    Wow,excellent Richard! Livery wise, I presume you are talking about UTA black? It had an attractive straw and red lining, that went very well with the black. Here it is on a W class mogul, fresh out of York road, from an overhaul..
  2. GSR 800
    Pint for your troubles?
  3. GSR 800
    Ah John you couldn't be THAT terrifying surely?
  4. GSR 800
    Looking great Jason,well done
  5. GSR 800
    Excellent little layout John!, really captures the look of the C&L I'm not surprised if he is no longer supplying the Irish kits, as the market would be tiny, for narrow gauge Irish locomotives.

    Maybe a thread should be started for what locos looked like in the 40s-50s, body wise and livery wise,for modelling purposes?
  7. GSR 800
    Thought you might like that, so here's a few more..

    Yum..

    Any chance to sell,Des will be there! Have there crankpins arrived yet Des?

    OOn3. Would be a challenge indeed! Looking at it the chassis would be very difficult to build with an outside(or sandwich?) frame chassis like that, especially in narrow gauge. Hats off to the builder, whoever he is..

    Mint or not mint, that is the question.. Nice model though, and certainly the first model of an oil burning steamer I've seen..
  12. GSR 800
    I would take the GSR book if it's still available..

    Backwoods minatures kit David, and built to an excellent standard too.. Seems to be a bit of green there on the tender

    Something that has been hiding from me for a while.. And this website..http://www.chestermodelrailwayclub.com/stock.htm

    Sound man!

    Hi Richard, welcome to the forum! Dave (Wrenniere) of this forum may be the man to talk to, I'm sure he will be along soon.

    Would anyone be willing to put together a riveted smokebox etch for me? Would be greatly appreciated.

    David, if you are building a new layout with a turntable on it, the CDR built a turntable from the frames of a loco at killybegs, which would be of interest.

    Thanks David. I did indeed use a vice, a rather ancient one at that. Thanks for the idea, I will use it in the future:tumbsup:

    Go down and get yourself a pint JB! I don't think ranting is good for your Health!
  21. GSR 800
    Indeed! Sound Richie, I suppose Meabh acted as a steep (and suitably expensive) learning curve. At the end of the day I managed to get a good enough model of it, after a hell amount of sanding, but ultimately I should have started with something simpler, like the little j26. As for the mess, just wait a few months....
  22. GSR 800
    Ahh classic, cut down a tree with a herring..
  23. GSR 800
    Been slavin away at getting the running(thanks john) right, and then getting the motor fitted. After a few tests on the driving axle, and a few tweaks, and forty CoT later( they cups are decisively cropped from the picture!) proved successful, tests with the coupling rods were started, which were successful also (yippee!) At the moment she is a 2-4-0 as, like a total eejit,I managed to shear of some of the crankpins. Better send up some yo yos to Des.. Don't mind the mess..
  24. GSR 800
    "Knights of Ni"nonsense-stuff,right?
  25. GSR 800
    Never thought the Hunslets were ugly, even if they were unreliable. In the maroon livery, they looked especially good. But I always thought the 80 class were fugly
