enniscorthyman Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Lovely lovely work there, particularly the track weathering. Bang on!! 2nd photo is pure class. Very nicely composed scene. Thanks Des, as you can see some of the roof painting and weathering needs to be touched up. She's a lovly little model to build. Quote
rebelred Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Lovely layout, inspection car is class, great job! Quote
enniscorthyman Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Nearly finished my second ballast plough van.I had to sort the roof antenna on the first van as I made a bags of it first time around.As can be seen the roof has not been glued on the second van yet as I need to get proper glue that won't cause any clouding from super glue like what happened on the first van.Still a bit of touching up and weathering to do.

Cheers Jim bo, would love to see photos of your build.Building these kits at your own pace is the main thing. Quote

enniscorthyman Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 Next for me is plough van which in the process of the roof finally getting a bit of Glue.I have 3 tankers to finish off as well. The 121 has annoyed me for ages as the Painting needs to be touched up along with sorting some sort of chassis.I have a class 20 chassis that could come into use, any ideas for it for a 121 or C class?.

Hunslet 102 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Nice video and good job with the ballast plough vans Where did you get the ballast wagons from?? Quote
enniscorthyman Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Nice video and good job with the ballast plough vans Where did you get the ballast wagons from?? Thanks for comments lads. The ballast wagon body's are 3d printed from shapeways and are mounted on dapol prestwin chassis. I used break pipes and brass hand wheels from dart castings.SSM provide the decals. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks,they look good,one for the future hopefully Quote
enniscorthyman Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Have a look at page one of my workbench for a photo of the body's. Quote
richrua Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Very interesting. I must try a metal kit but a little cautious and I keep getting distracted by other things. Are all the American locos for donors ? I often wonder why the ho american locos are quite cheap compared with oo gauge European stuff. Quote
Kirley Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The 12 Ballast Wagons really set off your 2 Plough Vans. You did a great job on them Eamonn. Quote
irishthump Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Great video, and lovely job on the plough vans. Quote

The Switcher body's were to be dumped by a friend who used the chassis for 121s, so I rescued them as they are beauty's. I don't know what to do with them. The switchers came from a on line shop in USA and are not cheap either. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Powerful work as usual here Eamonn. Well done. Quote

enniscorthyman Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Is the SD7 (Southern one) a Proto 2000 body? Might be interested if it is. I am not sure Fran, I thought it was a Blue line sd9 but you are welcome to it for free along with the other switcher body's if they are of any use. I have another sd body as well that can go.Both could be missing some bits.The chassis was to be used for a MIR 071. Quote
