They're here! Tara Mines Now in Stock!!

 

The wait is finally over, after a long and perilous journey from China, the Tara Mines wagons are now in stock and how good do they look? A perfect companion for your 071 or our forthcoming A!

 

The first tranche of orders left our warehouse today, with another huge amount to get through tomorrow! Here are some close ups, and with over half the production run already sold we cant see them sticking around for long.

 

 

 

 

 

Don't miss out, order yours today! Thanks to everyone for your patience in waiting for these. It's been one hell of an ordeal, but we're delighted to finally have them here and making their way to you all! 

 

Cheers,

 

Fran

Those Tara Wagons look superb, and the spinning axles are probably a first for ready to run railway wagons. Nice work Irish Railway Models.

Just noticed this, don't know how it got in, Ronnie Deegan was running it last night and I thought it looked well

 

Lovely work. Has come a long way since last post. Love the countryside backboard and the scenery work done on the pathways.

Got take n play Rex, Mike and Bert the arlesdale miniature engines for future custom projects.

Looks like a lot of fun!

sure was.

Grey Season 1 Troublesome Truck project is now in the works.

Modified my Bachmann Duck by painting his black buffer housings to their correct red colour.

Progress on the pink open wagons coming along nicely, near finished. will be working on the grey Season 1 Troublesome Truck shortly.

Main decals done tonight. Now have to design a few additional details, print and put on. Indoor lighting used and decals not sealed yet.

Nice autoballasters, Robert.  Both old and new Irish Rail logos fit perfectly against the yellow livery.

Modified my Bachmann S.C. Ruffey with black buffers and coupling hooks as well as painting a plastic coal load light grey for ballast.

Bought Bachmann Troublesome Trucks over the years until, as of 2018, I have five each of the five Troublesome Trucks Bachmann has made, and swap the faces around.

Added brake pipes to my Bachmann Rosie as the model came without them. Brake pipes came from my broken Bachmann Mavis.

Pictures of my Bachmann James with his grey wheels, grey tender axles and red smokebox sides repainted to their correct black colour. bear in mind my James model is the original 2002-2016 model, as opposed to the 2017 redesign.

Some updates since my last post

Signal Box now painted and detailed:

 

 

 

 

The Station building , from the road, with shot from left and right hand side

 

 

 

And from the platform

 

 

There is a weighbridge mentioned on the original drawings of Ballyglunin so we have added this one which is of the same dimensions but we have no pics

 

 

 

 

Great Job on the signal box and the station building is coming along nicely. keep it up!

Footage of Wolverhampton Model Railway Club's iconic OO Gauge layout of Stoke Summit, based on a real life location on the East Coast Main Line, set on the Eastern Region of British Railways in the late 1950's/1960's.

Filmed by me during the 2012 Nottingham Model Railway Exhibition.

Enjoy!

Products due for release between October to December 2018.

I am converting some flat top autoballasters to round top in preparation for painted into IÉ yellow. Some filing and filling and they should make it past the two foot rule.

Lovely.

My latest model project: The Foreign Engine (Also Known As Big City Engine). Model is Hornby Patriot Class 'Bradshaw' (R3278) and the face is from the discontinued and now rare Take n Play Big City Engine. Next step is adding the engine's crest on the tender.

not going to bother adding the crest now, thus ruling The Foriegn/Big CIty Engine project completed.

Hornby announced release date pushed back to October 2018 for this engine's 2nd run.

More Progress photos below. finished most of the window frames and glazings for the storey wings and the storey wings themselves.

After a month's hiatus with all the snow among other things, my layout progress is back on track! Started printing out the components for the storey wings ready to be glued onto card and put together today. Watch this space.
