Flying Scotsman 4472

Some photos of NIR 111 class (111, 112, 113) knocking around Ballykay this weekend. All 3 locos are in various states of weathering, with 113 being the youngest of the class both north and south of the border she is slightly cleaner that the others. Red warning panels were repainted day glo orange and faded on 111/112. Enjoy

Fantastic video. As murrayec said the girl had the patience of a saint planting all those flowers

Lovely work

A cotton bud lightly dampened with white sprites will also clean the wheels

Thanks josefstadt and all the other members who helped answer my original question

Sorry to hear of your loss Seamus.

I was thinking that myself but I wouldn't have thought a clearance run would have been put on the back of a normal service running at speed.

If you look at the video at 1min 25sec you will see an Enterprise crossing a bridge. Can anybody tell me why there are 3 Mk3's attachted to the rear of the NIR Mk2 rake

It was a pleasure to work on your kit Leslie

Rule of thumb is for every 100cm you climb 1cm. You can go 2cm for every 100cm but you may find some steam locos may not pull a train up this. Diesel locos should be ok up to 3cm in every 100cm providing there are no sharp bends on the incline but this is quite a steep incline.

I think that Volvo driver on Ballykay took those 4 tablets

Richie God only knows what you could find down the lanes around Ballykay=))

Saturday morning at 10am I started out with just bare boards. The track had been layed a few months ago so it was time to get some scenery done. Some nice green fields a bridge, hedges etc etc. Here are a few photos of what I've done today. A few more hedges and tarmac have yet to be added so I will post up some more pics when I get that finished. For any of you guys who have been to see my layout this section I am working on is the upper deck against the back wall. I picked these two up in Warley so Ballykay had to get its own lovers lane. Who said Volvo drivers are boring

Thanks guys hopefully if we get some good weather I will photograph some more stock out side in the natural light for you.

Thanks for the comments guys

Just did it there George Thanks.

Here's one for Leslie at Provincial Wagons. I got this resin break van kit of him last week in Bangor. Just finished building/painting and weathering her. Enjoy

.

PM sent mate

I will take the Hunslet and 111 class

Now that we are on our Easter break a bit of down time to do a little work for myself and take a few days of from Weathering Gurus. First up is a Hornby steam crane repainted and weathered to look like one of the CIE cranes. Sorry I can't post up the photos of the real thing that I worked from as the photos ain't mine to share. Enjoy

Brillant video love the pigeon at 40sec trying to get out of the way before it gets an arse full of 201:o

There isn't any lacquer on that Ed. It's the same 2 pack paint that the real ones are painted in, which is a gloss finish. the colour looks the same when scaled down but the trade off is you get a higher gloss finish. With the 071's I would have toned that down but I wanted the 201 to have that just out of the paint shop look so I didn't tone her down and just weathered the exhaust. Glad you like her:)

Tony drop me a PM and we can discuss your needs.

Jezz guys I didn't think the grey 201 would get such a big responce from you guys:tumbsup:. I've been flat out this past month at Weathering Gurus getting orders ready for Bangor last week and the 201 was done on a bit of down time for myself over the weekend and with easter this weekend the plan is to get a few days working on Ballykay so all been well should have some more up dates in the next few days with a new helix etc etc. Once again thanks for all the comments.
