NIRCLASS80

Now for Union of South Africa

Now for Dwight D Eisenhower

First pictures posted on flickr of this fantastic event. First 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley

They were actually classed as SD40M-2's so must correct my flickr pics.

Proto 2000, they were a limited release for the Canadian market.

The fertiliser is class

Couple of pics of some motive power.

It was a bit of a home made idea. Painted on some Pollyscale Grimy Black Acrylic paint and then quickly rubbed the wagon with computer cleaning wipes (70% IPA)until I was happy with the effect. Then added rust with brown artist oil paint and just added dots here and there and then just rubbed them downwards to get streaks. The bogies were painted grimy black and then a small amount of brown acrylic dabbed on to represent rust. I see I forgot to do the wheels on the BC Rail wagon!!

Added some photos on flickr of my first attempt at weathering stock. Please feel free to comment. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nirailfan/10562140114/in/photostream/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'> http://www.flickr.com/photos/nirailfan/

Thanks to Paddy Murphy that whole story line now looks pure class, as good as any other country. We should be very thankful, come on the 121's

Lovely modelling, I think this is my favourite irish themed layout.

Great stuff but don't forget the old Alco's. [video=youtube;o-s8ujItvqo]

I'm almost certain Paddy Murphy missed that wiper on the model!! For anyone now unhappy with the grey Murphy please forward them to myself!!

I would go for 6.

Thanks

Is it hard to remove the numbers from Murphys 071's and what do you use to remove them??

The report was that what really put First Group off was the fact that when they asked for the wiring diagrams for the units there was sketchy details of mods carried out during the years and that the class had ended up with no two units having the exact same wiring which is an absolute nightmare for unfamiliar electrical staff trying to find a fault. As for this being a sad sight if you suffered them on a regular basis and not just as an enthusiast then I'm sure you would be only too delighted to see them as a coke can, they ended up along with the Class80's almost causing the closure of the lines north of Ballymena and Whitehead.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could guide me to the workbench section in which these wagons were painted up for irish service. Although not like the irish prototype they did look very well.
