Great work all round on the embankment Tony. Enjoying watching this progress.

Just finished working on some 1/76 scale Transits from Oxford Diecast. A nice result for very little effort. Decals are from SSM, ladders from the spares box. Job done. Now added to the ESB fleet

Unfortunately the cost would considerably outweigh the benefits. But yes, it would be a deterrent and make someone think twice after they have to pick what's left of their engine out of the dashboard.

Looks great, like the idea for the shed. -
Impatience along with stupidity is main problem there. Should be made resit their test for that type of behaviour, but no doubt it will end with a slap on the wrist.

Very nice. Personally I've always preferred the 071 in that livery hauling the Tara's, they just look right together in my opinion. Loving the last shot as it heads away from camera.

Colours look fine to me Robert. As JB has said they were a really rich blue when clean, and did look darker. Over time due to general ware and tare they tended to fade quite badly which is why the shade of blue can look alot lighter in certain photos. Lovely work by the way, very nice paint job.

This thread is getting stranger with each post

Apologies, I presumed this is what you had done originally but you were still having issues with the main mounting arm. As I said, no need to cut or remove anything once the coupler and block are taken away there should be plenty of space behind the valance. The main arm is independent of the bogies anyway, unlike on the 141/181 and 071 models. Cheers Jason.

Hi Jeremiah, Apologies in advance if I'm reading your question the wrong way, but is the issue you're having with coupling pocket obstructing the valance? If so there is no need to remove the main mounting arm as I said previously. All you need to do is turn the loco upside down and pull the coupler towards you. The coupler and mounting block comes out in one piece. Jason.

Maybe it's me, but is that not what I said?
-
It can be removed but there shouldn't be an issue with it when left in place on the 201, there should be enough clearance. It's a different story when it comes to the 141/181, all of mine had to be altered to stop the plate obstructing the bogies.

Believe it or not i was only thinking about what you said in your post a couple of weeks back, and first thing I done yesterday evening when I got home was went out and checked the shed considering the combination of strong winds and heavy rain. Still no issues on that front I'm pleased to report, but I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it over the winter

I have seen it in 2 or 3 videos of the beet trains going back to 2004/05 but there was only ever one in the rake, so more than likely it was the same wagon in all footage. As Robert has suggested above a one off.

I don't think there's a scene you couldn't recreate Noel, with all that wonderful stock you have
-
I think I've just soiled myself...
-
Cheers Eamonn.
-
I've a couple of these to do myself. Seems straight forward enough. Did you have any hassle swapping them over Eamonn?
-
Echo Noel's comment above. Excellent work with the detail on top.
-
There's a very nice little kit available from Studio Scale Models that comes complete with kegs and is easily assembled with superglue. Might be worth a look rather than scratch building.
-
That stand is the dogs gangly bits, very impressive looking. Best of luck with the show lads.

As far as I'm aware none of the Murphy 141/181's with the plug'n'socket logo came with the smaller marker lights or silver window frames. They had the newer LED markers and the frames were the same colour as the body, which points towards transfers.
-
Certainly looks that way. If you zoom in you can just about make out the points logo under plug'n'socket the transfer.
