Having just watched this video I can say that it is highly recommended! Screenshot from the video:

All comments are appreciated! Got my IRM Tara Mines wagons and some MERG kits last week in time for Christmas.
-
Thanks everyone The cement wagons were painted last week, I think the blue on the curtain is too dark, but I also think that it might do when weathered.
-
Wow that looks great
-
RPSI 3173 - painted the sides today. Waiting on some detail parts to complete the roof and chassis. The original glazing will be reused.
-
Looks great, best of luck with it!
-
Thank you, I'll give it a go.
-
Can anyone recommend a blue for the curtain cement wagons please? RPSI 3173 has also progressed this weekend - painting next week.
-
Here is the information affixed to the buffer stop on the siding in Wellingtonbridge showing the distance and spacing of the friction elements.

This week I made a start on RPSI 3173 from a Bachmann BSK donor. I also picked up 6 MIR curtain cement pallet wagons and put them together this afternoon. Another job was to attempt to straighten the chassis on a completed beet wagon which was warped. A dip in some hot water and cooling under weight seems to have removed most of the wobble.

Looks good Noel, do you have a Bill Bedford handrail bending jig? Handy for these jobs.
-
Looking forward to seeing the different liveries on the site!
-
There is a screw to regulate the flow. As it is so heavy it does a good job. I'd get the Dapol one just to repaint it into an Irish livery but I have heard that it only does a so-so job.
-
Really informative, everyone!
-
Thanks, I had seen them on the Mark 2s at Whitehead also, just interested!
-
Does anyone know what the red star seen on railway stock mean? (Just finished applying over 200 decals to 4 autoballasters...) Thanks!
-
Thanks Leslie, they are a great little model.

42ft Container Flats Pre-orders begin this weekend at Raheny!
RobertRoche replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
Are you still considering offering the liner wagons without containers - a few rakes would be great. -
Thank you, it's still sitting there, waiting to be finished.
-
Thanks JHB, it's a Bachmann Fairburn, which is a good approximation for now.
-
I think No. 4 looks well in grey.
-
Nice job, I think the textured finish on the cement wagons is what really makes these models look good
-
HI George and Dave, Thanks for your help. I am only removing the grab rails off the front of 7071 o just need to do a bit of touching up. @WRENNEIRE if you are at the Raheny show I would be interested in spares for MM locos, mayber even an all grey body too!

You can solder both sides as long as you don't get a blob of solder interfering with the wheels of a train as it crosses the join. It will probably be a stronger joint too.
