare footage from the aforementioned RBAI railtours: FullSizeRender.MOV FullSizeRender.MOV FullSizeRender.MOV
