Thanks for all the comments guys.

Stunning Anthony@!!@

 

Do you have kadees on the bagged cement wagons?

Stephen I run fixed rakes so the the 2 end wagons have Kadee's fitted and the rest are fitted with X10633 Hornby couplings

Are the PW wagons a kit or scratch built? Top drawer modelling there.

The PW wagons are 60' Genesis white metal kits soldered together and then the usual painting and weathering.

Brilliant set of recent images Anthony! The shed area looks great. What did you use for the paving?

Wills cobbled stone sheet.

PW Staff get ready for a busy weekend also Bedford TK

2 beautiful engines, the weathering finishes them off nicely, btw what engine did you use for 85? Looks the part.

Bachmann Branchline 31-931 Class 1000 Midland Compound

Merlin getting ready for the RPSI tours over the weekend

Another thread that has turned into a stick the knife into Silverfox's back. It's simple if you don't like their models don't buy them. I know a lot of people in this hobby and their are very few of them that don't have something from Silverfox in their collection. If there was so many people unhappy with their models they wouldn't be selling any. People are buying them so they do have a place in the Irish market regardless of if their models are right or wrong.

NIR Hunslets 101 Eagle and 103 Merlin arrived into Ballykay shed tonight for a once over and refuel

Very nice

Thanks for the comments guys will try and get a video knocked up soon.

A few shots from the other evening down on Ballykay

Great feature on Arigna Town in today's Railway Modeller

Inisfree ain't to far from me unfortunately wrong side of the country

Completed

A little touch of the Hunslet maroon/red and some De Dietrich Enterprise purple. What a fantastic modern livery to bring the Enterprise into the 21 century. I wonder who takes the credit for it NIR or IE

It looks fantastic, Stunning

JHB sincere condolences to you and your family.

You'd be a Guru yourself if you posted as many positive comments as you do negative ones....

Anto, what's that got to do with anything, I don't care if he' s joined the clergy, or KKK if he's still available to talk !!! Then ask him, or ask him to contact me please, please,

Paul

He no longer produces models. Maybe the mods might now delete this tread.

Happy Xmas guys

Thanks Anthony but the chassis are level, it's the vacuum cylinders on some wagons are sitting to high, above the wagon floor level, causing the containers not to sit flat.

In the picture below Kieran it looks bent to me. The next time you call down bring them with you and I will have a look at them for you

A bit of constructive criticism Kieran. I would say looking at your photos of your wagons you have used way to much heat in the same place for to long when soldering your wagon chassis. There for you have bent all the chassis. Very easy to see in your pictures when you place a container on them. Unfortunately bent chassis will give you very bad running. It might be best to us Glendergs method of gluing them until you improve your soldering skills.

Thanks Guys Happy Xmas

An early Xmas present from my wife. 222 was renumbered 215 and new Irish Rail logo applied. Unusually for me this one is staying clean. Just a little smoke on the exhaust.

Wow fantastic workmanship
