Thanks Craven Cheers Noel

Thanks for the comments lads:tumbsup:

Nice video Noel.Both locos looking and sounding great especially climbing the gradient out of Killarney.

Not got much done of late so before starting anything new its back to a post from early January and to some work I had started on my bagged cement wagons from Irish Freight Models.At the time I had got as far as cutting the bodies down to sort a small issue I had with their height,taken off the plastic hand wheels which are located on one end of the wagon and had also removed the buffers and replaced them with the chunkier looking white metal type. Anyway I've recently got back around to finishing them off so here's a few pics of them now completed with some weathering and additional detail added which I've made up from plasticard and SSM break wheels/wire.

Agree totally with Rich.You can use areas like door recesses to break up the decal.But even on long uninterrupted straights like on a Craven the decal can be cut into 2 or 3 pieces and even then you'd find it hard to see the joins if applied correctly.It's like most things in modelling,plenty of patience needed.

Now that's a proper ballast train

Nice video Fran love the close up shots.Class looking layout.

Very nice Noel.Like the Ammonias

Beautiful model.The detail is fantastic.

Popeye,it's been a while since I've seen something on here to get anywhere near this especially a scratch build.Top notch work,absolutely fantastic

Not my preferred era but another great video Noel.Love the Bell's in the last shot

Likes his hub caps.

Bit of a sweeping statement to make Noel.There's plenty of brass kits running on layouts that suffer from none of the above mentioned.I've also seen many brass kits on here which have been built to exceptionally high standards.

That's the one Richie

Noel not sure how to post the link to the video but check out Eiretrains.com in the videos section.Nice footage of one working on there.

Seems to have clouded quite badly Noel.Strange to see that type of damage considering the distance involved.

Withdrawn and scrapped around March or April this year I think.

Lovely video Noel nicely done.181 sounds fantastic

Lovely job Eamonn.Nice work on the scene with the house fire:tumbsup:

Stunning piece of work Popeye.The finish speaks for itself and really shows the time and effort that has been put into the build.Looking forward to seeing it painted

Really taking shape now Eoin,fantastic looking all over but the yard still stands out for me.Great work

The last post on this thread was over 3 years ago.What's the point your making?

Hi Eamonn,i picked up a Dremel about 2 years ago.When it comes to cutting and filing/sanding I'd be lost without it.As for small drill bits i usually just use the cordless drill i have.

Nice pics Dave,the detail on that bridge on the Tralee to Dingle layout is fantastic.Good to know the Guinness is going down well,always nice on a bank holiday weekend

Thanks Noel,handy to know
