  1. Unfortunately, it's a simple case of supply and demand. Personally, I wouldn't pay that type of money, no matter how much I wanted the model. But there are people out there that will. And as long as their willing to part with their cash, you'll always see ridiculous prices like that.
  2. That's because they're afraid they'll have both their arms broke Dave
  3. Something dodgy seems to be going on inside 141's cab. There's only a couple of reasons why those windows could be steamed up.
  4. Love the shot of the lads nattering in front of 080.
  5. Plough Van's were dismantled this afternoon and given a blast of the airbrush. I'll be aiming for a heavily weathered appearance on both of these.
  6. Fresh to the bench this morning is my 15 Ballast Wagons and 2 Plough Van's. I've started by applying a wash to the hopper. This is to create the build up of dirt and streaking in certain areas. This process will be used on each wagon. I have also removed the loads for a little cosmetic work.
  7. Love the shot at 4:25 as the 141 passes over the bridge with bubbles. One word...class.
  8. Even though the livery carried by A12 is way outside my era of interest, I've always found it attractive because it's so simple. Even to this day, that style is still being used on the 071/111 classes. It never grows old.
  9. Nice view from that end of the layout Noel.
  10. Absolutely stunning gents. As each wagon was released, it seemed to push the bar that little bit higher each time. Yes, its probably expected now, and comes as no surprise. But to serve up this type of standard on your first locomotive is outstanding. Respect.
  11. Cheers Fran. Yep no problem, work away
  12. Nice work Noel. The combination of their colour and how badly they weathered over time means they are not easy to get right, but you've pulled it off. I have a few of these spare from my 42' flats, and tackled one over the Christmas break. After a lot of expletives it ended up back in a box. I'm planning on revisiting it, when I have time and patience in equal measure.
  13. Yes gm, they're from SSM. A quick blast of a rattle can, pop the filter in, and they're ready to go.
  14. They do David. As you say, they are small details, but they make such a big difference come the end. Cheers Noel, that's very much appreciated.
  15. One final pic which I missed at the beginning. This shows some detailing added to the rear of what is the last wagon in the rake.
  16. Cheers popeye. It's a combination of removing the paint and the powders after applying.Then airbrushing another colour on to build up the layers, and repeating the process. Its quite time consuming. I'm glad to see the back of them to be honest. This shot probably explains it better.
  17. Back to a project which I started way back in October 2018. Ever since then, it's been a case of... Do a little, loose interest. Do a little, loose interest. Do a little... you get the idea. Anyway, here's my now weathered Bulk Cement wagons.
  18. According to Mark's Models June newsletter, which I recieved today. They are planning to reopen both Dublin stores on Monday the 8th of June, and Cork on the 9th.
  19. I notice they're fairly close to Fitzgerald's. It was always handy back in the day, when you could nip across to the atm when indulging in the local watering hole.
  20. Love the 2800 Noel, it was a favourite of mine growing up. Nice paint job. That colour along with the logos really suite the tractor unit.
  21. Sounds familiar.
  22. Not my era of interest. But the layout itself is just top notch. Nothing over complicated, and a perfect example of less definitely being more.
  23. Nice work on the signs. Sometimes the smallest of details make all the difference.
  24. Nice work on the scenics. You've got my favourite Baby GM there carrying the IR livery, 143 with it's day-glo panels. Along with that, Bells and Bubbles. Perfect.
  25. Nice work. Liking those portocabins, Bachmann by any chance?
