Duff's Camera & Model Shop Wexford Street, Dublin
Weshty replied to Weshty's question in Questions & Answers
Trains, Boats and Planes in Cork for me. 1982. Spent my hard saved cash on two Lima irish green coaches, signals and powered lima points. Got them for my Irish Freight Set bought in Dunnes the previous Christmas. Soon to be followed by a Class 25 freight set (with working loco lights!! And a Bernard Russell record) bought in the Monument House in Mallow the following Christmas. -
Hmm, I'll put some photos up on SSM to show where everything goes.

Has anyone heard of this delightful emporium that was open up to the late 80's(ish)? Would love to know more about it. Apparantly the owner is big into larger scale garden model layouts?

Murphy Models 071 - New, detailed pre-production photos added!
Weshty replied to Admin's topic in Irish Models
Mmmmm. A freight, IE, IR and Supertrain version to be got as well as a weathered IE...hopefully. -
Right. Enough of this chat about donor chassis et al. Here's what you are going to be putting ON your donor chassis. Need to start forming the compound curves and getting the ancilliary bits, but we're getting there.

And "pure true"!

Website uploaded, if anyone has any extra info on the brakevans, let me know and I'll add it on.
-
Most excellent. A session with Dreamweaver on the cards so this evening to get those photos up...
-
Veeeery nice. I was thinking,the lights on that new Paddy Murphy Freight 071 looks great and then realised.."it's an MIR kit build....awesome!"
-
Lovely, lovely job, may I add it to the proposed Brake Van page on SSM? Full accreditation all round....of course! I particularly like the Works Stencils finish.

071. Nothing but nothing has such a ballsey look and sound. Hard to call it a she after that really.... B4 bandon tank. A beautifully dimensioned loco and iconic representative of the CBSCR. D17 uniquely irish and a great runner 201 Modern Power and elegance. 800 Maebh aesthetically elegant and strength to match Honourable mention to the 171 Sliabh Gullion, simple elegance and a beautiful livery and the re-engined A Class. It did exactly what it said on the tin, even if the design was a little bland.

Now this is a track-laying machine!

Mind blowing, superb example of automation at its best. They could use it on this line.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUCU2...eature=related -
Have to agree, but to misquote Fr. Ted, "aren't they ALL lovely buses...."
-
Awesome work Richie, what cad package do you use?

Weshty replied to Flying Scotsman 4472's topic in General Chat
That mid '80's episode got right on my tits. Here we were, one of the first countries to convert totally to diesel (and american ones at that), and they deliberately go out of their way to make it look like a 1940's timewarp. At least the Quiet Man had the good grace to be set in the 1920's. And of course we won't talk about the episode of Mission Impossible set in Ireland, softcaps, grandfather shirts and a green white and gold stripe down the middle of the bar floor to seperate the "tribes". -
Looking at the selection of photos I have, it's a mixed bag, some have some don't (rotted etc.)
-
Great work Wiggy, it's everything a layout should be, big, windy, multilevel and the potential for lots of fun!
-
Sound man. The wobble went very well. Several pints of Smithwicks' finest and er' indoors quality cooking. Bliss.
-
and here it is... http://www.irrs.ie/Journal%20150/150%20IR%20Signalling.htm
-
Glenderg, that is EXACTLY what I propose, with a few tweaks to ensure the 90 degree angle between top and side, a coupler base and non wobbly rotation. Pints...58 minutes and counting...
-
Hi Anthony, That's the thing, they have to be built right and aligned correctly and some modellers just may not have the confidence or skill to do this. I intend to cater for both, if possible, but my first priority would be for an easy construction. Now...countdown to Whit weekend pints at 6:00 starts now....
-
Richie, I don't doubt the flat was a nightmare, it's a fine piece of work. I have a brass etch for the 42" designed that will provide a fair representation of the underframe. The main body is a two piece fold and slot construction with ancilliary detailing. I imagine that the Y25s do look small but they are reliable. The feedback I have received in designing this is that the wider whitemetal equivalents can be poor runners around points. I intend to provide the Bachmanns as standard. Availability of a more correct whitemetal/brass variant (WBV) would be very much based on just how many people would want them.
-
Never mind the spoil wagons, absolutely class job on the 42 footers!
-
Wow. That's a high quality donor. Let me guess, a butchered modern Hornby class 31?
-
Heh! No bother, I need to make up some of my own and put them on the site.
