The presentation, packaging, attention to detail and ultimate finish of the thing leave most manufacturers locos looking like cheap toys!

Postman just arrived with a pressie for me!!! Haven't been this excited about a loco in a long time!

Thanks :)After such a long 'hiatus' it's nice to be back in the groove http://www.cripplebush.net/quarry-walls/quarry-walls_category.htm is the source for the rockfaces if anyone is interested.

A business getting Busy and a new little girl - well distracted I was Luckily now the business is calm and the little girl madder than ever (but loves her trains )

Surprised myself with a couple of hours in the attic this evening, so managed to clear away the board and do some more work on the backscene. The rock faces are a mix from Rubber Rocks, a US corp, with an initial filler of polystyrene covered with Hanging Basket Liner. Lots to do, but progress feels nice!

What a stunning lick of paint - one of the best colour likenesses I've seen! Good work!

I only have the Murphy version and they are all a joy. Great runners, fine pullers.

Nice one Broithe

Due to some human error in the config it wasn't possible to post anything in 2016 until the post above. If anyone has dates of events or shows do by all means feel free to add.

Something no doubt in the branding scheme

Considering the 'decals' have been mounted, it looks 'finished'?

Should work fine, once you have allowed cookies and the privacy settings are not too high (or you are browsing in private mode).

Oh she is that - well worth the investment tho, in play value alone

Hi lads, For obvious reasons, I have a rake of 13 ballasts that may be of interest. On Dapol chassis, metal wheels, and NEM sockets, with Shapeways bodies, all are weathered, finished and decal'd. Will add photos of the rake shortly... would be a nice addition to any layout, or could be easily hacked into gypsums, etc Asking a steal at just €350 for all 13 including courier anywhere in the UK / IE

Couple of videos of the Veisseman in action on Amiens St [video=youtube;WNn-USD0WTk] Shes small but not as bad as the Bachmann tamper - which is massively underscale (even for HO)

I must update that thread to add the photos of the finished kit!

http://www.britanniapacific.co.uk Not strictly Irish but several can be made to work and all OO I have an NIR APT. Will find the link to the Italian brass kit maker.. Otherwise poke Glenderg. He makes a few yello bits

Wow! Just absolutely perfect!

She is indeed The two top sidings allow for just over 4 foot of train between buffers and points, so lots of room for shunting and loco release movements

Right there with you Sir

Not the best photo, but gives a feel for the branch. Mainline climbs away on the right into the tunnel, Viaduct is off scene below right. The two lines bottom right are the branch back to the mainline and the headshunt with the shed and 5 lines into the sidings and station visible... just about... More anon!

Lol, dunno what it is, but if it keeps them interested, I'm all for it To be fair to him, he's a City supporter, not united
