  1. Neither can I. The boy done me proud!
  2. Much appreciated lads. Good to know what it's for, and inverting the image is a new trick in the box for me.
  3. I bought the digital version of the four off him (well they were only 50p each, and they're not too bad. Might chase him up for higher res, as there is no detail in the dark when you dicky around with the image....
  4. Hi all. You will be delighted to know that three etches have now been sent off for check and approval to the manufacturers this morning. -Oil Tanker detailing -Pocketwagon detailing -New Cement Bubble detailing The draft sheets have been returned to me already and I will be able to check them this evening. Once confirmed, they should be available for purchase in three weeks.
  5. Attah boy Robert!!! Now, less drooling over the keyboard and wide eyed, anticipatory rubbing of hands if you please. There may be children watching. ;-)
  6. And that's the truth. Range 320 miles cruise speed 122 mph fuel capacity 1409 litres So roughly she will consume over 530 litres (€800) of fuel per hour. No wonder helicopter trips cost so much...
  7. 3.5 tons weight....seems light for th esize of it, does that include the engine? Could it be made airworthy???
  8. Well, if you like building things prepare to pay good money for MIR and NNK/MTK kits. These went for good prices: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MODEL-IRISH-RAILWAYS-LOCO-KIT-for-a-GENERAL-MOTORS-B121-CLASS-LOCO-00-Gauge-/310554923026?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item484e841012 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MODERN-TRACTION-LOCO-KIT-for-a-CIE-C-201-CLASS-IRISH-DIESEL-LOCO-00-Gauge-/290838962134?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43b75a5fd6
  9. Lovely collection there lads...
  10. That's a lovely layout, it looks "real" and "right". Welcome onboard, you can now formally say goodbye to an hour every night cruising this forum!
  11. Nope, not me. A complete edit wipe wouldn't be my style.
  12. Ahh that would explain why in the editing history, when it was deleted, he had it back up in a shot....
  13. Stunning viaduct richie. And full on scale as well. The tapered cast Concrete look is totally fly!

    V. Tasty! Nice clean lines there and the colour looks good. Don't underestimate "having a go" I started out in the hobby just over 7 years ago this month. Couldn't get the transfer packs i wanted so "had a go" at designing my own Didn't want to spend €550 on a 15 rake of MIR bubbles (€1.50 to the £ at the time), so "had a go" at designing my own etches and used Kinder eggs. Got an S Class from Paul Greene and loved it so much that when I heard SSM was for sale, said "what the hell" and bought it from him. Go for it horse. ;-)

    As long as 'Er Indoors doesn't find out, all is well.
  19. Nigel, just bring them back on stream! There isn't a 70-80's layout that would be complete without a bedford school bus. ;-) Regards Weshty.
  20. Lovely photos, but does ANYONE have an up close and personal of the underframe box?

    Enjoy it Kevin, and remember if you decide to get the SSM EGV, it comes with all the bits. Colour photo instructions, transfers, plastic fibre for the exhaust pipes, roof detailing, door steps, glazing, wiring, and the sides are precurved for you
  22. Many thanks sir. A question for you. Bandon tank B4 No.467 appears to be a dark blue-green in 1953 in Colin Boocock's Locomotive Compendium: Ireland (P.43). Is this the case or just slide colour abberation/degradation?
  23. Bloody hell, that is a well done scene, I thought the first two shots were the real thing. Very very nice.
  24. Thanks Glenderg. Yup, this guy did one of the finest builds I've seen in a long time, and his photography is first class. He was also good enough to let me use the photos as needed, very handy, as a photo is worth six paragraphs of description. If you do decide to go for a kit, I'd start with a tank, (T2, J26 or B4). The J15 is a little bit trickier.
