This has been gathering dust for a while so I thought it was about time I had a go at my SSM 42' bogie flat.Its just the one for now as this is more of a practice run for myself before going ahead and investing in some more.So far the underside spine and bracing have been added to the main frame and yesterday evening I made a start on the container locks which are tiny but well worth the work when finished.

Thanks for the photos that is exactly what I am looking for. Now I can proceed with confidence.

No problem Mike.

Here you go Mike.

Same here,I like the thinking behind this,looking forward to it.

Hi Mike,the 141 and 181 were more or less identical apart from some small details.The main difference was the power of the engine.The roof detail was fairly basic with a grill at one end as you say.I can post a pic of a Murphy 181 if it helps?

Great to meet a couple of the lads from the IRM team today.The ballast and bubble looked absolutely fantastic

So I could use 222 with a push pull ?

 

There's a couple of photos in a book I have here called from CIE to IR.The 201 is in the silver green Intercity livery pulling a mk3 push pull set.

I think everybody can be sure no matter how long it takes these wagons will be well worth the wait.This goes to show yet again the huge amount of effort and dedication that has gone into this project from the beginning to get it as close to perfect as possible before its released which all involved deserve nothing but credit for.

Absolutely stunning.

The detail of that scenery is top class just looks so realistic.Fine example of how good it can look when its done right.Love everything about this layout.

Pure class,and the filth i love it:tumbsup:

Just another question folks

 

I have found the NI Railways 071 / 111 in the dark blue livery on eBay

 

What time period does this owe itself to...

The darker blue livery fits nicely into the period your covering.It still carries that livery today.

Cheers lads thanks for the comments:tumbsup:

Lining has been added and some weathering done to finish it off

Nice job so far.

Absolutely fantastic,love the Arrow railcar at the station.

Ive really enjoyed watching this progress.Looks great

Beautiful...

Their are 3 switches under the fuel tank for the lights it might be just a matter of switching it on.

Unbelievable,never ceases to amaze me,could have been so much worse as well.

Looks good Jason. Should look the job once the lining is on it.

 

It should do Jimbo,thanks.

Cheers Dave.Once the white lining is added to what's already done it should make a big difference to the appearance.Thanks for looking and commenting as always,much appreciated

Quick update on the progress so far.The roof and both ends have been sprayed black and I've also added the decals to sort the small bit of detail needed on both ends too.

Great to see,you just cant beat that GM sound:tumbsup:

Congrats to all involved that looks fantastic
