Lovely, thanks TDR, I also see some white metal MIR kits going for sale on eBay, is this also from the same person? If so that's a great move because making the range available online would be so much handier.

I would love the owner to be on this forum, just so they can advertise what their intentions are for the range (ie, are brass sides coming back, any resin or just whitemetal?)

There were two Colin, one standard one and a high sided one often known as a bread carts for some reason. You can get the smaller one as a resin kit from golden arrow models and it is suitable for use behind V1's etc however for the U2's you need to scratchbuild it. The reason why some U2's had the old tender was because they were from the U, and U1's when being converted.

On another note, if you want to model a U2 (or mogul) with a Stanier tender, you cannot use any that are RTR this is because the length is longer than it should be, to fix this you can either cut down the length of the tender or by a brass kit from brass masters.

Hasn't this kit "been on the cards" for a while now? There was talk of it when I first got into NCC modelling, now somewhat 4 years ago.

That is correct Paul.

Oh wow, spot on with the colour, very nice.

I was very surprised to see that each of the 3 NCC number plates went for 500 or less each. There was one for sale last month on the mainland and it went for £750.

Number plate 100 I thought should have sold for a lot more, anyway if I wasn't a student and not saving up for uni, then I would have definitely bid, ah well plenty more time left.

Hello all,

I just came across this absolute gem, although some shots I have seen before the footage from the cab of WT is just priceless.

Good luck everyone! I won't be able to bid but will keep a wee eye on the online bidding, will be intersting to see what certain lots sell for.

I would also like to kindly disagree, I think the GNRI has probably the largest range of wagon, coach and loco kits along with numerous other bits and bobs.

The three NCC number plates are looking very nice indeed, now I need to decide whether to register or not hahah.

Thanks for the heads up, just taking a wee look now, but one thing that stood out is that this is never going to reach that price, it's only a wagon plate.

Wow that makes a huge difference, well done, superb!

Very nice work indeed.

Hello all,

This may be a bit random but I found it extremely interesting and thought I would share it with you all. I know very little about electronics however I found the process to be incredible. The video also gave me some astonisghing insight into how easy it is to make your own phone if you know where to look.

Simply stunning

Hello everyone,

I thought I would share with you all how far my BCDR brake van has progressed and as can be seen from the photo I would say that I am half way through, there is still a lot more work to do, but thankfully Easter is here so that means two weeks off school. The body and chassis are still separate and probably won't be joined together until just before painting.

Thanks for looking!

Nelson

That's a lovely setup you have and I would be sad to see it diaspaper, how about converting it into a exhibition layout, then you can have a roundy roundly layout?

Both still for sale, price now £38 each

The first acknowledgement that I got of these locos was from January last year in this thread. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/5251-OO-works-announce-GNRI-U-Class?highlight=works

Very nice indeed

Have you thought about insulating the brass roller? I've read elsewhere that if you do not then the cloth can get worn away and cause shorts.

Looking good, please do post photos of how they look coming off of the machine.

I have just received Steam's Last Fling today and I have to say, I really do like the way it is written and I really do enjoy reading the personal observations, it really does set the scene for someone like me who was never there. Looking forward to a couple days of reading.

Hello All,

I have advertised one of the locos before but it never actually sold so I'm going to offer it for sale again, also above this I have another 2P for sale.

Both in good condition and run just fine, if you want any more photos, close ups, or a video then please do not hesitate to ask. Both locos are DC.

I am looking for £40 each ono. Postage will be £4 and you can pay either with cheque or through PayPal.

Thanks,

Nelson
