Kinvara-Train

Lovely - this just gets better....

Thanks, is only 9mX3m and build in Plywood

Broithe hit the nail on the head when he said Genius! I always imagined building the whole Northern Line but never like that. I'd love to build Donabate bordered by two estuaries, the beautiful strecthes of coast at the Lady's Stairs and Gormanston Airfield, a busy Drogheda station with Enteprrise,s Tara Mines and Cement, then Boyne Viaduct and beyond!

Hi All

 

Good link BosKnoay, everyone into this idea should have a read of this page;-

 

http://www.free-mo.org/standard

 

They have some good ideas and this could give us a text template to work with. The sketches I have set-up so far, are very close to this.

 

It doesn't really matter what the boards are made of, they just have to be sturdy, same height and fit the specification for track joining. The free-mo.org idea of using C-clamps under the board on the down-stand to join tables is a good idea- nothing sticking out the sides! Though pin & socket locators should still be used, metal ones can be the electrical connections between the boards?

 

I will hopefully finish the drawings for discussion over the weekend

 

Again anyone have a network layout?

 

Hey, Walter where have you been- its good to hear from you

There was somebody on the old site talking about modular layouts...

Hi Broithe

thanks for mentioning my old forum issue but due to lack of interest it fell into a winter sleep (the irish railway modeller likes to cook his own broth)

http://www.free-mo.org/

 

Free Mo - the US standard for group modular layouts

that's the way you should go and plywood and no paper (MDF)

Martello Tower South No. 14

 

I have been messing with this idea for a long time. Now, eventually its coming together;-

 

The Seapoint Martello Tower & the Ordinance Bridge over the railway - this would go well on a layout with DARTs!

 

I have always connected the towers with the railway, I'm from Monkstown, therefore spent many days at Seapoint- if you were there you saw trains go by! It stuck!

 

The towers are part of our Eastern coast line, they are nice and interesting structures (questionable use they were intended for though), and some not kept well. The type and quality of the stonework was carried on through to the early railway works and the harbour, in my mind there all connected!

 

These are a few shots of a test cutting, I just used white aero-board to work it all out. The final one will be in blue foam with a resin reinforced surface. I have taken a bit of a licence on the design, if I worked to scale the model would be quite large and this design is to fit Baseboard Dave's display table with a curved track.

 

The bridge is wide and high enough for two tracks, cantenary wires and posts.

 

I'm not sure to what level this will be finished to, its early in the project and I'm just going to see what happens.

look's very good

Here are a few pics of my latest creation. Scratchbuilt in plastic & nickel silver, but very much based on the Alphagraphix card kit. Will add more details in my blog later this evening.[ATTACH=CONFIG]8761[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]8762[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]8763[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]8764[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]8766[/ATTACH]

out of the World

thanks

Walter

our very deepest sympathy to mike and his family on the sad loss of Stephen. he was truly a gentleman and Wexford will never be the same when I think of the nights in the hotel and the conversations on the trains.

Rest in Peace Stephen

Walter and Martina

thanks Mike, have a parcel for you from Dave (Wrenn) ex Ponytail

see you there

Walter

yes me

Wonder if this will make my Modelzone limited editions even more valuable? They did some nice ones over the years...

Yes,Sir

No buyer found for Modelzone, The 47 stores (included ex-beatties) could be closed and everything stock must go at up to half price.

let's go

THe Big One

Currently in administration. But then lots of companies do it to get cheaper rent etc. and come out the other side. HMV being one high profile example. Modelzone and the signal box have been linked for some years now.

Thank,s for Info, Heirflick,Warbonnet

Walter

Signalbox and ModelZone ?????????

Does anybody know where I could buy some clear plastic box like the stuff in the picture below, but without the ends. I was looking for something about 7 – 8 foot long and about one track wide so I could put a 071 and a rake of cravens on shelf without them getting dusty.

 

Or if you have some other Ideas I would love to hear them

look at http://www.sora.de

I have to agree, I bought a soldering station from Lidl last year and it burned trough the tips and then packed in. Steer clear its a false economy.

Better off investing in an Antex there not that expensive

yes Dave, I agree to

The difference isn't always clear - via twitter - https://twitter.com/tim_mc78/status/339763247588724737/photo/1 .

If you read that one way, it does sound like you have kidnapped him and are holding him to ransom for a piece of cake - I do rather hope that this is the case..

no hostage was taken on the show LOL LOL LOL

Em Walter you never offered me any of that cake!.

You will have to keep me a slice next year before

Mr Bracken gets it.
