Dunluce Castle

Hello everyone,

Sorry for not updating sooner but the extension is progressing well and the bridge is now finished. And I think it looks fantastic, well done dad.

Many thanks

Nelson

Ps: for some reason I haven't got any pics of the extension so ill get some soon.

Thank you

Sorry for the lack of updates, but here she is, an NCC open wagon, the body is a Dapol one as it is a very close representation to those used on the NCC.

Many thanks

Nelson

It is a respray.

After watching the video again I have to agree with 73.river.roe. You can just about see the livery.

Looking forward to seeing it again.

Absolutely beautiful, great job.

Hello everyone,

Here's the latest project, it's a LMS NCC open wagon, everything that is white in the pics below has been individually cut out from plasticard sheets, a timely process but it looks the part.

Thanks

Nelson

Fantastic

They are only waterside aren't they tho?

I love the pressfix transfers, they are the ones I used on this van and there is literally no carrier film and no need for varnish. Absolutely fantastic.

I know, I'm the same, I've thought about using them for a Y class (Jinty repaint) as they should be the right size for that.

Railtec only sell NCC tender locomotive letters, they have coach transfers but they are over scale.

Thank you Murrayec for that, I will get a chance to read it properly very soon, it looks very interesting.

Thank you Cg-Antrim, the transfers for the "LMS" were HMRS wagon transfers and for the "NCC" it was also HMRS but private owner lettering, but it's not worth it, I've already run out of "C"s as they only provide 4 "C"s in the sheet, the rest of the sheet is just the rest of the alphabet, so I may need to find someone who does custom transfers.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, much appreciated, thank you.

Yes please murrayec, it would be interesting to see what's needed.

Glenderg posted my video there, but as you say it's not enough to work from, sorry.

It's coming along very nicely, I've got a video that shows roof detail, will that do?

Brilliant storage boxes David, all so neat and tidy, great idea.

Hello everyone,

Here she is completely finished, I've decided to keep her in ex works condition as I love the uniform look of the grey.

Many thanks for all your support,

Nelson

Thank you David for your comment and kind words, I must say I've never thought about making a resin casting, it's certainly a good idea and I must re-search into it, thank you.

Thank you scahalane

The van is so nearly complete, just final touches and transfers then she'll be finished.

Please don't feel like that Stevie, everyone can do it, just takes time.

Certainly cg-Antrim after I come home from the club

Thanks glenderg,

Thank you Hunslet

I've decided in the end to have her as ex works, and not weather her, I love the grey that she's in.

Thank you murrayec, I'm thinking of building a few more seeing as these were common in NCC days, I'm now not sure to weather her or not?

Complete and ready for painting, ignore the roof, it isn't stuck down yet, I'll do that after painting.

Note the handrail on the right hand side, a nice small feature.

Thanks

Nelson
