    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.

    Thanks Alan, That makes sense, now I know more about hornblocks
  2. popeye
    I know nothing about hornblocks but, If they move up & down could you do without the compensation beam?

    It might be easier to 3D print the whole thing Body, Roof, Floor and Bogies.

    Great to see it in real life. Modelling of buildings, loco's, coaches and scenery were all top level.

    I will be at the Ulster Model Railway show this weekend and selling lots of second hand TTA wagons and 2 sets of 4 oil wagons that I have repainted, new transfers and weathered. Also some nice rail cranes some repainted and weathered. Hope to see you there.

    They look great and the roof detail does make them stand out from other models. Shades of green are always a problem. Mix your own to get the colour you are happy with. You can't go by photo's but it helps. In real life they were varied and aged so pick a shade you like.

    You do need to experiment with resins to find one that can flex enough without snapping. I have some CK Prints wagons and they are ok with putting wheels in.
  8. popeye
    4 wheel wagons don't usually need rocking W-irons and underframes could be made with a more flexible resin to get the wheels in.

    Very useful as the tops are not seen so much.

    Hornby Hand Crane. These are old with black base and red or yellow crane. I have painted the whole thing grey and then weathered it. Removed the oversized chains and replaced with 0.5mm string. Little metal hand cranks have also been added.
