Thanks popeye:tumbsup:As you say they are a nice wagon, I'm looking forward to getting them finished and get them running.

Haven't managed to get much work done on the wagons the last few weeks but here's the progress so far.All have had a couple of coats of yellow and while doing that I've taken the chance to give some a rougher finish than others,the reason for that will be further down the line.I've been in two minds about adding the ballast load especially after the positive comments on how well the rust looked in the first wagon.So what I decided to do was add a load to one of the freshly painted wagons and weather it just above and below that ballast line.By doing this it would just be a matter of digging it back out and weathering the whole interior instead if I decided not to keep it in.Now that its dried and hardened I'm liking how it looks so I,ll continue on weathering and filling the rest.Once their all done I can make a start on finishing touches.

Nice job Eamonn,i picked up a mixture of 20 and 40' bell's at the raheny show the year before last and still have nothing to put them on,seeing that i really have to get around to getting some 42' flats for them they look so good.

Another brilliant scene well thought out as always,love the updates from Tara Junction.

Nice job Eamonn,might try a couple of the An Post vans myself it looks great.Good to see your work back where it belongs

Coming along nicely,beautiful piece of work.

Thanks lads much appreciated:tumbsup:

Excellent collection of pics,thanks for posting

Cheers Harry,thanks for the positive comments as always

Thanks alot Nelson.

This is one of my Bachmann ballast wagons which I resprayed a while back to use with my NIR locos.Im not sure why but I had this in general chat at the time so I thought id stick it up on this thread instead,reason being I'm going to make a start on the remaining wagons that I never bothered to finish back then.Even though ive put a bit of work into weathering the interior I think I'll add a ballast load to each as well instead of running them empty.

Very good point,i think with the next batch all liveries will be covered but theirs actually very little stock for them to haul.

Area looks cracking,and a fine lineup of locos to go with it.

Spot on,that sums up the story of the 201s in one go.

Yes i use the humbrol washes and powders alot myself,they definitely add to making the model look more realistic.

Great job Eamonn,I've a few these to do myself,if i get them looking any way as good as that Il be happy enough.

It should just slide off after you take them out.

Did you take the 4 screws from under the axle's or the fuel tank?

Beautiful work Daryl,excellent finish with the paint job and transfers,worth all the work when you see it completed.

Superb work lads.If id have known this was coming down the line i wouldn't have picked up the lump of kits i have here from early last year.No matter how much work i put into them they will never look as good as this does☹

Nice work Daryl,it looks great.

Very nice,lovely stock especially the weed sprayer it looks great

Looks great,cracking detail.

Very nice,goes to show what can be done for little or no expense.

Very nice,really starting to take shape now.Looking forward to seeing it finished.
