Hi Eamon.  After seeing your post I just tried from my iPhone and it worked ok. When I use 'click to choose files' on the bottom of a new post I then get asked where to upload the photo from on the phone:  'Take Photo or Video' or 'Photo Library'.  If you are using Android you should be offered a similar facility to browse your phones photo library.  Click the required photo but do wait for it to upload to the site.  You should see a little progress bar scale as the image uploads, then type the post message body and 'submit reply'.

[enniscorthyman]

I seem to be able to upload photos from my phone again.

Anyway,I got a few Provincial Wagon double stack beet wagons,so I have one completed.

Very nice Eamonn.Great to see you back posting your work again.

Heavens, Eamonn, you Wexford men work quickly - you only got the kits from me a week ago!

The corrugated open is a thing of "beauty" - your weathering really makes it look the part.

Great stuff!

Looks good Eamonn

Very nice Eamonn. Love the paint job and weathering, especially the Bulleid. I see you dispensed with the need for the daft 'staples' on the single beat. I couldn't get them to work but thats probably more a reflection on me.  You've inspired me to have a go with a double beat I've had on the shelf for a few months!!!

Thanks Jason.

The new changes to the site seem to suit my phone for posting photos again.

Thanks Noel.

The double kits are a lot quicker to build than the single.Yes the brake gear on the single are quite tricky.

I have just applied rust wash so far and will try a few others.

It looks particularly well on the bulleid. 

[RobertRoche]

Nice looking scene there Eamonn

Lovely job on the double beet wagon, the bullied wagon is very well done. I have just finished building 14 of Leslie's brilliant 

bullied wagons and was looking to weather them. Your wagon gives me inspiration,the rust effect is great.  Thanks.

[enniscorthyman]

Two more Beets built.

Only 9 more to go😣

[Georgeconna]

Glutton for Punishment Eamonn. Thing is do you hang on forever and hope IRM do a Ready to Run jobbie or jump in and buy a langar load of these yokes to have a play with!! I'll go with Playing!! Look forward to seeing them on your layout.

I just started on a SSM ballast plough van kit.I plan to use extra detail in Dart castings buffers and brake pipes.

The kit comes with the Prestwin chassis.

[WRENNEIRE]

Wonder if it would be worth the IRM lads doing good chassis's only? 

How would the van sit on an IRM One?

Thanks,just super glue.

I would not have the time to solder any kits.None have fallen apart yet.

[Past-Avenue]

What ever works thanks Eamonn

[Weshty]

Those Dart castings look very well on it Eamonn.  They beef it up nicely.

[RedRich]

 Looking good Eammon it really is a lovely kit the plough itself looks very good. Keep the pics and updates coming, so far so good.

Rich,

Nice work Eamonn very tidy.The chunkier buffers from Dart make a big difference.I have a couple of these myself which I've to get around to building so I'm following this with interest

Nice work indeed.   I also have one of these kits, but I've delayed starting it until I can work out the most efficient way of widening the chassis to the same width as the van.  I can't remember where but I've seen on the forum where the chassis was made wider to match the body.  Made a big difference visually.

[enniscorthyman]

I have just finished my Ballast plough van.The only problems I encountered was with the roof which is difficult enough to fit.I put s few bits of lead inside the body for a bit of weight.Some photos of the build won't upload for me for some reason.
