Just trying a simple conversion job.

Yes i am pleased with it. It comes with embankment retaining walls etc. I plan on having a steep enough drop to a riverbed below. Might be a while off yet though !

Hmm. Might grab a pack of those.

This is the result. You have to use your imagination a bit.

this is the result. You have to use a bit of imagination. Sorry about the br wagons. No irish rolling stock yet...

It is only a metcalfe kit rather than scratch built!

Great stuff.

Here is another possibility:

Compare Woodlawn in Galway in this link

...to the metcalfe Manor house. Not a million miles off for a conversion.

Sorry pic upside down

Hi folks. This is a Metcalfe Workers Cottage balancing on a platform so I could try this out. I dont think it would look out of place as an Irish station building. Especially when I have a goods shed propped up next door?

Are the 071 s and the 201s as good to run ? I feel an addiction coming on.......... oh oh

Taking shape a little. There will be two freight or timber sidings running off the mainline. Trying to keep it fairly simple looking.

I was sitting here watching my nearly new second hand murphy 141 purring gently around my nowhere near finished track and i realised something. These Murphy bachmanns are so bl☺☺dy good they are like your first new car. Once you have driven a Murphy, all my clapped out old sentimental br trains just arent as nice to drive! Not saying i would sell em for scrap like that oul fiesta... but you know what i mean....

Thanks. Work to be done still on chassis and buffers have yet to arrive. Transfers then.

Maiden voyage. Nearly there !!!

excellent thanks very much.

Hello all,

another dopey question, I am afraid!

I am putting a siding into my layout. I want it to curve away from the mainline. I have plenty of spare Hornby 605 curves so was going to use one of those.

The siding will be a timber siding for an 071 to collect wagons.

However - I don't have an 071 yet.

My question is - will an 071 manage the Hornby 605 radius or is that too tight? I know some uk locos wont.

thanks
