take your time with the bubble. I'm skint !
-
That is really really useful thanks v much
-
Once again, thanks. DCC chip is wired in. Tomorrow I might test a little spray. I have a tin of Tank Grey but I think it is slightly too dark.

http://www.steamtrainsireland.com/locomotives/loco186.htm Lovely thing really. It is a ripe age too, they don't build em like that anymore. ! I note the front appears slightly darker - would this have applied to the k class locos too ?
-
thanks guys. I will probably go for that darkish grey. seems the simplest. probably try to weather it up too
-
Thanks very much Mike

I picked up this N class for a very reasonable price. The task is to convert it to the Irishy one and also To DCC while I am at it. I can do the DCC conversion no bother, but need help with the Irishising. I know the two deflector plates have got to go, but any advice on what else? Also, livery advice would be great as I can't seem to find many pics of this loco in Ireland.

fair play to you all. it will be great to get 'em!!!

very good Broithe lol

v nice drawing. If I can get the sheckles together I will get one more set I think.

my goodness it is incredible to look at
-
also, scalescenes and the like do downloadable brick and arch sets etc. I found making arches in card tricky, to be honest. Have a practice or two. Maybe attempt a smaller item you need first such as a signal cabin or work shed etc ? there are loads of preformed plastic sheets available in corrugated and clapboard siding that would be a big help to you building the big shed.

The Kinscourt branch was spared passenger closure by an upturn in passenger numbers sparked by subsidised commuter fares from Kinscourt into Dubin. (Well,in my world anyway...)

Finally got a chance to do a bit on the Layout. Here is the Kingscourt branch. I did some ballasting and built a little ramp for the gypsum lorries.

i have one. Dundalk Signal box kit . I picked it up about a year ago at Raheny Show. Was a bit cheaper then . V . nice model. Brickwork is applied as a stick on which covers all corners, window frames nicely. Very happy with mine. I would love the Cultra station. it just looks great.
-
i am enjoying this one. I think it shows that patience and simplicity ( i mean that in the best way _ as in non-cluttered) really are an art form in model railways. enjoying watching the scene develop.

Carlow Station and Sugar Factory. First venture into 00 gauge

I see a big write up in Model Rail mag about the Dawson Hall Irish model buildings range. They look great.
