Building is complete except for weathering and one or two minor details

Many thanks for the feedback

Can anybody identify the coach in this vie of Bantry station

Thanks very much for the info

This is the other one!

Two more photos of Bantry Station

The containers really look the part-all in a great setting.Well modelled.

CIE posters for Bantry,Micks Bandon tank outside Bantry shed plus some 1950's photos

Have thought about this as well- will gauge reactions at next club meet.Thanks very much for all comments-they are most appreciated.

Good point David-I went a bit too far with the interior detail-still it was good practice!

We have made some progress on Bantry station building.The basic shell has been assembled and some detailing

taken place.The shell is Daler board covered with Evergreen clapboard (now very expensive!).Windows and doors are from

Peco (one of the LK Packs)Bricks on the chimney are Slaters and will be painted with Humbrol 121 and detailed with Brick colour

(Precision Dark Brick) and also one or two slight colour variations.(pictures later)Furniture is scratch built-not brilliant

but it will do! will update as work progresses.

Have attached a photo of Bantry station in later years

That trainshed is a superb piece of building David.The painting and weathering is in a different class.

just been on Google.If you search "gaelic script generator bunchlo gc" you will see a heading Gaelic Script for MS windows

Go in to this and you will have a list of scripts-click on Bunchlo GC and you should be able to import it to Excel-hope this helps

If you search on Google for this script I believe there is a link to Excel which you can send the file to

Just checked Excel and I believe the script is listed as Bunchlo GC

I searched Google for Gaelic script-there are many variations!I selected the script that by deduction seemed to be correct for Bantry.

I clicked on and by some fluke it appeared in my Excel spreadsheet(there is probably a technical method to describe this but I am still

in the dark ages!)I then selected the script from the Font drop down box,formatted the area I wanted and typed in Bantry

When the scale looked ok I printed it out and stuck it on scratch built name boards.Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for for the kind comments.

Very high standard set on these David-really superb work.

Should inspire many to scratch build

We have started to detail the bay itself and a wreck of an old fishing boat built (purely fictitious)

Also work on the landing stage has started

The other photo shows the component parts of the main station building ready to assemble

Great work=Control panels look superb

here are a couple of pics of Leslie's excellent H Vans on Bantry Pier

They really look the part-very pleased with them and his excellent service

Looks like being another winner David

Excellent - quick work - lucky it wasn't spotted whilst you were still in the school, you might have had to stay behind.

They still made me do 100 lines-" I must not hit the buffers!"

Superb modelling, very realistic, well done TDR

Thanks for the kind comments

Here are a couple of photos of Bantry signal cabin updated with correct Gaelic script

Thanks very much for the kind word and photos Broithe-it was nice meeting you yesterday

have attached a few more photos

Sorry to read of your decision to 'disappear' over some comments made by someone who clearly should know better. As a new member to the site, I can honestly say I have admired the work you have completed and shown. I can only hope I can achieve the same standard one day. It is a great loss to everyone to lose such an inspiration. Keep posting and ignore the negativity.
