[quote name=Robert Davies; Because of my depression' date=' I sincerely believe that everything I do is rubbish - I'm not playing for praise, I just see no merit in anything I may have achieved - -Rob[/quote] rob, top marks to your wife for getting you into modelling - a great way of using the old grey matter and helping to show your creative side - which is excelent so far! . be proud of what you do, we can all learn from it. its also a great way to pass the time and there is always plenty of banter on here!

you better stop laughing there anto.....the hole he's digging is for you!!!

that sounds great....if only us gobshites knew what you were talking about

would look well on anyones rails ! well done.

anto, what ha[ppened to the cab side of B113?

beautiful robert!. as well as my passion for steamers, i am strangely attracted at all yellow liveried p/way equipment....and yours my friend, would be very at home in any per/way depot...well done. dont forget a few decals from westy and as the bos said a bit of weathering!

there was one happier lad - when i left brendans with a sulzer!

looks like a great show with some great layouts. always liked rosslare strand...thanks for posting the pics kirley. i hope you gave 'Meadb ' a kiss from me! i have to get there and see that big girl soon. was there any modern traction on bleach green? i was betting it would be all steamers!

john, fair play to you - the hornby 4f.....now thats a thought thats going to fester! have been compairing your drawing with a pic of a 4f. lenghten the cab, extend the frane at the front , stick in a pony truck, remodel wheel arches and replace the dome........conversion doable?

[And is there a tap at the back?] dont worry broithe we'll make a tap! is that you in the pic with the basin?

similar tanks were used on the asahi liners to ballina, carrying acrylontrile which were inyroduced in 1975

gm, will you deliver that trailer with her load to portlaoise please:cheers:

yes but cant find it. will have a gape in that photobucket place...and will post it

no, definately not! he has a good point though!

understood anto, but while pulling rpsi stock, as steven said they were never more than a little dusty. i do agree with what you say about layouts with pristine locos running...they do look out of character. strange to see that every pic i see of the nir 071's they are always spotless - love the way the lads look after them!

BUILD THEM FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST!!! no pressure gareth, but if you do i will be your first customer!

well if i can give it a lash - then anyone can!

did you convert yours bos?

heres my Merlin. she was a heart breaker at the time, but im thrilled with her and she is a great little runner. i have another schools class that i plan to do a similar V, no 208 'lagan' with her smoke deflectors. [ATTACH=CONFIG]3505[/ATTACH

at least you have your own 'dunluce'....why you had to weather her i dont know

eamonn, what type of bulbs/wireing did gerry use for the headlights?

what other things of beauty have you hidden away?

beautiful...have her myself - a convert from a schools. the real thing is an eligant lady. the rpsi dont get enough praise for keeping steam alive.

heres the clip of 461 at speed bouncing like mad! forward to 7 minutes in... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Aq7bcY9tuao
