Thank you very much. I paid the most attention to this. I did have issues with the two sidings on the far side of the goods shed which took the longs to get right

Well worth it. Everything looks fantastic. 

Apologies, I'll try harder next time.

Always remember to wash your hands after handling solder.

The NCE powercab works very well with the MM chip

It was the work on your track that I was complimenting. No kinks or bumps at all, which you can sometimes see on layouts. 

My copy arrived this morning in the post. Had a look through it over lunch, and as always it's stuffed with great info and fantastic photographs. Beet features heavily, but there's also some nice shots of the bagged cement traffic. 

This, could possibly be my favourite to date. Looking forward to having a proper read of it over the weekend.  

That's a very smooth run by 210 and the ferts. Great job.

Can't hear any difference at all myself, seems a bit of a pointless mod...

As @irishthump says, it's "can" vs. "should".

Agreed, it's needless tinkering. 

What's going on with the 181, have you buried it?

Hi Jason  yes it dose and it needs to be fixed like this if the coupler is attached to the boggie as well to allow movement . 

Enda 

Cheers, Enda. Thought so.

Container hotspot there, almost always something interesting.

Another nice catch, Dave.

  I have fitted them to my pallet cement wagons witch are on a Daplo chassis.

I see the pocket is fixed in place with a small screw. Does this allow the pocket to move slightly left and right when running on curves? I didn't think it was possible to use the Dellner on non bogie stock. 

Lovely stuff, another 20!

Not my cup of tea from an era or livery point of view. But there's no denying that is very, very tasty. 

No doubt, another excellent addition to the series. Will definitely be picking up a copy.

Top class work. The best finished example I've seen of this kit. 

Absoloute cracker of a wagon. One of my all time favourites.

There is something to be said for a bit of bad weather. Rain way to much to be wandering.

Gave me a few hours over last 3 days to get more works done.

NIR Ballast beginning transfers and weathering, then seal and reassemble.

Pallet Cement transfers done and sealed. Coupling to be fitted.

IR fuel wagon kits coming along nicely. More transfers and then weathering, and to be sealed.

Couple of locos and coaches looking on longingly from the shelf waiting their turn. 

Great stuff. Always nice to see some projects like this on the go.

Nice little CMA CGM reefer parked off the TF1 at the Chio roundabout just now.

 

 

That's a nice one, Dave. The Anorak bags another beauty. 

Lovely job, Noel. Adding passengers will further enhance the work you've carried out. 

Marks Models have both the 645 and 567 decoder in stock.

I agree, what's the point of putting a driver into that beautifully detailed cab when paddy murphy omitted cab lights to show off the detail!??, no point really 

Sure why bother to detail the cab at all then?

Reason is, because it's one of those little things that might not always be seen, but makes all the difference because it has been done. 

Likewise with adding figures. They are still visible in models with the lights on or not. Some of us prefer to add them, it makes things that little more interesting. So not pointless, in my opinion.

Murphy Models 078 shunting some SE&CR Hatton's Genesis coaches back and forth.

Always liked 078 because of the smaller IE logo. Sets it apart from the rest. 

Picked up a couple of these recently myself, Dave. Nice job on the hydraulics

Good stuff @Sean Can't beat a bit of old school modelling.
