I think I'll file these under miscellaneous.

A small but frustrating model is done. The humble platform barrow. This one consisted of some 17 separate parts. It has collapsed on numerous occasions during the build but seems to be holding up now....all part of my quest to replicate the platform as seen at Dromahair, a typical 50s SLNC station....

As usual, your attention to detail is top notch. Maybe a little frustrating to build, but that scene proves it was well worth the effort.  

Same day, but taken at Limerick. Cosmetically she was looking rough and badly in need of some work. But the engine sounded fantastic all day. 

Good to see you back posting richrua. Progressing well already. Nice work on the Cement Works. Great use of items lying about, as David has mentioned above. 

Here's a shot I got of 086 back in April 2018, before overhaul. Branchline Explorer as far as I can remember. 

Nice job GM. All they needed was a little TLC 

Liking the plan GM. Always had a soft spot for the yard in Mullingar. Nothing over complicated, but enough to keep you interested.

I really like your 112 without the Irish Rail extras and original lights. Very nice.

It's a bit of a hybrid... I needed it to look as it would in the 90s.

Hadn't noticed that. Even better

Hopefully I'll manage to get a small layout up and running soon. In the meantime, my fleet to date is below. Missing a pair of 121s. 

Cracking lineup of motive power there. Made all the better with 112 in the mix 

Lovely job George. Very impressive. It'll look great on the move. 

That's a nice collection of stock you've gotten your hands on recently Dangerous. Enjoy. 

A few more... 

Jasus... 

Will always be my favourite 

Dug out a few more bits and pieces to add to the list. As before, all 1:76 scale. 

Escort XR3i, Capri MK1 and Capri MK111

Sierra Sapphire 

And a little more modern. The Galaxy. 

Love this. Looks even better when carrying a container. 

Yep, still knocking out the orders. I recieved a few bits and bobs last week. I also dropped him a mail last monday and he came back to me a couple of days later. 

Loving that last pic. 

Came across this little gem from SSM while rummaging through some storage boxes a couple of days ago. 

I don't know how I managed it, but I noticed I hadn't added the day-glo stripes to the inside of the beams when working on the gates first time round. 

So, it was out with some paint and a very fine brush this morning. Unfortunately I didn't have the exact colour I used originally, but I think this adds to the look, as these were generally seen with varying shades over the years. 

Always a favourite of mine. You can't go wrong with Baby GM's double heading the timber train

Is the Bulk a 30ft?

Yes, it's a 30' Railer. 

Love it. Oozes mid 90's.

Smashing work Jason good to see the workbench back in business.

Rich,

Cheers Rich. I made a promise to myself back in January to devote a little more time to the hobby. 4 months in and I've managed my first post of the year. At this rate, the next update should be around August  

Evening Guys, 

It's been a while. So, this morning I decided to ease myself back into the endless list of projects sitting on the bench, by putting this spare 071 body to good use. 

First, it was off with the 085 shell. 

Then, on with the new underframe.

With the loco opened up, I placed a driver in the cab and also dug out a spare DCC sound decoder to fit.

Handrails went on next.

And then finally a little painting to finish off the smaller details.

085 is now 077. 

Bagged and Bulk cement passing. Lovely 

A favourite of mine. They've turned out really well. Great build, from start to finish.
