Hi all, Here's a little taster of what's to come. It's the test version of the Barrier Wagon Water Tank. More detail to follow in the coming days

I've ordered my set. Very tasty looking!

What's wrecking my head is that even the 80's stuff looks a lifetime ago. Never mind the 60's. Definitely getting old...

` Ivan, I very much appreciate that Thanks a million, Regards Des

Shem, I figured a Bullant would make an appearance! Lovely job Cost c.€73? Were you caught for tax on importation? How many axles are being driven with that tasty job? I ask the questions as if it's just one powered axle, then a Black Beetle with one of the axles de-wormed might be a credible alternative, though at €55, there's not a huge saving, given the Bullant is completely customisable.

What a collection. Total treasure trove. And large format colour format too.... Arrggggh!

CG, Worseley's kit contains Sides, ends, roof with etched rainstrips, floor and six wheeled Cleminson chassis SSM's (mine) includes the full kit. Whitemetal axlebox/spring 6 gas lamps - center 6 buffers 4 torpedo vents 12 vacuum pipes 2 gas cylinders 2 brake cylinders 2 gas level gauge 1 water tank filler 1 guard’s side lamps 2 styrene for partitions glazing strip phosphor bronze wire 2nd/3rd Class suburban seats Requisite 10BA and 12BA brass nuts and bolts And I also supply the wheels at an extra €4.50

Well, I've just ordered one of each off Seamus. They are LOVELY looking!! It's been said before and I'll say it again. If you thought ten years ago that you'd be having high end 141s, 071s, 201,s Cravens and MK2s with Bachmannn horsing in high end resin irish buildings, your head would have exploded on the spot. Especially given teh size of the market. We're lucky lads all the same.

What was the catchphrase on the old Amstel Lager ad? "This is going to be great!!"

It just shows how much lovelier a nice D17 will be

In fact it might be better to look at variations of blue-grey, rather than grey. Particularly if the road is made of limestone chippings as a lot of smaller non-asphalted roads would be in the Republic.

That's the thing. A road is not matt black and white markings. Best advice, go outside, take a photo and then look at the result. Multiple shades of mid and light grey. Very fine black wet and dry sandpaper is useful as the road surface that you can then airbrush to get that graduated look. The off white marking (white and tiny bit of brown) can then be finely daubed on.

At least I know that Boskonay is not monitoring and monotising my traffic, assuming copyright on any photo uploaded and hammering me with ads. Facebook? Nein Danke. Oh, most importantly, gorgeous model!

He's a very forgiving Sensei, Dave.

That really is a great photo. It looks like a quality diorama layout.

Jayz John, that's very tasty. Really looks the job. Yes, I'd be very interested in sorting someting out!

John, Lovely job and a most unique way of using the castings to get the side wall detail. Congrats.

Youch! ASBO, 6 months in the 'Joy or armloss? It's clear which one would prove more effective....

Horsetan, thanks a mill for this, very much appreciated and I will take you up on the offer, anything that makes construction easier is very much welcome, and your construction thread certainly does this! Happy new year.

birthday greetings Patrick!

Well boil my leg and call me Brenda. A new FTLA for me (Forum Two Letter Acronym).

That is a class layout. What with the music at the start, I almost expected Michael Portillo to pop out all miniaturised a la Bernard Cribbins. Very impressed by the embankment up the back of the station with posts and fencing and long grass (0:36). Great attention to detail, and even the road and surrounding houses look "right".

OT? A very good question. Superheated only, but you've just added another item to the "to-do" list. I WILL do it as a supplementary kit, given that I have done the same for the B4.

Yes it is.

Horsetan, great photos, now that I can see them, I'd the same issue as the other lads a few days ago. Looking very well altogether and very self explanatory. Well done sir.
