  1. Studio Scale Models GN Brakevan. Here are two pic's of the brass kit brakevan, it's one i done a while back but only took some photo's the other night.
  2. That's a lot of cutting and joining, i want to build one but it will be a big job. What is the best glue for that type of plastic?
  3. PALLET CEMENT WAGON. Here are some pic's of a pallet cement wagon scratch built by me. Using my own underframe that i made with a mould & the main body was built with Wills Kits box steel plastic sheets, all the rest is made of plastic. Buffers by MJT 2350, Chain from Cambriam Models 1 metre 33 links per inch £7.90.
  4. The double stack containers were carried on Bogie wagons & 4 wheel wagons. Here are some pic's. The model is mine, the other two pic's are not.
  5. Stunning work, beautiful loco & love the colour. The crew are the icing on the cake.
  6. Very nice video well done. I think the guy in the DHL van is lost though.
  7. Plasser Tamper Machine is due in stock at Hatton model railways in August 2014.
  8. Thank's for that info. Just found more chain even finer 33 links per inch x 1 meter £7.90 from Cambrian Models. Would anyone have a picture of these cement wagons in an ulster location ?
  9. Love the vans really nice. The wagons are great, you can get fine chain from Langley Models 30 in long 27 links per inch £3.40. Does anybody know if these cement wagons came up to the north to Belfast ?
  10. Great work. The vans look amazing and the inspection car is so cute.
  11. Looks really great, and the sky helps with the realism of the landscape. Good job
  12. Just beautiful to look at and great photography. Well done.
  13. Companies like Dapol can produce models in England and are not bad on price. As costs in China go up some models could be made in the UK or Eire in the future perhaps. And there would be no shipping costs.
  14. Hi cg, I used solder & super glue. Use solder for the main structure and super glue for things like the thin strips down the sides also glue the buffers as they will melt if soldered as i found out. You will learn a lot and be impressed with the end result. Good luck and let us see it when it's done.
  15. That's very nice, looks so real & great weathering.
  16. Love the wagons, what make are the open wagons & what grey paint do you use? Look forward to the finish.
  17. Here are some wagons that i have been weathering. This wagon was made with a TTA oil wagon chassis made a bit shorter & bits cut off & MIR beer keg containers. The kegs were made by me from plastic tube cut and all stuck together.
  18. Hi David, I sent an email on 19 March for 10 Bubbles, did you get it ok or will i resend it. Thanks Patrick.
