iarnrod Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Awesome? Awesome as in streets ahead of any other Irish freight wagon kit available at present. Quote
Glenderg Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Awesome as in streets ahead of any other Irish freight wagon kit available at present. Must concur. Have pawed the 42' flat, and it is stunning. So detailed, yet so simple in its construction, and weighted perfectly, not to mention decent S&M bogies. Definitely raises sets a new standard. Quote
BosKonay Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 The fine detail is indeed gorgeous, and looks to be very well priced too! Quote
NIRCLASS80 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 The flat kit looks great. Is it difficult to construct? Quote
Glenderg Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 The flat kit looks great. Is it difficult to construct? Fold up the cage underneath, glue/solder to top etch. Fold up angled steel supports and glue/solder. Add details & bogies. Done. Quote
heirflick Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Fold up the cage underneath, glue/solder to top etch. Fold up angled steel supports and glue/solder. Add details & bogies. Done. sounds too good to be true! must investigate more... Quote
Weshty Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 sounds too good to be true! must investigate more... Nope, all true, Richie has it bank to rights (thanking you sir). I specifically designed the 42' NOT take 30 hours to construct. All it is is a top with foldable buffer beam ends, foldable spine and foldable bogie sides. That provides 90% of the model. All the rest is just essentially detailing and it's designed to be glueable (or solderable if you so wish). You will also be able to build the original flat solebar version and the later curved solebar I was one happy bunny when the test version came together just as I had envisaged, and has allowed me to tweak and correct a few minor bugs. I'm glad that the updated site has whetted your appetites! I'd been meaning to edit it for a long time. Quote
aclass007 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Must concur. Have pawed the 42' flat, and it is stunning. So detailed, yet so simple in its construction, and weighted perfectly, not to mention decent S&M bogies. Definitely raises sets a new standard. The 42' flat is a much needed model. If it's as good as you say, it's going to be a great seller! Quote
scahalane Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 They look mighty tasty Des. I can't wait to get a few of those flats. I already have a rake of ammonia's but you never know might be persuaded to invest in a second lot.. Quote
Riversuir226 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Mighty tasty and at a good price too Edited March 12, 2014 by Riversuir226 Quote
enniscorthyman Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Very impressive Des,I hope to get a few flats first and then save for a ammonia rake. Quote

Weshty Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm nearly there in terms of laying down the final design and dclosing this project out. However, training for a charity cycle from Ennis to Dublin on Paddy's day has been eating significantly into my time for the last 12 weeks. Cough! All contributions welcome to help the under 10's Clarecastle GAA would be very welcome. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Any news Des? Just back from theWexford show and I have the "gra" for some freight Great show by the way, well done Donal. Quote
iarnrod Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Any update on the ammonia wagons, barrier wagons and the 42' flats Des? Quote
burnthebox Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Is that " Christmas '13 " unless I've been asleep for the past 7 or so months, something dos'nt seem right Quote
heirflick Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Is that " Christmas '13 " unless I've been asleep for the past 7 or so months, something dos'nt seem right ....you are having a nightmare - shh......now go back to sleep! Quote
Weshty Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 See the Ammonia Thread for more detail but suffice to say: The Ammonia Tanker /wagon kit/model design has now been finalised and sent off for production, pending final adjustments. There have been siginificant redesign to get the tanker element right and add in some other ancilliary detail on the side skirts and underframes. All going well, it will be available in 6 weeks time, end of January 2015. Quote
