Got a snap of Greystones too

Just spent an hour painting ties with one of these: http://modelshopbelfast.com/index.php/woodland-scenics-tt4582-track-painter-weathered-tie.html To my eye looks a huge improvement on the black plastic look, but then I am half blind Will wait for it to dry before I grab a few snaps

Brilliant thanks for the advice!

Brilliant Bren - do you airbrush the weathering on after the ballasting and did you paint or spray the rails before ballast? Thanks again! It's looking awesome!

<facepalm>

Whats your preparation tips on the ballasting and concrete ties? Looks amazing!

Loving it!! Ballasted already!!

Many thanks! I might take a run around Greystones with the camera so!!

Hi Josef IE primarily thought I will likely model one station as NIR Any ideas where I could find photos of the caws equipment?

I wonder do they walk up and down the track pretending to be locos

Some notes I found. RAD CH x (yellow border): Tune train radio to channel x. I think there's four different channels. CAWS C1 or CAWS C2 (blue border). Set CAWS ADU to specified carrier. C2 on lines in and around the DART system, C1 elsewhere. ETS: Start point of mechanical signalling NO EMU TRAINS (amber border): Means what it says, no electric trains beyond this point, Used on the extremities of the DART system and the non-electrified junctions around Connolly. White circle with black W in middle: Whistle board (NIR only) Black and amber stripes: Whistle board (IE only) The CAWS, RAD and ETS boards also have versions with a diagonal red line through them, indicating that CAWS, radio coverage or ETS is unavailable beyond that point. Speed limits: Permanent speed restrictions (PSRs) are indicated by a number contained within an octagon. Temporary speed restrictions (TSRs) use four different signs: The first is a triangle with blinking light and speed indication underneath. This is an advance warning board. The second is the letter C with the TSR underneath (the commencement board) The third is the letter R in a circle. This is a Reminder board. Not all TSRs will use this one, it's generally used at stations to remind the driver to stick to the TSR after departing the station. The final one is the letter T. This is the termination board, marking the end of the TSR.

Answered my own question. TPWS and AWS north of the border and CAWS in the south

Am I correct in saying IE doesn't use TPWS?

Irish?!

Sorry lads. Some over eager security settings Should be all good now!

Mocked out the boards for the right hand loop and steam / preservation depot:

Sounds like an issue with your ISP, you could disconnect and reconnect, or reboot the PC will fix it

Can you try that now heirflick?

Just spotted a notice from Hattons: Murphy Models MM0112 Irish Class 071/111 diesel locomotive "Northern Counties" in NIR blue livery (as on loan to IE) £125.00 Our latest information from the supplier suggests this item will arrive with us on or after Thursday 1st November 2012 Whilst we are hopeful this information is accurate, manufacturer lead times are frequently prone to be delayed. This information is to be used as a guide only. We hope that this email has been useful.

Wow! Well tasty!

YouTube you can embed here allright but any vid would be cool

I'd say a roof is a year away Priority is a running loop now

I've been experimenting with polyfilla. The problem is that the proper terminus concrete laid stuff, has the chairs and rail mounted to the concrete. I can't reproduce that look at all using peco track and filler / etc. So I'm going to compromise and use regular ballast in the terminus roads, and do a good job of the over-roof to make it less obvious

Any pics of the lamps in action ?
