The Derry Road

Hi all and a warm welcome to the work shop. Over the next few weeks I will be relocating all thats required, benches and work stations, spraying booth, shelves, tools etc, its the ground floor of my garage complete with electricity, house phone link and wifi. I have a space of 16ft by 22ft to operate in, my old place as some members have seen was a 8ft x 6ft shed. I hope to scratch build various wagons and other items that may be of interest to some forum members. First on the bench will be the curtian sided cement van, constructing a rake of at least 16. Thats the introduction over, watch this space for updates. TDR

John, enjoyed talking with you today at the show, along with Kieran. Layout looks great, well done. TDR

A really good day at 1st Bangor's exhibition. Well-done to all the team for their hard work. Kirley, your company was very much appreciated, thank you. Nelson's project sounds exciting but will have to wait, I'm sure he'll disclose its content in his own time. I'll post some pics tomorrow when I get a moment. TDR

Just beautiful Noel:tumbsup:

Kirley, will you be in attendance. I hope to be there around or just after lunch time TDR

Superb job well done. TDR

. Chassis is heavily modified/scratch built to widen it and details added to make it look Irish. Hi, i like your models. Did you use a donor chassis or did you completely scratch buid? TDR

Eamonn, nice model's, very effective finish on the wagons. Love your pt vehicles also. TDR

Brilliant result, great looking model. Well done. TDR

100 percent agree, daryl43068 your effords are to be admired, well done. TDR

Noel, great looking layout you've purchased, I'm sure you'll have many pleasurable running periods. The BR blue/grey era is also a favourite period of mine.TDR

Paddy, the platforms are from the peco range. Track work was airbrushed were accessible remainder by brush . The colour is railmatch sleeper grime. Other detailing and colours have yet to be added to the track in time. Hope this helps. TDR

Thanks folks for the encouraging comments. Hopefully the next post and picture's will be the lighting of the signals, a few months away yet though. TDR

Life has arrived on the layout A spare hour or so away from the sharp end let me place population and some details on the layout. Some pics of progress so far. Quiet pleased with the result. TDR Thanks for taking the time to view TDR
