mlee2808 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 At a look at her this evening. Stunning model and the quality of work is exceptional. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Would nearly encourage me to take this kit from the stash and give it a go, only said nearly though! Quote
Weshty Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Dave, Take that thing out of the box and let us see what the kit is composed of, pleeeze. (Go on)*5.... etc Or even better (Go on)^5! Quote
craven1508 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 LOOKING GREAT ALL THE TIME THERE TRAIN MODEL, A FINE SET UP! Quote
Blaine Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 The model on this thread looks far better than the MIR kit ever will..... Quote
Ral2011 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Your Class 80 is absolutely great and very inspiring. What kind of primer do you use? A primer only or a primer/filler. I aks because my primer does drops and has to sanded, yours look absolutely flawless. Quote
Train model Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 The whole thing is flawless even in primer I had a look at it before and after it was sprayed Quote
kevrail Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Truly a work of art!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing & inspiring us Quote
Train model Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) To all who made this possible thank you Edited December 23, 2013 by BosKonay Quote

Dunluce Castle Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Fantastic, superb sound effects. Thanks Quote
33lima Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 Hi Ral I just use car aerosol grey primer from cans, Halfords in this case, acryllic.Seems to give a decent finish, without any 'orange skin' effect. Quote
popeye Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Very nice video well done. I think the guy in the DHL van is lost though. Quote
33lima Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Have just about completed a second set, finished in surburban sector livery and seen below alongside my original model, from the early 1990s. I think I prefer the Ford Ivory I used this time as cream, in place of the somewhat yellow Triumph Honeysuckle used originally (which I could have got mixed but is no longer on the shelves). The other colour is the same, Ford Monza Red IIRC...or was it Flame Red? Anyway, the new model was made exactly as per the intercity/corporate 'bumblebee'-liveried set, from two Tri-ang Hornby Mk2a TSO coaches and one of their Mk2a brakes. Apart from the livery, the only difference is that this time the Hornby HST bogies in the power car are fitted to a modified and extended HST power car underframe, instead of modifying the coach floor unit. Suburban lettering is 5mm Helvetica Letraset or Eddings rub-down transfers (protected by a light coat overall of varnish), car numbers are Ratio coach numbers, white & orange lining is Model Technics Trimline. NIR logos are hand-painted. Edited April 19, 2015 by 33lima Quote
Liverbird81 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Amazing just how I like to remember them on the larne line Quote
Broithe Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I'm not really into the Northern stuff, but that is bloody lovely. Quote
Liverbird81 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 the 80 class 3 units I think, maroon & silver livery with Irish rail logos were in service south of the border on loan from NIR. Irish rail used the 3 units as one 9 car unit for the all Ireland final to keep up with demand. So there is hope for use as Irish rail 80class as well as NIR Quote
heirflick Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 ...thats beautiful work! its about the most striking livery i have seen yet - well done! Quote
jhb171achill Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Just for info - point of clarification - the maroon had grey with it, rather than the silver currently used with the blue. Quote
