N scale 141, E Class, Sulzer and I commissioned the fictitious 'Goldeneye' train. The level of detail was good on all of them apart from the Sulzer. In fairness the Sulzer was a 5 or 6 years ago and the quality has improved a good bit.

That looks mega for sometime that was a 3D print. Fair play.
-
They really are awful. You cant even respray them because the glazing doesn't pop out.
-
I recently bought 4 of the short arse Mark 3's mistakenly. I'm not sure what to do with them now, maybe I could make up a few of these yokes:)
-
Kind words thank you. It's basically a very big train set. My inner child looses their mind every time they see it.
-
Quick video of some trains running
-
Lovely to see those pictures. You get a great sense of enjoyment from looking at them.
-
The look very nice. What kind of money?
-
This restaurant actually serves its drink with G scale trains. Epic.
-
Cheers lads, will be nice to have it running around the garden for the summer. I might be able to balance a pint in the open wagon.
-
Not the correct livery or prototypical, but much more presentable in the garden.

Everard junction strips his layout

I hear ya. She sometimes fall into the "let's carefully examine the box" category of video. I'll check that out. I like Sam and Chambs because they just like to run trains and don't take any of it too seriously. -

Enjoyed this youtube channel very much also. Along with Chambs123, Intercity82 and Sam's trains. Has anyone ever watched Jenny Kirk's Channel. A female railway modeller (pause for shock) https://www.youtube.com/user/jennyemily667 -
That's the plan, it's just a bit of cheap fun for the garden. I bought some decal paper so I am tempted to put an EDN snail on it!

I hear ya. Now this is slightly off topic but it's related. I loved the TV version of Thomas Tank when I was a child because of all it's wonderful miniatures. I never ever felt compelled to buy any of the hornby thomas stuff because it didn't look right. They just bashed up moulding they had already and put a face on it. When I saw the Bachmann stuff, which is new tooling and a faithful reproduction of what I remember from the TV show as a child It had an immediate emotional effect based on memory. So I bought some.

Not to mention that sight itself is subjective. There is a psychological factor, people see and remember colours in very different ways. I myself am slightly colour blind and rely and pantone numbers for accuracy.
-
That's the thing about photos, even now. I have worked in print for years - You cant rely on them for colour matching whatsoever. You can use photographic techniques to reproduce artwork and get completely different results.
-
I picked this up recently. It's battery operated but it's looks like its based on a german prototype and is nicely detailed. With some modification - especially the chimney - it might bare a passing resemblance to and Irish narrow gauge loco. Its G gauge.
-
Cheers for that. My can of grey primer will do the job so!
-
Cheers for that. I might do one with a snail anyway. I always fancied the wild west look of the ones fitted with cow catchers.
-
Mk3's arrived, I ordered the wrong type - the ye olde hornby ones which are the wrong length and the windows don't pop out. Grrrr. My mistake. Will have another go.
-
Mega work. Bravo.
-
Cheers for that. I actually have that book somewhere so I'll have a route.
-
Susu-motor fitted and Mark 3's have arrived. Will post some good quality pics.
-
Hi, Forgive if this has been covered before. Did any of the narrow gauge loco's that wound up being operated by CIE ever bare the snail? What was the colour scheme? I know some the coaches did. Cheers
