Thanks Dave

Hi all, just so you know, I have stocked up on castings and etched parts, so ready to supply your 101 kit needs. To be clear, the kit is resin, but all the roof detailing, walkways and grills are brass etched. The buffers, bogie sides and fuel tank are cast metal.

Joseph, can you email me directly and I will sort you out. I've been involved in a project that has had me working 16 hour days for the last couple of weeks.

Hi all, I have got the website issues sorted, just some small adjustments to be made. Thanks for the help all. Yes, I have a range of Bredins (3rd and composite) and and can look at relaunching them, but may have to do a minimum purchase pack to make it work. Let me know if that is of interest. Regards Des

I have the transfers / decals for the GSR ...so if interested!

Nice one John. I did some outline etch designs for the Laminate underframe some time ago, as well as a master for the CIE version of the Commonwealth bogie sides. My main issue was to capture the roof and side strapping detail while keeping the build and solder work required relatively easy. (ya know, cut, bend, bolt or solder with minimal parts). Like yourself, floating rather than progressing it (just too busy on other projects currently). But who knows!

There is one of these up in Howth as well! Delapitated but extant.

Definitely a new transfer set or two. Just need the interest!

That photo is striking. Pin-sharp and great colour. It could have been taken today only for the COMPLETE lack of uniforms and PPE. The lads look like like they're doing a bit of work in between saving the hay and heading off for a sneaky one.

There's the makings of a good reference book in all those fine photos, great work done in collating it.

I still remember the sense of wonderment when Paddy's 141s first became available. They really were next level compared to anything else that was on the market at the time.

Lovely looking loco and very well prepared photos. Atmospheric....no pun intended.

Oh my sweet giddy aunt. That really looks fantastic. Well done sir, well done! I was marvelling at your interior work, and had forgotten that when I designed the kit that it included all this detail. @Mol_PMB Yes, the kit is designed to be able to take a 35mm wheelbase Black Beetle. I bought one for test fitting just to make sure. Some googling shows that you could use a Tenshodo equivalent motor bogie. http://motorbogies.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=304

Typically a friction fit. And superglue the inner edges for extra security.

That's a very cool implementation of 3d printing. Coming up on 17 years since I bought the SSM range from Paul. A complete gentleman.
