Been laying track like a madman - finally reached the over stairs bridge....
Big push tomorrow, and I'll take some photo updates, perhaps even a video.
Though of course now that its down, I'm not 100% happy with the curvature of the mainline around the station throat
Does anyone know what the small metal clamps behind the modern buffers are? I assume from their appearance and location they are designed to 'brake' the buffer should it ever get hit and move?
Don't suppose anyone makes a whitemetal or something version?
Example of the concrete block type http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway%20Stations%20S/Sallins/slides/Sallins_20090601_015_CC_JA.html
(probably easy enough to bash?)
I love buffers
Would like to open a chat on the various options available for modellers - from 'RTP' (ready to plonk) to white metal kits, brass etchings, resin castings - that represent irish or irish-able buffers in all their glory
Some general updates, have been busy mainly laying mainline!
Some shots of the now complete station throat / junction with the mainline and a relatively quiet terminus with a single A rumbling on platform 5 with a local service.
.. Planning, a years work so far and the efforts, help, advice, stock painting, weathering, baseboard building and modeling of a great many members on here too
The mainline now stretches from the main terminus throat around to Blackrock Junction, double line, and in the other direction all the way around to the branch junction just after the viaduct, and just before the incline...
