I model Irish Railways CIE & GNRI From 1960's to 1990's.Some are kits & others are bought and kitbashed. some are made from scratch. All rolling stock is wheathered which i think makes all the difference & realistic.I love to see other peoples work & i know how many hours it takes, but it's worth it.
Nice pictures
I see from your second picture the lower foot step is a little out of line.
This happened to mine.
It catches on the axle box and needs to be pulled out a little, as these are metal it is easily done.
HATTONS CIE 4 COACH PACK.
As this is the last thing I will ever get from Hattons it's nice to end on a high.
Lovely coaches with lots of detail and nice crisp lining and numbers.
Thanks to Rails of Sheffield for taking this project on.
The printing on the Dapol OOCL and APL looks poor.
With twin packs you get one you want and one you don't, I like to buy mine individually.
Perhaps Arran might do a rerun of the 40ft OOCL.
