    Looking stunning!!! The pace of work is mind boggling (and guilt inspiring )

    The videos look impressive, but ripping up vast sections of laid mainline isnt an option for most people

    There's an old thread here about it, now gone to the big layout in the sky http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/232-Ye-Olde-Kids-Layout

  5. BosKonay
    Interesting alternative to adding weight to the loco!
  6. BosKonay
    Ah - Just stunning!!!

    I've a whitemetal 121, not motorised so she can 'double' with the 141s... Still, you have to make sure she's well tucked behind so you can't see the comparison

    I seem to recall Paddy Murphy having a hand in it.. Great 'fun' sets - prototype be damned
  9. BosKonay
    Just brilliant What a treat!

    We're spoiled with Paddy's work, but with a little attention the old limas scrub up well ! Here's 217 on the old layout.. She'll still have a place on Amiens, tho probably it will be on a 'sound barrier' line than in active service

    The nem coupler is a specific design - you need to squeeze the end of the coupler that's sticking out behind the nem socket, the entire coupler then should slide out with next to no force required. You can see from this image, how the coupler fits into the socket, then the two 'prongs' open out to hold it in place. Squeezing the prongs together should release the coupler.

    Very nice - did you drill the nem pocket and simply screw in the kadee 20?
  13. BosKonay
    To help with lock, you can remove the springs from the buffers, or ensure the 'face' of the kadee is lined up with the buffer when extended. That way you should be clear for lock!

    Oh yes http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/770-ROTEM-Livery-Mistake

    And by Craven I mean mk2

    Sounds like lovely work Riversuir! Any chance of a photo?
  17. BosKonay
    nasty! Is such a case, I'd be inclined to super glue the kadee to the underside of the craven nem pocket.
  18. BosKonay
    Beautiful. My favourite livery too!
  19. BosKonay
    Gorgeous!
  20. BosKonay
    The issue isn't really the kadee, but the fact that NEM isn't adhered to 100%. So some manufacturers coupling sockets are higher of lower than others. For the cravens, I got away with bending the kadee slightly, or slipping some thin platiccard under the coupler.
  21. BosKonay
    Ah! That makes sense!! Stunning looking models!
  22. BosKonay
    Wow, wow wow, that entire scene is just gorgeous!

    They 'scrub up well' with a little work, though the underframes are incredibly basic compared to Paddys work. We're just so spoiled these days with so many top-notch RTR diesels!

    I guess boxed sets like the one on ebay at the moment are selling purely to collectors. I've probably got 6 'running' Limas, as opposed to the boxed mint ones, which have been weathered, detailed, etc, some even have DCC chips installed on the old Lima motors. they still sound like tractors, but look good
