UP6936 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 I wonder does he like 201s? Lovely loco though, is she going to get etched nameplates?
enniscorthyman Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 She's looking good Tom.You can never have too much 201s-buy more!.
gm171 kk Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Great work Tom. You must be one of the few along with myself who prefer 201s over the other GMs.
Riversuir226 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks lads there's another 201 wrapped up under the Xmas tree and after that (fingers crossed) 230 will be the last to be added to the roster, as far as I know 209 never carried nameplates.
Riversuir226 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Great work Tom. You must be one of the few along with myself who prefer 201s over the other GMs. I love seeing the 201's, I m happy when I see the 071's but it's always a bit sweeter seeing a 201.

Sulzer201 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Very impressive lineup of class locos. Excellent.
Dave Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Looks lovely Tom, your hard work has paid off.
RedRich Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 I love it Tom. I bet it feels equally at home with the rtr models, and the fact that it is all your own work makes it that little bit special. Rich,

Riversuir226 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) nearly there:banana: Edited February 26, 2014 by Riversuir226
Riversuir226 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) The lady of the house showed me how to upload pics of my phone. First project is a few more beet wagons to bring my rake up to 12, dapol prestwin chassis with corrugated plasticard sides and plastistruct supports will eventually form the body. Edited March 5, 2014 by Riversuir226
enniscorthyman Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I would love to see the on going build of the Beets Tom,as I only have 8 which are shapeways and hope to increase the wagon numbers at a later stage.

No prob Eamonn, I ve these 3 awaiting the supports and another two at chassis level so I ll post up measurements etc as I do the last two The rest of the rake Edited March 5, 2014 by Riversuir226
Riversuir226 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 The lads down in the wagon shop have been busy 9 finished bar the decals, will be starting number ten tonight.
Riversuir226 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Nice one Richie,they must of lost a few bob on the horses last week cause there's a few 60ft container flats gone into the works and strong rumours of a little 201coming in for a major overhaul
gm171 kk Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Nice work on the beet wagons Tom. Which one of your 201s is getting the overhaul?
Riversuir226 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Cheers Sean, I'm rebuilding a silverfox c class(little 201)still deciding on a livery thought.
UP6936 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 How about Black and Tan? That always seems to look smart on c201s in any photos I've seen
Riversuir226 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 I'm thinking of doing either a West Cork based one in Silver/Black and tan or a 104 class in Ni blue.
