Flying Scotsman 4472

Wow is all I can say:)

Thanks Bro

Yeah actually that's true... the lime ones don't have bar and all in them do they? They both just have the normal seating plan I think?

What do you mean lime ones are you talking about Mk4's

Great look forward to it

Not sure which looks better, 461 or 217

Ah they both look great;)

Super Guru BTW did you get my PM this morning still finding my way around

Great to see this Wrenn!

 

Welcome to the world of tomorrow (er, DCC, too )

Say nothing yet Stephen he will still be looking for the wind up key on the back of the hand held controller :D:D

BTW what comes after Guru 500

Mrs. BosKonay is the UBER moderator

Your like the rest of us you live in fear of her in doors:D

You've been busy since I was last there Dave

Mothers in law are barred and as for moderating the super moderator his wife calls the shots there

Started my Helix to level 3 recently over the next few weeks I'll post up some more pics

When the layout is finished you will not be able to see the helix

Here you can see the Helix starting at level 2 and the final hight for level 3

If you look down through the helix you can see the lower helix (with track) which takes you from level 2 down to the storage sidings on level 1

Got around to making some rock embankments from Styrofoam. I still have to add a little more colour to the rock. I have also put a small station in the corner as a filler. The lower tunnel heads of to the lower helix and the storage sidings. The hillside will continue up to hide the upper helix.

Bloody hell Anthony - that's a monster! Great work!

The quality and pace of your work is putting us all to shame Sir!

What techniques have you used to weather the track? Looks amazing!

Level 3 will be at eye level. But I'm 6'3" so some of the guy's will need to bring a box to stand on when they come to see it. I'm taking A4 Mallards advice on the height and building it to suite myself as I will be spending a lot of time running it.

Looks like it's going to be amazing fun to operate!

I use phoenix precision and railmatch track dirt for the sleepers, to give me some contrast I use these 2 colours in different areas these are airbrushed on. For the rails Phoenix precision yellow rust painted on with a fine brush

Looks like it's going to be amazing fun to operate!

Level 2 will be double track main line running, level 3 will be typical Irish country side single line with a station passing loop and sidings and a small town scene

He needs a step ladder for top level he's put on. Mind you, even I need a box!

Nice work man, you're certainly working fast and it looks great!

I'm still waiting on you to call up with some of those nice locos you have and give my track a good workout

ooh that's tasty

 

But we're off topic so shift over to the models area please

Sorry Boss I blame Dave

The last pic you sent was A3R. I will flip a coin for the R

If you don't want to run say super train with todays liveries just do what I do and keep every thing in a cupboard and take out what period you want to run.

Mid night oil this week

NO end of May if your lucky. Did you pick a running number yet? Flat out before the Royal visit on Friday;)

Thanks Dave for that.I am thinking of selling 201 and 217 with boxes but detailed at one end.

217 is mine Bro will hook up with you soon

I hope to get a copy of this book Enniscorthyman says its great

Was doing an all nighter painting

Very nice

About bloody time, did you bring the stereo.

 

Rich,

My stereo is on wheels will this do

Thanks for that

Would you have a rough price bracket Retro

Yes I did see what was posted up in the middle of the night. Some people have little to do

A one man production line Anthony! The job on 012 above looks amazing!!!!

The customer supplied me with the photo above as they wanted 012 to run with tara mines wagons I did for them before. 012 was the last A Class to work the Tara's and they took the picture on that day. It took me a long time weathering this one as I wanted it to look just like the photo supplied. BTW the customer loved it.
