    Nice looking scene there Eamonn

    I've run out of glue sorry for the poor quality picture. Yes 20 of them. I will get a video of them in one train when done. Plans in my head for Wellingtonbridge....I'd need another 100 wagons for that though! Not sure yet. I'll put the decals on and try some weathering powders and airbrushing.

    Ten more beet wagons on the bench tonight - from Leslie at Blackrock this weekend.

    I've put together a video of passenger trains filmed while waiting for some of the more unusual movements this year

    Thanks everyone! As was the case in Mallow, that folk was myself, d'oh!

    Some video of the Munster Double that I took:

    Lovely work!

    Even more memorable than the double header!

    I've just uploaded a video of RPSI No. 461 passing Booterstown on 15th June 2017. And my previous video of 077 on 'The Slaney' railtour on a wet August day.

    Superb!

    I've just uploaded a video of 086 and 'The South Kerry Railtour' passing Clondalkin/Fonthill on 5th May 2017. [video=youtube;XzFPAD_oR-g] Also my previous video of the Belmond Grand Hibernian arriving and stabling at Gorey Station on the 29th April 2017 is also available:

    Simple poll though before opening it I hadn't thought of anything after the orange carriages had left the rails!

    The lines and details on that are just stunning, can't wait to see the paint job!

    Have a look at 3dhubs.com. You send your design to a local printer and get your part printed. It can be pretty cheap. I modeled a part using 123D from AutoDesk which is free to download and pretty easy to use, especially if the part is simple. You might be able to get someone else to do a model for you - I would offer but I'm too busy at the moment. I previously printed a few parts for the C class I am working on.

    I use an Aldi/Lidl version which I find good. They're cheap and the included sanding disks, bits etc have done me for most stuff to do with model railways. You can get better quality accessories either or in addition if you need it.

    Magnificent detailed work, it looks spot on.

    Number 4 looking well there, great scene!

    I don't think that the Oxford Mark 3's are a perfect match to what ran here. So far with the ballasts and bubbles Irish Railway Models have gone for accuracy, so I'm not sure that the Oxford coaches would fit in with that?

    Hi John, I sprayed the wagons with an airbrush. I diluted the paint slightly with IPA and it went on very well.

    There are some photos of Jacobs trucks, containers etc on http://digital.libraries.dublincity.ie/vital/access/manager/Index such as these shown below (better resolution availabe on the site. I know nothing more about them though.

    Thanks Nelson. Would you be able to suggest a colour? I used Tamiya acrylic XF10 flat brown on these. Great reference there, I will definitely try to replicate some of the weathering in those shots. Good - this beet kit was really simple and good fun. I have many projects on the go, most of which have been sitting untouched for a while, hoping to get back to them shortly.

    I gave four of them a coat of flat brown yesterday - picture to follow. Weathering to definitely follow. Toning down of the brown, perhaps dry brush with some greys and add dirt and grime. I didn't make any of the single beets, this is the first railway kit that I have done. I found the chassis to be grand, I only had to trim the back off a few brake shoes where it was catching a wheel. I did however manage to put the brake gear on the wrong side of the wagon, despite the instructions clearly stating which way they should go. Thanks for the pictures and video!
