NIRCLASS80

Thanks for the comments

Yes I found the Hornby Mark 3 coaches ok. The glazing is a pig to get out without breaking so I gave up and just fitted new windows by flushglazing. See the results here in photo and video. The genny coach is yet to be constructed. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nirailfan/

Thanks rebelred for your comments I have uploaded a couple of videos of the rake. The genny van is still to be constructed.

A couple of images uploaded of my Irish Rail Mk3 set that I have just completed apart from the genny.

I think McCullough's in Bangor have a blue NIR GM in stock. I saw one yesterday but I cannot confirm which one.

There was also a model of Ballymoney knocking about. It was at Cultra show if I recall correctly.

Try to find a local car components shop that mixes paint. When you find one ask for RAL2011 and this does the job. Here are a couple I have done. We Have a good supplier in Ballymoney but I think you maybe at the other end of the country.

I would also say DCC is the way to go. The Lenz 100 set that I have is now 18 years old and still going strong, I got its software upgraded a couple of times but has performed faultlessly. Lenz is expensive but after having the set 12 years I let the handset fall and smashed the LCD screen. I returned it to Lenz for repair who sent it back repaired and no charge. Lenz also have a good overload cut out in an event of a short circuit, some other sets require a separately purchased short protector and I have heard of a few horror stories of people frying decoders in locos etc. Lenz set now looks dated but you cannot always go on looks.

Great Photos and lovely modelling.

Thanks to everyone for there help.

Thats it, or here it is in all its glory behind 113.

Could anyone help me with NIR Colour codes or paint matches for the Enterprise stock used in the Early 1990's. Blue / Fawn with the black/white /yellow stripe? Thanks for any help in advance.

Right who is going to bid for this??? http://boingboing.net/2014/01/23/house-for-sale-complete-with.html

Lovely job. Must get a few once they are available

The Cravens look wonderful. I feel they are the best coaches ever produced by Mr Murphy.

Really neat.

Sorry for your loss.

Cannot understand why 3 rail is still the largest market in North America, don't really like it myself.

Here is my attempt at O scale modelling. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nirailfan/

Here is areal classic shot from 1992. Enjoy

Thanks
