Dunluce Castle

I have got all the plans sorted out, but if anyone has any photos that they'd like to share then please feel free,

Many thanks

Absolutely beautiful. The interior is superb, a real credit to you, well done.

Captures the look of the 80 class perfectly.

That looks absolutely beautiful, the paint job is amazing, well done mate, the hand painted NIR logo looks superb.

Can't wait to see all 3 cars finished.

I agree the under frames are the hardest part of a wagon to get right, due to the lack of plans and photos which show under frames.

My wagons are built on Dapol RTR chassis although I have thought about using Ratio chassis in the future.

Hi,

Many thanks for your help guys.

I will make another NCC brake van soon, a 10 ton one this time and follow your advice.

Yes, Popeye I have seen those drawings in the resources section before they are top notch.

If anyone has any more info on NCC wagons? Then do please feel free to post.

Hi,

I'm hoping some people can help me out here please.

I'm wanting to make a rake of 15/17 NCC wagons to go along with my (not yet built) NCC U2.

I have looked through all the books and done some research but all I can find are vague photos showing wagons in the background.

So if anyone has any plans or photos of NCC wagons could you please post them here or send me a PM.

I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks

Nelson

Here's some of my recent work,

Hi,

I haven't started the 12 ton van yet as some much needed research needs to be done, like detail on the under frame.

But I have started another side project to keep me going.

It's detailing a dapol 5 plank wagon.

I know it looks messy but it will all be tided up later on,

And I know i should have used brass, but I haven't got any so. I decided to make do with plasticard.

Any comments, questions, constructive criticism, etc... Please feel free.

Thanks Gordon71 thats the job. I love that 80 class in departmental livery would love to hear her running.

Your wish has been granted,

What a superb diorama, really beautiful work there.

Superb work, everything looks so realistic.

Here's some inspiration for you, if you don't mind.

Some great shots there, I've been filming the sandite myself recently.

Superb

They look superb, an absolute credit to you Lima33 for producing such beautiful models of what was an amazing DEMU.

Hiya, I had trouble with it as well

Edit: answer has been removed sorry.

Simply amazing

Thank you mate

Is it alright to start a layout thread here on the "irish model layouts" section, even though the layout isn't irish it's LNER?

MIR 121, current bid at a staggering £1.24

Wow, 30 bids and still 6 days to go!

This is going to be an expensive one.

Absolutely beautiful wagons, superb work, well done.

Short vid, showing some of our rolling stock running on the layout today, hope you enjoy it.

More brilliant work, very nice indeed, will there be passengers? (PM sent)

Edit: brilliant link, very informative.

Wow, you can really see how different lighting effects have a huge impact on the colour of the model.

Loolink forward to seeing this one, Nelson, as I plan on making a few GN or NCC vans at some point.

 

There are some good colour pics of (I think!) NCC goods vans in:

 

'Irish Railways in Colour - a Second Glance' - p.143; and

 

'The UTA in Colour' - p.76.

I have the UTA in colour, but I didn't think to look in there, thanks i'll have a look later.

Hello fellow friends,

As Halloween approaches, school is off for 1 week (yay) which means I can get down to do some serious modelling. What I'm hoping to do, is to start work on a LMS NCC 12ton van. A very unique van.

But as with every model, re search is key, to get as accurate as can be.

I look through books and websites along with photos to see if I can get any info or pictures on the prototype. I was lucky to find some plans on this brilliant website, which I will be working from.

An order will be placed for more plasticard and some roof ventilators for the van in due course.

Thanks

Nelson
