Dunluce Castle

Helps a lot Dunluce, I have exactly the same crane laying around from years ago and I am now thinking of having a stab at replicating your effort.

All I can say is, go ahead and have a go, if you don't do successful, then just try again.

Many thanks

Nelson

THIS IS A SHORT VID JUST SHOWING MY IRISH ROLLING STOCK RUNNING ON THE LAYOUT.

Hi,

This will be last installment of tonight (until i make new models) and it shows my scratch built Brown Van and my converted U2 No81 Carrickfergus Castle.

Hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures, as much as I did, taking them out of the showcase and giving them a good run.

Any comments, advice or feedback is always appreciated, many thanks.

I like what you have done with the crane. What colour is it under the weathering?

Crane was originally yellow, then i painted dirty black then added rust paint and smoke weathering powders for weathering. Hope This helps.

Click on the link and you can see all of my current rolling stock.

Next two are a hand crane and a Midland Railway coach, which was brought over by the LMS to help with the shortages of carriages after the Blitz. This one is shown in UTA green livery, I have another one which I have yet to build.

Next is a NCC hand crane (a hornby repaint) and truck (I don't know how accurate the wagon is, but it looks good)

This is the next instalment showing my NCC wartime black U2 Dunluce Castle, and,

My LMS NCC brake van, which is a dapol kit heavily modified.

Hello everyone,

And welcome to my thread about my locos, here I will show all my current models and will add to it when I make more in the future.

I am no expert in any way, but with every model I make, i think I'm getting better. (The pictures will be listed in the order they were built)

If you have Any questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks

More will be added in a bit, along with a vid.

Very impressive work young man, very impressive. I have to say that I love the birdcage type brake vans. Welcome to the group by the way.

 

Rich,

Thanks, I enjoyed building the birdcage brake van, so another one might be on its way very soon.

15 years old and bashing the Brass, Fair play to you, I hope to pick up a few tips along the way!!!

I was surprised as well when I bought the brass sides, still have to learn a bit about brass, before I start.

Thanks

(Keep an eye on the Irish models section for my models soon)

Welcome Nelson.

You have talent, I get the impression you've learnt a lot from you're dad though I could be wrong.

Either way its nice to see another young modeller on here as it's what the hobby needs.

Especially one modelling Irish outline!

Thanks for the welcome and comment.

Your spot on, my dad taught me everything I know, but his specialty is military modelling and building layouts. Where as mine are scratch building and kit building railway items such as wagons.

Thanks (keep an eye on the irish models section where I will be posting my models soon)

Fantastic work

One question: would It be ok if I post pictures of my current rolling stock in the "irish models" section?, instead of my workbench thread (I want to keep the workbench thread for future projects)

Nelson,

 

Welcome aboard. Those lining pen skills are outstanding. Care to share your equipment and techniques? The layout is superb, and any lad that age with both the skill and interest in NCC/UTA/BCDR/GNRI etc is to be commended. Colmflanagan Mk II perhaps....

 

Richie

Thanks for the welcome guys

I wish I knew how to use a lining pen, but I use transfers instead, they look ok to be honest.

Colm has helped me lots with my venture into irish railways, so thank you.

Thanks guy, I like the video method aswell, far more easier to explain stuff.

Love the NER brake van Nelson, you have some great skills!

Thank you, and thanks for the sub, I appreciate it. (If it was you?)

Already on it,

Welcome Nelson, any pics of your layout? Lovely work on those locos.

Thanks, here's our exhibition layout, I might start a thread about it, don't know.

Hi, and thanks for looking,

And welcome to my workbench thread, here I will be posting everything that I will be working on in the future.

First thing to build will be a LMS NCC brake van, shown at the end of this vid.

And The 70 class will be started late this year, early next year, and the chassis is going to be used for a scratch built loco body to go on.

Thanks

Thanks guys, it's always nice to get feedback.

Excellent work Nelson & welcome to the site:tumbsup:

Thank you:tumbsup:

I feel like I know you already..

I have made 10 posts yesterday on this site, haha

Hello everybody

I had been looking at this site for for nearly over a year now, and yesterday I decided to take the plunge and join, and all I can say is that it's fantastic, with lots of inspiration and help, and I will be asking plenty of questions.

My name is Nelson and as you can probably tell by the signature below, I am 15 years old.

I model the LNER, LMS NCC and UTA, railway modelling has been in my blood ever since I was born, but I took an interest toward irish railway modelling 2 years ago, my locomotive fleet is very small right now but I'm hopping to expand it in the near future, with a 70 class and a V1.

Some people may think because of my age, I've had someone else do the job for me. But that's not true, all my models were either scratch built,painted or lined by myself (honest)

I will start a workbench thread and a thread on my models very soon, where you can all keep up to date with my loco fleet and what I'm making.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Many thanks

Nelson.

If anyone is interested this is my youtube channel, where I post videos of the RPSI, exhibitions and our home layout.
