Weshty Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Love the little touches that really complete it. Like the warning flashes on the back of the transit van. And the fact that the Hornby A Class has had faded red panelling on the front. Quote

And the fact that the Hornby A Class has had faded red panelling on the front. Thanks for the comments lads, appreciate them, Cheers Weshty, i've incorporated a siding for my broken/dis-used Loco's which is where the A class sits so i faded the panels to reflect this (I'll be shunting a Lima 201 Loco in there very soon that looks the part- watch this space!) I've a bit more detailing to do yet & i'm gonna try tackle the track with ballast walkways & weathering if i can. Any advice as always is very welcome Quote
Riversuir226 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Sweet, its like the good auld days when Cork loco shed was busy with gms. Quote
rebelred Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Those days feel like a lifetime ago!! Gone are the days where you could take your pick of class of Loco to shunt with! Quote
Alan564017 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Rebelred, what did you use for the track underlay? have you pinned the tracks down? Quote
scahalane Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Looking great, love the weathering work on the GM's they really bring the scene to life. A bit of weathering on the track and you'll be set. Quote
rebelred Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Looking great, love the weathering work on the GM's they really bring the scene to life. A bit of weathering on the track and you'll be set. Thanks Scha, im currently researching how to weather the track without an air brush but if any one has any advice or tips i'll gladly take it on board, Alan i just used a ballast sheet & i'll be spreading loose ballast in between the sleepers with adhesive to bond it before i attempt to weather it. I was originally gonna use Noch underlay but it didn't look right in a loco shed enviroment so scrapped it. I tacked the track down using 12mm nails- the track pins i got wouldn't penetrate the baseboard & kept bending. Hope that helps. Quote
Alan564017 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks for the info rebel, where did you get the ballast sheet from? do you have point motors Quote
rebelred Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks for the info rebel, where did you get the ballast sheet from? do you have point motors I got it from Marks Models Al, no i've not got point motors at the moment. Quote
rebelred Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 I got 203 & 230 'returned to service' after spending a few weeks in Georgeconna's skilled hands!!!! Meanwhile Lima 201 is being 'stored' in my siding due to excess Loco availability..... Quote
rebelred Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 I haven't been doing much modelling lately for various reasons including work & kids on mid-term but got my 5 Mark II 'Galway' coaches back from weathering, love the results, here are a few shots of them with the River Corrib herself! Apologies for the poor resolution, light in the Attic isn't great! [ATTACH]18685[/ATTACH] Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Nice job,the loco and coach in the second shot look tired,in a nice way! Quote
ttc0169 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Lovely job on the locos on the shed Rebelred,looks a busy MPD. Quote
rebelred Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 Cheers lads, resolution is crap on these photos, will try & take some photos out in the day light to show the weathering off better. TTC, i don't think there is any loco shed in the land of modelling/real life that's busier than Tara Shed!!!! Quote
The Derry Road Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Like this and well done. looks the part Quote
Sulzer201 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Great looking layout and depot and class weathering on the locos and MK IIs. Quote
Kirley Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 No matter about the photo quality, the 'Galways' still look the business Quote
rebelred Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Took some pictures of my Mark 2's in Day time to show the weathering on them in better light.... Quote
rebelred Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) & I turned a 'Supertrain' Mark 2 EGV into 'Intercity' livery. ... [ATTACH]18724[/ATTACH] Edited April 13, 2015 by rebelred Quote
DiveController Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Took some pictures of my Mark 2's in Day time to show the weathering on them in better light.... Oh, yeah! that's way better. They look at lot nicer in that light. I not a fan of super heavy weathering so this is definitely dirtied up enough for my taste. Thought they looked too overdone in the previous photos. Great job there! Quote
rebelred Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks Kevin, I prefer my coaches to be heavily weathered along the bogies & coach ends with a small bit on the roof line while keeping the sides clean. That's the way most IE stock was kept as they were washed by driving them through a train wash as opposed to being powerwashed by hand hence why they were so dirty in those areas mentioned. Weathering was done superbly by Georgeconna. Quote
Chevron Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 That is one beautiful Rake? How did you get your white lines so perfect.. are they transfers? Quote
