Dunluce Castle

Looking forward to Saturday as well

Thank you guys for your comments and Mike neither could I, which is why I've used a GBL (great British locomotives) static model with a Bachman jinty chassis

It's a fantastic shop, so is modellers nook

Thanks enniscorthyman ^ Here's a sneak preview of the engine I've been working on whilst waiting for some good weather to spray. Nelson Edit: there's still alot of work to do, no where near finished incase anyone was wondering

The engine is coming along really good, nice one, I wish I could build brass kits, there seems to be more variety offered in brass. In the pic above the engine does look black.

Thank you gentlemen for your kind comments, glad you all liked the video.

PM sent

Google maps will give you an up to date track plan in so much detail,

A rather late video from me.... [video=youtube_share;xQz5yPNNgbk]

Thank you Kirley, I'll definitely be buying more for the future.

Thank you Hunslet, I'm currently undertaking a conversion of a C class into a GNRI PG class, but I don't see it being finished anytime soon, I still need to collect a lot of parts to make it happen. But in the meantime I've been working away on some wagons which just need a day of good weather so I can spray them.

Lovely model frank

Thanks for correcting me Colm, I'm such amateur haha, and that's a great pic JB, you don't mind if I save them for personal use?

Great pic of draperstown

Thank you fellas for your comments, I appreciate them, I will do Popeye, after I finish all my other ones that need doing.

Thank you David ^ Hello fellow modellers, Just a real short update, I think this is my first parkside dundas kit and I'm already lovin them haha, this one went together superb and having the bearings/wheels included makes life alot easier Thanks Nelson Disclaimer: yes it's the wrong colour and yes the lettering is incorrect, but rule 1

Amazing work on those coaches, truly amazing

To me this is fantastic news, although 3D printing isn't quite perfect yet this is very promising for the future, take a look http://www.steamtrainsireland.com/news/ the RPSI are taking scans of 10 vehicles and using it for their museum but also as stated "This project can also be seen as a pilot for making the entire RPSI collection accessible digitally. These assets may also have the potential to generate income for the RPSI through generating small scale models for sale, virtual objects or perhaps future files for 3D printing." Are possibly making 3D printed models to sell, and maybe one day you can print out your very own GNRI V class

Very true John, something for the future. The book "UTA in colour" covers this topic quite well and provides livery details for the 3 engines.

Thanks Kirley, I like the livery a lot.

Amazing work

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your comments, the lining transfers are fox transfers and they are rather tricky to apply and take a while to get the transfer where you want, although when you get past all that they do look the part and when varnished, blend in nicely.

Hello Gentlemen, Mock exams are over and I have about a month of freedom now until the next exams are up, but for the past few slow months I've been working on this, it's a 2P conversion into a NCC U2 class, one of the early ones with extended cab roof, and she is in UTA experimental olive Green livery, I've used railmatch paints and lining transfers for the lining, even tho I did buy a lining pen it wasn't very successful so I'll need more practise with it, but until then it's transfers for now. Only 1 U2 class was painted in this livery and it was very short lived, the other 2 locos that received experimental green were a mogul and jeep, all 3 locos done in differnt shades of green. The loco is now ready to go back to it's original owner. Sorry for the poor quality of pics, dunno what's up with the camera. Many thanks Nelson

Very sorry to hear this JB.

Maybe "rare" would have been a better word than "collectors" Do you know how many different wagons were made by MIR Wrenneire? It's a pity they aren't still going.
