Very nice work. can i ask what colours did you use for the green & grey?

Very nice cottages. They look so Irish and much better then a plastic kit. Keep building

Just got mine today, another great read. The drawings are nice but i don't model steam so drawings of wagons & coaches would be nice to see.

Nice model, anymore pic's. A second motor should mean it should never stall. I was thinking of using a Bachmann DMU motor & chassis with the brass upper body on a 2 coach set and cut the chassis to the right length. That's the plan anyway.

It is going to be hard for you to better that. Great model, sound and video.

Thanks. I'll have to get some of that transfer paper and try it.

Thanks, they look great. Are they easy to make?

great pic's and looking forward to more. Can i ask where do you get the Garda Transfers?

Great job on the wagon. You are going to have a beautiful set of wagons that money can't buy.

Nice lorries. Who makes them & what scale are they?

Great video John. Beautiful landscape. What type of ore is carried in the hopper wagons?

Looks great. can't wait for the paintwork, nice and dirty please.

Looking good so far John. Can't wait.

The loco looks good and the vans too. With weathering it is knowing when to stop.

Very nice. More pic's please.

Looks great, so many nice things. keep the pic's comming.

Thank's for all your comments. It took a few months to build and i don't have anymore pic's of the construction but i will take more on the next build. The glazing is just clear plastic which is not that clean and scratched if seen closeup. the roof is just sitting their and still needs to be fixed down properly. The next one will be Black & Tan.

Bredin Coach with Brass etch sides. I have had a go at converting a Dapol coach with JM Designs brass etch sides. cutting the plastic sides off to start with was a bit of a job and nearly lost a few fingers. I also added small door handles, soldered on. And i used 2 Bachmann Commonwealth Bogies. The seating was all hand built and 6 people added near the windows so they can be seen. The pipework on the roof was made with 1mm plastic rod and torpedo vents from MJT. The green paint was mixed myself until i had a shade i was happy with. I will make the next one without using the plastic body shell and i will use brass plate for the floor & ends then solder the sides to that.

I would be happy with the etch sides and i will make the floor and ends myself with brass plate already bought so i can solder the sides on.

You won't be disappointed, they look so good.

I would love to have the GSV please.

No nothing this time, maybe the next one.
