    :-bd Nice one, folks! Does anyone use anything else (variety is the spice)?

    Can anyone offer any guidance on whether there are any prototypical model OO bridges out there pre-asembled? In my mind these bridges look something like this one at Farranfore which is probably what I'd like to reproduce Thanks, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Farranfore_train_station.jpg/1024px-Farranfore_train_station.jpg

    Wow, I Just developed a renewed interest in card kits (given some time). I guess I assumed they were a 'printed box' Nice job, Rich=D

    Hi Glenderg, You guys are great, but I'm RTR for now due to lack of time. I'm not modeling a particular station, just trying to pick up some prototypical items to get on a layout that hasn't started yet. I think my efforts will all go into that. The Irish Bachmann Scenecraft is near unobtainable and I keep an eye out for it, so I'm looking to get the next best thing in pre-assembled for now. Kirley's beautiful night scene in just jaw-dropping. Well done you, that scratchbuild is amazing. Clonmel is a great station to model. I like the limestone architecture more than brick. Kevin

    http://www.osbornsmodels.com/bachmann-scenecraft-44-063-stone-station-building-7808-p.asp THis is the one I think may look a little closer to "Irish",….. any thoughts especially if you know a local station like this or already have 44-252 you opinions are welcome

    Looking good, Rich. How do the parts detach from the card? cut each one with the Stanley/utility knife? Looking forward to the finished item...

    I wanted to order a 001 class locomotive from SilverFox and am awaiting a reply from John about how the A class is currently powered. I understand they were previously powered by a Lima chassis but are more recently powered by a "Hornby DCC-ready 5-pole skew wound motor" chassis. I don't know how much "old stock" might be out there. I don't know for certain that DCC-ready include a DCC socket or if there are all wheel pickups. Will post if I know more. I may order the assembled kit rather than RTR depending on the outcome of this thread. Noel, you like the workmanship of the bodyshell ,though? Kevin

    If it's that cramped it's likely to put some (but not the hardcore) off. Bigger venue likely to with some amenities likely to attract even attract even more

    Was going to guess at NE Antrim coast with Scotland in the distance. Not a million miles off considering I am! Nice country!

    I have heard you say that before. I have a rake of 6 or seven and may do that. Pics would be great
  17. DiveController
    I agree, Run it!

    Not bad, Noel. Agree with the white lining comment. It would be unfair to judge it to today's models. How easily we forget how far we've come over this period of time

    Hello from one sunny climate to another, I have seen these before but not being an architect or anything, I don't know how much they resemble prototypical Irish outline. There is also another Bachmann stone building similar to this but maybe a better match for 44-252. I'll find a link as I would like to have some opinion from the members as I was thinking of asking this question anyway. Not sure if I'm in the correct forum to ask here....

    Thanks, btb. I actually picked up several of these from Seamus. It's the older stone station and running shed that are elusive. Thanks, Kevin

    Has anyone completed this kit before?

    Hi Rich, Thanks for your interest and your comments. I look forward to seeing you build this kit. Even though I like the bachmann scenecraft Irish outline buildings they are very limited in number and except for the smallest of displays I would need something more anyway. It would be nice to be able to put something on the layout with more of an Irish flavor Hopefully they are reasonably durable over time and do not fade to easily I guess they could always be replaced in time if required.

    BK, I understand that economies of working with a limited audience and agree with you. Despite their initial foray into Irish outline with PM they did not do a 500 limited run at least while PM is 'competing' for this small market. Hence my original concern, with only one real RTR producer, Irish outline rtr would be plunged back into the medieval ages (and no offence is intended to some on here who produce some very fine kits and those who model them)
