Hello everyone,
earlier today I finished off this commissioned model of a U2 locomotive "Dunluce Castle" an I have to say I am extremely proud of her and I hope her new owner is happy with it.
Apart from all the transfers, I added a new handrail, new smoke box door and steam pipe, added cab detail (although hard to see it is there) and lots of other small detailing parts such as the brush and frames under the boiler.
Many thanks
Nelson

Not that I know of, apparently there aren't any pilots that can fly these beasts.

I'm near speechless, this diorama is just wow.

Scroll to the bottom to see the finished product I'm sure it will amaze you all.

Yep it comes off the 2P donor model.

Hello everyone,
The 8 plank wagon is now in the paint shop and has base coats on, I will get a picture uploaded shortly.
I've started on another project which is also a commission and this time it's a model of U2 class "Dunluce Castle" from a mainline 2P locomotive, so far I've applied all the decals but they still require varnish, that hopefully will be done tomorrow, another thing I have done so far is modified the smoke box door, removing the clips, shed plate, number plate and adding a smoke box hand wheel, the wheel itself took 30 mins to make and it's made from 20tho plasticard, im really happy with it, the door still needs sanding in places then will be painted tomorrow.
Many thanks

Thanks everyone, is there a kit for the H van?

Thank you to all who have commented, I am honestly overwhelmed by your kind comments and support, (and not to mention all the inspiration that you guys provide) I believe that I wouldn't be able to do any of the above without any of you guys, so I thank you all very much.

Thank you 33lima for your kind words.
I managed to get some work done tonight finishing off the brake vans and starting a new kit, this time it is the Cambrian LNER 13ton 8 plank wagon, I just need to fit the headstock/buffers and brakes then she'll be ready for painting, this one went together beautifully, no hassle what so ever.
Many thanks

Hello everyone,
Sorry for not doing an update sooner but work was rather slow due to the wonderfully hot weather that the country was having but it's started to cool done meaning I can now work
The 6 GNRI have progressed rather well and are now nearing completion, the coal wagons are complete, the cattle wagons just need their roofs painted and the brake vans just need handrails painted.
Last week I started on another wagon which is a LNER loco coal wagon, I'm rather happy with this one as I bought it off eBay for cheap but re painted and weathered it and I think it looks rather nice, the other one is a LNER 5 plank Cambrian kit, some of you may have remembered that I started this but never got the chance to finish it so I finally did.
Many thanks
Nelson.

I'm sorry for interrupting gentlemen but that image that 33Lima has posted is rather interesting, is it a book? And is there any similar to that one of the MEDs showing steam locos?
Fantastic information btw gentlemen,

Our layout will be making an outing at the coming carrickfergus show, I hope to have a couple of new wagons and get an ancient hornby D49 running, see you there.

Nice video mate, nice mixture of pictures and videos.

Fantastic pictures, am I the only one who thinks the sealink livery would make a very nice unique model
-
Absolutely beautiful, well done sir, I love that crest.

Ahhh then I can't see any problems, I was only wondering that If they were second hand then probably they would have been modified, have you made sure that there's no other way electricity can access the siding?
-
Hornby or peco, second hand or brand new?
-
Oh WOW, absolutely beautiful.
