leslie10646 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Yep, Patrick (Good to see you yesterday) the wagons look at home there. WCR, glad you liked the wee van. The Broken Wheel sold out early yesterday. When Paddy M came, I had to dip into the reserve (Family / people I'd forgotten .....) - but who wouldn't oblige a gentleman who has MADE the Irish hobby? Down to last half dozen snails. If there's the demand (Speak up!), another Wheel with a different number will follow. I like the two colour Broken Wheel (which Claire in The Studio at Dapol got so nicely), so I won't need too much persuading. Also an a Bauxite body / roof version when I dig out the photos. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Davey Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Again the time passes quickly and suddenly it’s the wee small hours….. windows completed today on the station building with only the sash panes to be glazed. Wall assembly has also started and weathered tiles were added to the roof. This all means that the main shell of the building is nearing completion. 8 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t claim any credit for the weathering on the roof tiles though because they’re all pre-printed! From Scale Model Scenery, worth checking out! That’s the basic structure of the building assembled with some internal walls added - it’s almost ready to place it on the layout to get an idea of how it will look. Plenty more details to go however. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Davey Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 The station building has progressed sufficiently to be tried in place on the layout. I am happy enough with the dimensions and overall appearance, although there is lots more detailing to be done before it is fixed permanently in place but very happy with this one! 14 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Davey Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Clogherhead station building exterior almost complete: roof finished today, with barge boards and finials, also guttering and downpipes. Chimneys were also fixed in position and lead flashing installed, and the sliding doors in the platform side glazed panel were also returned to their location. Just the doors to add then a small canopy over the front door, and a larger one on the platform side. An enjoyable build!

Flying Snail Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I love your ability to capture the descent into dereliction and retain a sense of the beauty the building would have had in its heyday.

Patrick Davey Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Work is busy at the moment, but here are some pics of recent work on my ‘Clogherhead’ station building. Platform elevation doors installed and I have added a bit of darker green to parts of the wooden glazed panel, to match the doors. I have also been working on another important item……. 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullygrainey Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Just brilliant Patrick. Real craftsmanship and every inch GNR(I). I like the headboard too. Is that for Mr Weaver’s new bed? 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Davey Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Today’s work is more a matter of convenience. Mr. Weaver is dying to spend a penny so he hopes the builders get finished before things get awkward. Amiens Street have just released funding which can be used to improve toilet facilities on station platforms. I suppose it could be called a flush fund…. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
