Regarding the break wheels. As Eoin has suggested above, these can purchased from SSM. Below, is one of the sets I put together for some cement wagons I was working on at the time.

Cheers Rich. Her Indoors picked the colours. Anything to keep her sweet after bulldozing half the back garden Thanks David. 20ft X 10ft overall, so I've a decent bit of space to play with when I'm eventually up and running. I was pushing for a little bigger but I ran out of luck in the end

Cheers Fran. It's getting there slowly but surely. Things would be so much easier if life in general stopped getting in the way

Evening Gents, It's been a while since the first post way back in November 2018, but plans for the layout are still very much alive. The recent combination of some work being carried out around the house and my never ending battle with time, has resulted in progress on the shed being a little slower than I had hoped for of late. Although saying that, things are moving in the right direction, with the majority of work which needed doing now complete. So here's a quick update as to where I'm currently at... First to the exterior. Original windows have been taken out and replaced with double glazed pvc. It was another added cost, but the benefits have been well worth the investment. Gutters were tackled a couple of weekends back, along with covering the exposed area's of the frame with flashing. Site supervisor keeps a close eye on things As for the interior. Walls and roof have now been insulated, slabbed and skimmed. Floors have also been covered, and painting was finished last weekend. Just the electrics to sort now, and then I'll finally be ready to really start planning for the layout itself.

Intercity sharing the same tracks with B&T. Have you been getting treatment for your OCD recently Noel?

Impressive looking set-up Mr Fritters. Looking forward to watching this progress.

Cheers Noel

Nicely done Noel. Not too dark, so the perfect evening scene for me. Loving that tower with the floodlights. One of Dave's by any chance?

A couple more...

Fantastic selection of stock as always Noel. The pair of baby's and pallet cement wagons are a big favourite of mine.

Evening Gents, I've just been going through some of my storage boxes while giving them a little bit of a tidy. Picking up 1:76 scale cars, vans and trucks is also another interest of mine, especially trucks. Here's a few that I've dug out of the boxes. Probably my favourite. The DAF 2800 And something a little more modern

April 2019. And I have just received an email from IRM to say my Plough Vans have been despatched...



Love it warb. They look the business. Top notch as always.

Any photo's of the recent progress Tony?

Always a nice little addition to the last wagon or coach in a rake, and a must in my opinion. Sometimes the smallest of detail makes all the difference. Coupler removed aswell I noticed

Back from the dead, thank Christ for that. I was seriously considering giving up and moving to the dark side, which meant joining the masses watching love island. I don't think I could have ever looked at myself in the mirror again if I'd have gone through with it. So thank you IRM, and welcome back online. You've been badly missed for the best part of a week.

Never mind the chocolate biscuits. Look at that container terminal

Going by the loco and the fact that it's carrying it's IR livery but with day-glow panels, plus there's still some Bell containers to be seen there in the mix, you're looking at mid 90s. Irish Cement branded bubbles would have been on the scene at this stage but it wouldn't have been unusual to see one or two with the CIE logo either.

Ah Rich, give me some credit. I wear pull-ups nowadays. I'm a big boy now

Jasus, just when you thought it couldn't get any better...

Agree Rich, if you could see through the grilles it would certainly be the icing on the cake. It was always something that caught the eye when watching them in action. If not, I certainly won't be complaining. Once I get my hands on a pair of these beauties I'll be as happy as a pig in shite either way.

All seems a little too easy if you ask me.

Love it

Lovely work. Always nice to see some old school modelling being posted from the workbench section.
