  1. I'd advise against JB. More than likely it will end in disappointment once you find a flaw in the shade of livery supplied after purchase
  2. One of those little things that can often be overlooked on a layout, but make all the difference when they look as good as that. But maybe that's just me, I've got a bit of a thing for Buffer Stops
  3. More of a tippex man myself. But I have to say the black with yellow panels is a rather attractive livery, even though way outside my preferred era.
  4. Couple of nice little projects on the go there Robert. The curtain side pallet cement has always been one of my favourites so looking forward to watching these progress.
  5. That's a beauty Noel. I always see the 2600 lurking in the background in alot of your posts. Nice to see it out and about.
  6. The finishing touches with the handrails etc have made all the difference Noel. Very impressive looking model, great job
  7. Ordered mine today. IR livery with dayglow panels. Happy as a pig in s***. Stand looked seriously impressive aswell guys.
  8. Absolutely fantastic news lads. What's been achieved to date has been incredible, but this is on another level. Plus there's the added bonus that this might finally stop Noel dropping A Class hints every 3 or 4 posts
  9. Very busy evening at the Junction Noel. Love the shot of 221 sitting at the MPD.
  10. Spot on JB, they'll be well worth the wait no matter how long it takes. I know what I'm blowing my Confirmation money on when they finally arrive.
  11. Unfortunately seeing something like this doesn't surprise nowadays. Some of the driving I witness on a daily basis along with their attitude to the rules of the road is beyond belief. Luckily these type of planks are in the minority.
  12. Last pic does it for me. Top notch as always.
  13. Going by the releases to date these will be well worth the wait. Yet again this just goes to show that IRM won't just throw anything out there unless it's of the highest quality. Really looking forward to adding these to my ballast wagons.
  14. Progress of sorts on the Ammonias...
  15. Cheers Robert. Yes the powders seem to work well when trying to achieve that caked on lumpy appearance. All going to plan it will still be visible after airbrushing etc is eventually finished.
  16. The logos have now been removed on all but 4 of the bubbles, so I've moved on to adding some cement spillage to the top of the tanks. This was made up from a mixture of Humbrol weathering powders and Matt Cote. When the mix had dried I began removing it until I got a look I was happy with. It was then fixed in place with matt varnish.
  17. Really interesting photos there Railer and great info to go with them. I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but I've always had a soft spot for the 201's. Reliability issues never helped over the years I know, but it's such a pity they never got close to the success of their predecessors.
  18. Lovely shots Noel. I'd gladly sit there with a pint of the black stuff looking out at that.
  19. I'll probably hold on to 3 or 4 with the logo Popeye. I have seen photos where the later IRISH CEMENT logo can be partially seen. To be honest I don't think I could bring myself to deface them all
  20. Another little project I've being itching to get started on is adding some much needed weathering to my IRM Cement Bubbles. I was a little reluctant at first about attempting this but a Bubble just doesn't look right if its not manky so they've made it to the bench to be dirtied up. I'm beginning by removing the logos. I know this might seem a little drastic, but it was rare they were seen on the real thing in their later years and by doing this it cuts out any chance of them showing through the weathering when its eventually applied. I've just finished the first two from 18, only 16 to go
  21. Can't wait to get my hands on a pack of these stunners. And without straying from topic, can I just say the Ballast wagon looks fantastic when weathered.
  22. Have to agree Railer it was a fantastic day out, made all the better by the 3 locos on duty that day. Really looking forward to this one myself
  23. Very nice. Really like the Dutch Van with the Cravens.
  24. Nice footage.I never tire of that fantastic GM sound.
