The degree of detail on the bogie axles alone is terrifying. A quite astounding production.

 

I'm not sure, though, if the Ministeress of Domestic Matters has ever heard of Balfour...

Let's be honest. Wouldn't you be just a tad freaked out if she DID know chapter and verse about Balfour?

Transfers for those would be nice.....

That is some tasty CAD detail. If that's all going to be on the model, hubba hubba!

And if the proof of the pudding is in the eating, then the goodwill on this project is reflected in the number of kits preordered. Money where mouth is etc.

Looking at these pics I would say that it arrived from Waterford with 134 leading. It came off the Waterford line and pushed the train into the junction where the locos were uncoupled, ran around and re coupled at the Mallow end with 144 becoming the lead loco.

Rich,

Those are two absolutely cracking photos. Good lord but the 121 must have nearly a foot over the 141 roof profile...

Yup. that'll do. Nice. Very nice.

Ahh lads, sure it's only every third or fourth that has the solids in it......

Sweeeeeet!! And you've decalled all the window stickers as well. Your patience knows no bounds. Looks loverly.

God God, I thought it was a particularly curly coprolite for a second...

Lovely lovely job Kieran. It's a nice kit and suitable paint job. Looks very well.

Richie,

Really delighted for you and Illona. It's wonderful news, maybe her first prezzy will be a little tank engine rather than a "My Little Pony".

Niiiiice. Very well done, good backgrounds make all the difference.

Mmmmmm. Just such a lovely loco. well worth getting.

Wow, scratchbuilt steel (?) with multiple compound curves. Superb stuff. That's throwing down the gauntlet.

I think they were to allow cooling of the brake lines, but don't quote me on that!

Heat venting indeed, didbn't one or two have bogie fires in the mid Noughties?

Belpaire SLNCR, beeeeootiful. I hear you about Christmas, planned loads to do, but all came to naught...

Your bookshelf is mighty similar to mine, all the classics.

it doesn't like sharp curves, though you wouldn't expect it to, to be fair.

JB, I ran Eamon Kearney's 800 at the Dublin show, and it found 2nd radius Hornby curves quite tight.

 

Let's get back to discussing the G'n'R U'n'UG classes;)

I just had, so the moment of levity stands

Awkward: the '90's

Add a raising inflection and you have Miriam O'Callaghan down pat, as in

Genuinely, the '90's??

Wow

they are working out at around £350 per with another €13.5 p&please

Expensive yokes

Agreed, but £350 sounds so much less than €500. Ouch.

That's a Unit right there. (buddy of mine when getting his house built found EVERYTHING cost at least €500, hence "t'was three units....t'was just a unit etc.")

You ok with the punctuation there JB?

Clucking bell, that is not good.....

Sweet job Kirley, looks VERY well. A fine blend of John's design and your application.

With other ideas in the pipeline, not at the moment.

Just to add my tuppence, those windows were the devil themselves to model. Definitely an offset rhomboid of types.

Not helped by the fact that the lower face of the loco is faceted but above the windows is compound curved. You are only now noting the fun and games I had back in 2012!

Take my breath away. That's the finest piece of work I've seen in a long time. I had to do a double take on the second picture. And the way you've integrated it into the attic space, I can only imagine the work on this Scaha. Faultless.
