Big fan of your bench George,fabulous work.

very nice work Jason , any chance of a photo of the resprayed one ?

I have a few railtrack ones I want to respray.

Is one generator wagon plus 3 others the correct configuration ?

Any footage I've seen seems to be spot on with what DiveController has said.6 or more standards and its 2 generators.I'll post a picture of the 2 railtrack if i get a chance later.

Lovely work very tidy,its coming along nicely.

Nice work there Jason, some very nice weathering, especially on that container!

Thanks Daryl,love what your doing with the gv,I'm really enjoying watching this progress.

Looking great Jason,well done

Thanks Harry,its not much to look at at the moment but it should start to take shape once the detail is added.

Bit of progress with the SSM level crossing.I know it was probably better to tackle this by soldering it,but i used super glue instead which seems to have worked fine.Its been primed and had a couple of coats of white so im going to start on the main paint job over the weekend.

Heres a couple of new additions that ive gotten recently.229 was birthday present from the other half a few weeks ago,ive just been adding the detail to the front this afternoon,i think it always makes a big difference to the appearance of the loco.I havent made up my mind if im going to weather it yet or not.I also picked up this kit from SSM ,i havent tried anything in brass before now so im itching to make a start on this.

Doesn't sound too healthy does it.

I don't think so, Jason, though obviously the Mk 2's did. Apart from this coach shown, I never saw any other Craven with any form of markings at all, nor am I aware of any. Naturally, this is the best forum for someone else to provide a photo like you describe.

 

The coach shown did not carry these logos for long. I understand they were removed - possibly they were only applied as an experiment.

Regarding the cravens JB am I right in thinking they also had intercity on them with the IR logo,I think I've seen them in a couple of videos?

Very lucky customer,fantastic layout really top class work,love the area around the sheds,absolutely brilliant Dave.

Very nice they turned out great,love that video as well of the gypsums' I've watched it a few times after finding it on Eiretrains site.

Nice job so far,really like this wagon so im looking forward to seeing this progress:tumbsup:

Two beautiful beasts.

Fabulous

Marks Models are selling it for 40 euro

I've been getting through this thread slowly but surely from the beginning its a beautiful layout,love the scenes which are described so well.

Interesting read,and some nice photos too

I picked up 112 myself for the same reason,its been seen pulling tara's,cement,cravens etc so its nice to have on the layout.

I thought it looked great last post,but with the interior and lighting done that's just beautiful.

Lovely work Jason, the colours on the the cabins are spot on. Great weathering too!

Thanks Dave,yes it took a while to settle on a colour but they seemed to suite so I went with it.

Great weathering effects , well done. Where did you get portocabin kits ?

I'm not sure my Dad picked it up for me a while ago,as far as i remember its from Knightwing kits.They also do security fencing and other stuff along them lines.

Thanks alot for the comments lads,appreciate it.

Hubba Hubba!!!

Thanks Richie :tumbsup:and congrats on the new arrival.

I didn`t get much done over christmas.I had planned to finish of the remainder of the cement wagons but it was getting a bit repetitive so i didn`t bother in the end.I`ve got stuck back into them the last couple of weeks so im just about done now,but here are some small bits that i`ve being doing in between.First up its a 00 kit that makes 2 portacabins.These can be used individually or stacked whichever suites.The other is some 1:76 scale transits from Oxford Diecast.I`ve kept 2 white and just added Eircom decals,the other 2 ive sprayed and added ESB decals,the ladders were made up from the spares box.I`ve a fair few containers now which ive been picking up here and there so ive weathered a 20ft as well just to see how it looked.
