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

The workbench has been very slow - a project that I have been working on is this Dapol B800 track cleaner. I'm not sure how well it cleans the track, but Irish Rail will soon be taking delivery of this track vacuum machine! Painting, details, decals and weathering to be added, but at least it is operational. Unsure if I will go for CIÉ/IR or modern Irish Rail logos.

It will certainly be worth the wait!

Got my liners out for a run this evening - must have missed an axle with the lube!
-
Thanks, luckily I still have my own hair...for now

I have just put together a static grass applicator from 3D printed parts and a module from eBay. A quick test to make sure it works....now I just have to build a layout. Yet another project to start.

I am oiling all of the axles on mine at the moment, all running freely afterwards so happy enough. I do appear to have one bogie which is too tight and is causing derailments so not entirely sure as I have oiled the centre pin as suggested and removed the bogie to scrape away any paint etc. A long run in may help.

Happy Christmas to all! Happy to have received my IRM liners and buffer stops recently. I'm prototyping some new loads to go on a rake at the moment - awaiting some parts for my 3D printer before I print the full body. Some tweaks also required to the 3D model.

I have found Micro Set and Micro Sol to be excellent when applying decals. A few applications of Micro Sol after placement really helps to settle the decal in. I usually brush over a coat of gloss or matt varnish to protect the decal.

Very nice weathering!

Great work!

I picked up this truck at the SDMRC show last weekend. I repainted the cab and crane, and altered the ramps at the back of the bed. Also applied some dry brushing to the bed. New registration plates were also applied to both models here.

I've looked before and I didn't find much. I'd go for murky and dark like this one in Moyasta. Also have a read fo this US site http://gshsignal.blogspot.com/2011/07/whats-on-inside-of-those-water-tanks.html

Hi Tony, I 3D printed this crest earlier this year. It is a bit rough but it might interest you.

I like these ones... https://twitter.com/IrishRailExcuse/status/1028538827328167942

Excellent, what products did you use?
-
Bachmann flat and round top are the same except for the flat top. The Irish ones are round top, and the flat tops can be converted with some styrene and filler before painting. Lots of decals on those models!

Paddy had 3/4 other cab samples, with the windows above the bonnet
