Jayzus, take that quote out of context (along with the brake fluid) and we'd have the Special Branch down on us like a ton of bricks...

I'm loving that last photo with the A Class coming out of the tunnel. Loads to see, and I like the way you have the fencing butting right up against the level crossing. As well as the rural backdrop, sweet.

Coming to the discussion late, but Richie pretty much nailed it on the head in terms of turnkey costs, from R&D to the final decal. It really does add up. I'll have easily hit four figures before the first ammonia is sold.

Lovely job!

Viele danke, mein Kerl!

Must concur, very restrained work there. Lovely job. The coal load looks just right too.

Heh! Is that a classic 20th century gate with twisted decorative work I spy in the background

I'm thinking the same, it looks like the cover of "Rails through the west". Total class. It also gives me an idea for a section of my proposed layout.

Nice shot there bosky!

A sulzer at 15:46 mmmm.

Ahhhh, that's the job, non-archival photos of freight work. Lovely.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm nearly there in terms of laying down the final design and dclosing this project out. However, training for a charity cycle from Ennis to Dublin on Paddy's day has been eating significantly into my time for the last 12 weeks. Cough! All contributions welcome to help the under 10's Clarecastle GAA would be very welcome.

Now that's damn tasty.

Wowza. What a fab little kit, great etches there, and great work there George. Mighty detail for an N gauge kit.

Nope, all true, Richie has it bank to rights (thanking you sir). I specifically designed the 42' NOT take 30 hours to construct. All it is is a top with foldable buffer beam ends, foldable spine and foldable bogie sides. That provides 90% of the model. All the rest is just essentially detailing and it's designed to be glueable (or solderable if you so wish). You will also be able to build the original flat solebar version and the later curved solebar I was one happy bunny when the test version came together just as I had envisaged, and has allowed me to tweak and correct a few minor bugs. I'm glad that the updated site has whetted your appetites! I'd been meaning to edit it for a long time.

Well up lads, looks very tidy altogether!

C-? It looks pretty much like the real thing David to me. Superb work. Inspiring.

Brilliant, the germans on the Fermoy platform are borderline Pythonesque.

I can almost hear the lad with the crutch, rattled with the DTs, shuffling up to you and asking "Fugga, sorry bud, wouja, wouja have any cheyange dhere playazz?"

To misquote dear old Flann O'B, you sir are a prince amongst men. Genius work.

Ah stop that now. Getting me all upset before my Thursday night pint(s). (Where s<=5).

Ahh, got the Airfix 1/24th scale Stuke for my 13th birthday. I was almost sick with excitement. The detail! Glass sight in the floor, glass crosshairs on the end of fthe machine gun with a working spherical pivoit in the canopy. Oh the humanity.... Thanks for teh detail on teh bayonet happy irishmen, jaysus, one can only imagine.

Good heavens, just what did 200,000+ annoyed paddies with guns get up to ???

Is that a colourised version? I thought it was a b&w film.
