I remember working at oxford street bus depot and watching the GM,s pull coaches out onto the bangor line at the River Lagan bridge and running round the coaches there and then going back into platform 2 after the run round.

Hunslets did work top and tail, then they worked push pull with driving trailer at Belfast end.

Rails of Sheffield still have some left at £124.50 plus postage.

Hi Warbonnet I have a SD9 proto 2000 body shell, are you still looking for one? Colin.

Yeah it would have got dirty very quickly, which is why it didn't last long and the UTA went in favour of the Brunswick Green....

Hi richrua you can buy various stripes for lining any coach they come in different widths etc and there are model transfer companies that make up various stripes for your needs, Railtec might have what your looking for ask Steve in Railtec what your modelling and I am sure he will help you out. Colin.

Your very welcome Nelson, listen if you only want a couple of crests etc I can give you some in the mean time if you need them... Colin.

Hi Nelson just to let you know that the Railtec coat of arms crests for the UTA is correct size for coaches and railcars..... I checked them today. Colin. ps good work Steve..

Keep that pic up I love the shape of the MK2,s and I also loved that NIR Livery.

Yes im with Nelson on this one Michael I wish you a speedy recovery and pray for you to full health and strength...... Colin..

I think Duck Egg Blue is a close shade of the Catherwood blue that was used on some of the UTA railcars.....

I have an order coming from Railtec so I let you both know what the crests are like... Colin.

Andy are you thinking of Mabex Transfers??? They did do UTA and NIR motifs because I bought loads of them years ago. Colin.

Bleachgreen was by all accounts was kept tidy by the UTA and NIR (in the early days) Grass cutting and hedge cutting took place quite often, but the viaduct would need weathering a bit as did get dirty by the time NIR took over in 1968..

Hi Kieran see I told you your trees were good Colin.

Hi Jason your weathering looks ok to me and not too much grime lightly done that's how I like it

Hi Jason welcome, you are correct NIR didn't have any of these mesh canopies on their seacows so nip away lol... Colin.

Cheers... ah yes I remember now, have you any idea why its going to whitehead? as space in whitehead is very much limited now with all the work going on etc.

Hi Warbonnet please refresh my memory what type of coach is 5408? I think it is maybe mk2?

Would think that today is diesel hauled?

Thanks Warbonnet for the info.....

Any news on 85 is she working Dublin - Belfast - Whitehead today?

Hey Patrick what about some people for the platforms waiting for the train... cause it looks like a ghost station.... im only joking your layout looks great I only wish I had one

Very nice looking models, What price are they for 2 car set? Colin.

forgot to say Humbrol does the spray paint..

Brunswick green is what you need richrua you can get It in spray can or tin for brush painting...
