I was speaking to Alan  during the week and that's what he told me.

So i ordered two GSWR coaches in the meantime.

Very nice rake and i like the background.

As there was no engine John jumped of and took the horse. 

Here is a picture from the oo works web site showing the latest prototype picture of the

101 class J15 in all metal construction. 

Nice pic's, thanks for sharing. 

I was there on Saturday, it seemed a bit quiet.

Very nice. I have tried these and they are fine but my printer is crap.

The speed van would look better with two morons inside. 

Lovely loco's and coaches.

what colour will you do the coaches? and could we get a closer look at the two red ones please? 

And don't forget the C Class, it would be good on a small layout too. and steam.

I will take two and the brake third would be nice too.

The detail is amazing. 

Will you be able to take the loads in and out through the top?

So, I was wondering if the fert wagons are able to be loaded, how do you get the loads in and out?

And what about the middle bay with the two beams across the middle bay? 

Looks great, I'll be working day and night too.

Is that a pic of the CIE one?

Here is a picture of the ratio oil tanks kit No 530 or 529.

Very nice. The balance weight on the middle wheel looks bigger than the others, was this normal?

Maybe something like this.

Looks very complicated.

If this does not run smooth it might cause some drag. 

They look great, well done.

They remind me of hovercraft's with those skirts. 

Very nice. It's all the detail parts that make all the difference. 

Looks the part. There's always a tractor around somewhere in Ireland.

A good accessory for a model J15 is a crew: driver and fireman in overalls, plus a tall figure with a black beret and long brown overcoat - Bob Clements hitching a lift as he often did!

Once I get the present layout up and running, various well known characters will appear about the place in the form of little figures..... 

I have been looking around for figures. Some are better than others with regards to the fine detail and painting.

Here is a pic of the Bachmann set. 36-047.

OMG such detail, and beautiful.

Really lovely and very typically Irish. 

That colour looks just right.

I ordered a black J15 but i have changed this to the grey and i will then cover it in dirt with very very little grey showing through.

Anyone else had an outage last night?

More maintenance needed?

Me too. 

Beautiful, that fire escape looks very complex. 

Very nice. Looking forward to the painting.

How is the roof attached?
