Some lovely shots there. Particularly like 075 crossing the bridge still in silver and black freight livery. Also the close up shot of the CPW shows some great detail of the wagon, which is always helpful when modelling

Welcome to the dark side Noel.

Looks really good Noel.The strip works very well with the tinted windows in the mk2 model, really adds to the effect by diffusing the light slightly.

Lining looks spot on Noel very crisp, lovely finish too with the weathering

Very nice

Brilliant

Sounds like my type of day, can I come too

Always a story to accompany the fantastic pictures.I'll never get bored of Tara Junction

6 nations finally came to life this weekend, really enjoyed watching France beating England wasn't expecting it at all, have to agree Richie I think Scotland were better than the table will finally show but it's been that type of championship this year.

That is a monster piece of scenic work , very impressive.

Cheers Noel.

Fantastic scene Noel, love the stacker it looks great.Brilliant as always

Thanks lads

Fixing the roof and handrails to both vans was a little trickier than I expected but I got there in the end. Next job is to sort the chassis' and make up the ploughs, once that's done its on to the painting.

Thanks Robert.

I was two days into this when IRM announced that they plan to release the Plough Van as one of their future projects So more than likely these will eventually end up in a siding but as the saying goes I've started so I'll finish.Like anything I've previously tried from SSM, Des has made it as easy as he possibly can for anyone building one of his kits so it has gone together without any hassle so far. Before I tackle getting the roof on I've added some plasticard to the interior of the veranda just to bulk up the appearance of the uprights a little, and I've also added some bracing to the central section to help keep everything rigid.

Top notch.The detail on both buildings is fantastic, inside and out.

Damn you IRM.I only started on my two plough vans yesterday to compliment your fantastic ballast wagons Anybody fancy two partly built plough vans... Anybody ?

Don't know about anybody else, but I'm starting to feel how Jack Nicholson did in The Shining

Looking forward to this Robbie, have some of these tucked away myself.I've been meaning to order some detailing kits from SSM before I get going on them.

It's tough at the top Fran, but these are the sacrifices that have to be made

I like it Fran, that's why your head of sales at IRM

Nice work Noel.What do plan on using for the load eventually, seeds etc tend to go manky after a while.

Very brave man, you wouldn't catch me doing it.But when you think about it... Tara's /Wedding fund it's worth the risk

Looks like Noel is going to fight to see another day, now that he won't be facing Mr Bracken and his boxing gloves.Looking forward to the announcement on what the future projects are going to be
