Track down - 4 lines down with 5 very long siding, some of which are between the third and fourth radius as I brought line out wider to create that space. 

Layout can have 9 full length trains now. Still room for more sidings and the possibility of a fifth line.  Anyone offended by sectional track should look away now!

 

That's some progress, it looks fantastic. Have you slept since Friday?   

Tara Junction. Always the go to place for an elusive wagon.  

I see the clampers have found another victim. 

I wouldn't be a fan of either. But what has the Eurovision, and North Korean propaganda got to do with each other. 

The busier the better. Great stuff.  

Nice find. An interesting read. 

Lovely stuff Noel. Always nice to see the 2600 out and about.

Have to admit, the opening  to 'The Birds' sprang to mind when i heard them gulls.

Wait, how do you move it to a different thread??

As suggested above, drop one of the mods a PM. They can do it there and then. 

Fantastic bit of space to have. Looks very impressive. Just a suggestion, but if you're planning to continue with updates maybe move the thread to the layout section, rather than having it in General Chat, it'll be easier to find when members are browsing. 

Looks very well. A light dusting with the airbrush will do wonders to tone everything down. 

Pure Gold. A friend of mine is living in Drogheda, so whenever I'm down that neck of the woods I'd drop into MacBride station. If you're very luck you might catch a Tara Mines coming in on the Navan Branch, or an 071 stabled there. Nearly unrecognisable now when you look at that footage.

What did you use/ How did you do that?

Rubbed everything down with the abrasive pen. Light coat of primer, then a couple of coats of yellow. Bucket, cab and exhaust were hand painted.Once dried, a wash and powders were applied. Sealed with Matt varnish.

Top work Jason that has definetly taken it to a different level. Weathering looks just right and not overcooked.

Cheers Rich.

I've been having some fun with the old LokProgrammer, so here is a very uninteresting video

Love Island is uninteresting. This isn't

New east pier added to the layout today. 
The plan is for it to be home to a low relief brewery it nicely hems in the harbour walls too ⛴

 

Great idea, fits in perfectly with the layout. Look forward to watching it develop.   

I picked up this 1:76 scale loader about a year back. The colour was horrendous and needed sorting. So I went to work. 

My Dad has four or five of these in both liveries Rob. I've tried all methods of bribery over the last couple of years to try and get him to part with even one. No joy as yet. Might pick up a tray of Guinness tomorrow and leave it at his front door as another subtle hint. 

Am I seeing things, or has some poor unfortunate been clamped? 

A perfect example of what can be achieved when a model is pushed to another level. Great work. 

Nice work. They look spot on. 

Fair play lads, the gamble more than paid off. At them prices you can't go wrong. Enjoy. 

Scale wise, are they 2 mtrs apart? 

Like Edo, I have a deposit down on three, IE livery. Paid it about 6 months back. I recieved the monthly newsletter by email during the week with the release schedule attached, but with no prices as yet.
