karjoa1998 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Hello, here some pictures of my new layout 'Kilkenny'. The gauge is 21mm with much scratchbuilt items. Much work left (it's only the first part of the layout). Greetings from Bochum Joachim 1 Quote
burnthebox Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 KJ1998, That’s just an absolutely fantastic piece of work, well done, keep the pic's coming, Quote
Kirley Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 You have really captured the feel of a Irish Railway scene with 21 mm gauge helping, well done. Love your buildings. Please tell us more about your scratchbuilt items. Quote
Garfield Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 What a way to announce your arrival on the forum! Welcome aboard, Karjoa... your layout looks wonderful! Quote
Glenderg Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Now that is a pleasant surprise! It's like looking at Steve Rabones 1984 photographs, superb stuff altogether. Richie. Quote
Tarabuses Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 You certainly have been working hard on that layout. It is a great achievement already. Quote
RedRich Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I can appreciate the amount of time, effort, and thought that has gone into the layout. It takes me back to my youth and looks just like I remember it. I can't say that I am taken by the way that MacDonagh Station looks today with the shopping Mall next to it. Is the track built to finescale standards. Did you use Templot or other templates. If it isn't finescale did you reuse the original loco wheels on longer axles. I look forward to seeing more and thanks for sharing, it's a wonderful piece of work. Rich, Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Fantastic layout. It's great to actually see a diesel 21mm layout on here. Quote
heirflick Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 now thats a layout to be proud off - well done! more pics please Quote
scahalane Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 A very prototypical Irish scene executed to perfection, well done and thanks for sharing. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Excellent layout and love the atmosphere of Kilkenny. Quote
gm171 kk Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Truly inspirational Well done! I love the scratchbuilt wagons too. Quote
Kilkenny Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Can't fault anything, it's perfect in every way; just great to look at! You have done a fantastic job here modelling the station, it obviously took a lot of time and effort but the payoff here is immense. Really looking forward to more photos! Quote
patrick Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Wonderful. I am looking forward to seeing more. Quote
karjoa1998 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 Hello, thank you for the kind comments. Here is a second batch of pictures (including 2 old ones to ilustrate the trackbuilding- it is not finescale). Greetings Joachim (I have some problems with posting this reply- if something is strange -please excuse) 1 Quote
heirflick Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 only beautiful! where did you come accross the soft top landrover in this pic? i can only get hardtop ones Quote
karjoa1998 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 [ATTACH=CONFIG]8108[/ATTACH] only beautiful! where did you come accross the soft top landrover in this pic? i can only get hardtop ones Thank you. The Landrover is from Schuco (some models are simular to carama) 1: 76 scale. It was sold only in an ambulance version with a big red cross on the canvas. I painted the soft top over. I bought it 10-12 years ago. I think it is not available anymore. Joachim Quote
heirflick Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I think it is not available anymore. Joachim thanks Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Joachim-the layout and the modelling is first class,I like the forest at the end of the platform.Look forward to more of this. Quote
Shinkansen Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Pretty amazing work Joachim. You should be proud of your efforts A real 70's/80's scene in Kilkenny. I love the look of the goods shed. Could you tell me what make of foot bridge did you use? Love those old wrought Iron bridges... Cheers, Tom. Quote
Broithe Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Could you tell me what make of foot bridge did you use? It looks very like the old Hornby R076 - http://www.modelrailwayloft.co.uk/hornby-r076-footbridge-kit.html . Still available as a Thomas the Tank accessory - with a different number, and in blue.

jhb171achill Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 What a new arrival! Amazing, so realistic. The wagons, often a poor relation on a layout, really give it the edge. Keep it coming! Quote
Riversuir226 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Love it, well done sir the bell liner and the wagons really set it, love the no coaches past this point sign too. Keep the pics coming:tumbsup: Quote
