  1. The huge expectation building up to this years 6 Nations seemed to take it's toll today. Never looked like coming back after going 17-10 down.
  2. Like the look of this. More photos would be great
  3. Thanks for the update Fran. This delay and the reason for it can only be seen as a positive in my opinion. As with all releases to date, the detail on each has been outstanding because IRM has accepted nothing less. No doubt these beauties will be well worth the wait.
  4. Managed to make a little more progress on the silo over the past week or so. First job to be tackled was sorting a base to form the roof area. For this I decided to use some foam packing. Simple enough process involved... The foam was cut to shape and the sides covered in pva glue. It was then pushed up through the tube, and once set I covered it in plasticard. What I was left with was a lightweight but solid base to build on. Next it was on to the outer wall And then the inner wall at the top
  5. One of the angled brackets on the strength girder
  6. Love it Have a soft spot for 156. It was the first of many MM locos I've bought.
  7. Sad news indeed. Brought back some fond memories from when I was a nipper and Never The Twain was on the box.
  8. Brilliant Noel.There's a photo in Irish Railway Rambler of 019 carrying that livery sitting in the paint shop in Inchicore. Is there anything that doesn't turn up on Tara Junction
  9. I still remember stumbling upon this thread a few years back when I had only just joined as a member, and was totally blown away by this layout. It will be great to see some photos of how it has progressed since then.
  10. Fantastic footage Ernie. Seeing 190 & 134 with the Bubbles almost brought tears to my eyes
  11. Looking great Eoin. Love the yard, 3rd shot in particular with the hut in view.
  12. Is it just me or is anyone else getting a feeling of déjà vu here. And not for the first time.
  13. I have to admit I'm seriously tempted to bang a deposit down on another couple of these beauties. God knows how I'm going to explain myself when she finally wants to see this "holiday home" that I've been investing my money in. Strangely enough, not long after IRM appeared on the scene.
  14. I'd agree with Noel. They're decent models which are also nicely finished, although a little on the pricey side.
  15. Cheers warb, Not the silo I'll be modelling, but a brilliant photo and interesting structure all the same Fantastic couple of shots Ernie. In particular the one from Waterford. I've never seen a view of the silo from that side, any photos I have were all taken looking from the opposite direction. Thanks for posting.
  16. I've always fancied the idea of having a cement silo similar to the examples seen in both Tullamore and Waterford but could never seem to find a tube that was just right for the job. Then by chance I came across this... So this morning armed with the essential mug of tea in hand plus some photos to work off, I headed out to the bench to give it a go. I started by taking the measurements of each section of the silo, and then went about transferring these from the photos to the tube but in larger scale. Eventually, after a few alterations here and there I had something that I was happy with the look of. Markings now done I began cutting away the excess from the bottom of the tube to lower its overall height, and once this was removed it was on to cutting out the entrance/exit. Any rough edges were then give a light sanding just to tidy everything up. Plenty of work still to be done but I'm happy with that start.

    Vote for IRM!

    Done. Best of luck lads
  18. Lovely shots Noel. Unfortunately the majority of these movements have been lost for good in the real world. But luckily they can still be seen on fantastic layouts like this. Happy New Year
  19. Happy New Year to all fellow IRM members. And happy modelling in 2019. Cheers Jason

    Tara's

    Finally managed to get mine out of their boxes today and give them a spin on my Dads layout. I've said it already, but after seeing them running I really have to say it again. These are absolutely stunning models, the detail is just phenomenal.
  21. Thanks Tony, much appreciated. Handy tip David, I must try that.
  22. Last of the Oxford Transits done. This time finished in Eircom colours. Decals again from SSM. Great little vans for dotting around the layout.
  23. The embankment turned out well Tony. Nice work.
