WRENNEIRE Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Stunning layout Ferg but the model railway police are on the way to arrest the driver of the LNER J15!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Absolutely stunning layout! With no 00 Works J15s left now, unless they do a re-run or you get lucky on ebay, you'd do a lot worse than just repaint one of those LNER ones in dark grey and weather the living daylights out of it............ I thought of doing that years ago before the 00 Works ones came out. You need a brake van also for those beet wagons - they only ran without them once they became double decked - Leslie's "Provincial Wagons" one, Mayner's CIE one(s), or Studio Scale Models' brass kit of a CIE one would do that job perfectly! Keep the pics coming - the scenery on that layout sets a bar for all of us. Your attention to detail of the rural landscape is unreal. What's that station building, if I may ask - is it Skaledale? Also, what's the beet load? Edited May 26, 2022 by jhb171achill 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergalm1 Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 @jhb171achill some good knowledge there - thank you. A repaint is on the cards along with a repaint of the brake van which driver forgot to attach and had to return to Borris for after @WRENNEIRE called the Gardai on him. As if things weren't bad enough, work on Bagenalstown (Muine Bheag) Station house has come to a standstill after labourers downed tools - something to do about material cost inflation and a fixed contract price. Borris Station building made from card with Das clay applied and a roller to imprint the stone pattern (have posted a photo of the roller on the previous page). Beet is also made from small pieces of Das clay formed into shape. I made a latex mould from a pile of the pieces, fitted to wagon size and then was able to replicate a good few times from resin quickly. Hand painted after to give variety of colour. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergalm1 Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Having dropped into the Wexford train show and seen a few Bedford SS "Bus Scoile" on display only to be disappointed to learn that they're impossible to source, I set to making one from scratch. First prototype attached. Modelled from diagrams I found in a New Irish Lines volume. Main body laser cut from laser ply on Beamo desktop laser with rough sanding of a balsa piece to form the roof. Not as good as the models on display in Wexford but it's a start and can hide between the ditches on some part of the Borris layout when complete. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fergalm1 Posted February 11 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 11 Why indeed….. well the other job.. GAA is getting in the way. So after Carlow having a win over Meath today, I’m posting a small update. Bagenalstown (Muine Bheag) extension is off the blocks (well some of the buildings anyway. Station house is close to completion, just waiting on the glazier to come around and also to do a bit of paint touch ups that I have now noticed after putting the camera on them. Signal box, engine shed and opposite platform shelter also coming along. 2 week break in the National Hurling League, might get some more done 24 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, the new IRM ones are nearly as good as mine, as modelled by Michael. My records show that I've sold you a couple of mine, Fergal - but I didn't realise that you were hiring out Mott's Line for trials of new rolling stock! Apologies. The dustbin Zinc colour has been well captured by IRM's Chinese accomplises. Lovely.
