That must be it! Thanks, she won't be impressed

Some inspiration for your build: https://youtu.be/5Rcm6zckN70

Did you order the kit or pre-assembled? The kit took me 10.5 hours but it was worth it.

An OO scale container printed in PLA, needs clean up: Some O scale details: If you want to print larger functional prints this was printed in PETG:

I am happy with the Prusa MK3S.

Saw 4/5 satellites, a meteor and a 747 just now I had apparently seen 1 off satellites before, but the location, trajectory and distance between 2 or more made it seem like a single satellite. They are quite faint also.
-
I've been looking up for the last year and have not seen them yet.

Dave over at https://www.modelrailbaseboards.com/ is doing servicing.

Another thing I never noticed I guess that didn't really matter to me so.

I used a Bachmann Fairburn as a basis. The closer you look the more differences you see, for example the sweep down just before the cab is missing and there is an additional rib along the boiler. I had thought that this model (https://www.hattons.co.uk/525667/bachmann_branchline_32_350_po21_standard_class_4mt_2_6_4t_80061_in_br_black_with_early_emblem_pre_owned_minor_/stockdetail.aspx) may work but now the front seems a bit off. The Fowler conversion in New Irish Lines is a lot more involved than mine - I just finished my version.

Thanks @Galteemore

There was a lot of running around, for example at Rosslare Harbour. I found this video which shows locos running around at Cobh and also Limerick Junction.

This wagon was 3D printed, sanded and painted - and represents a prototype beet wagon that was mounted on a 20 foot flat wagon. I don't have a spare 20 foot wagon at the moment but here is the body.
-
I don't have a layout or dedicated room, so this is the workbench. I have storage and another room for the more workshop type of tools. The 3D printer also lives in the workshop.
-
Some progress on the workbench. I have started printing of the 40 foot beet wagon bodies and will have a rake of 10 shortly. I tried some heavy weathering on a provincial wagons container and finally finished my model of the Rosslare Harbour lifeboat 5 years after starting it. The decals on this Airfix model are poor quality but I'm just happy that it is done.

The part circled needs to be installed when running on DC, or it needs to be removed and replaced with a digital decoder when running on DCC. Make sure it is installed correctly and is in contact with all the pins. There is a right way and a wrong way to put it in.
-
I'm all ears if you need anything!

Great work Kieran, I look forward to having a fleet of these in OO some day. i myself have just printed a 40 foot beet wagon for myself (see my workbench thread) - a lot simpler than the work you have shown here though! Looking forward to the progress of this.
-
Thanks, it will hopefully look better when painted and weathered! Thanks Noel. I printed it on my Prusa MK3S which took 6 hours. It is PLA - I tried a test with PETG also. It is pretty study with 2 layers in most places using a 0.4mm nozzle. I have a 0.25mm nozzle but am not sure if it will be of benefit to what little detail there is on it, not to mention almost doubling the print time.

Hot off the presses - the first full test print of the 40 foot beet wagon, sized to fit on the IRM 42 foot flats. Some clean up and refinement required. Print time just under 6 hours. Decals applied to the Dapol B800
