RobertRoche Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Keep it up, the rake will look great when you are done! Quote

GNRi1959 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Your modelling is very impressive, a question off subject. What heights are your embankments raised? I have to do the same job soon, my bridges were 12' clearance underneath so I reckoned on around 60-70mm to top of trackbed. Quote

I am not sure,as I just matched the height of the embankment to the bridge. Quote

enniscorthyman Posted January 25, 2018 Author Posted January 25, 2018 A last all 12 Beet wagons are built and painted.6 have been weathered with Rust wash and powders and the other 6 be done shortly.At a later stage I hope to use Kadees on all the wagons. 7 Quote
JasonB Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Very very nice, will you be putting a load into them Eamonn? Quote
enniscorthyman Posted January 25, 2018 Author Posted January 25, 2018 Thanks Guys. I don' know yet if I will put a load in. Quote

John-r Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Lovely job on the weathering,. very well built also. I found them very nice to build as well. 1 Quote
enniscorthyman Posted January 27, 2018 Author Posted January 27, 2018 075 with a test run of Beet wagons. 2 2 Quote
Broithe Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 The inevitable slight variations in a kit-built rake can often be a great advantage when depicting hard-worked wagons. It's hard to replicate rough usage in a run of factory-produced items. 2 Quote
Broithe Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Has anybody tried millet seeds as beets? They should be available in health food shops and even pet food outlets. There has been a tendency for the seeds to get bigger as selective breeding heads in that direction. Might be best to inspect before buying, where possible. Maybe worth a look? 1 Quote
murrayec Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Hi Guys Someone some time back posted on here or elsewhere- they used a seed for beets, after in storage they found it went mouldy and made a bit of a mess of the models! I'd try and use something inorganic...... Lovely work, lovely train Eoin Quote
enniscorthyman Posted April 6, 2018 Author Posted April 6, 2018 Just finished a Provincial Wagon CIE side opening container.I bought a pack of 4 at the Wexford show and these kits will all rest on a Prestwin chassis.I am not sure if my decals are placed in the right place. 7 Quote
enniscorthyman Posted June 5, 2018 Author Posted June 5, 2018 I have 4 MIR kits to build and got one finished.So I got going on the final 3 kits.I can' seem to upload all the photos,here is what I got to upload. 6 1 Quote
JasonB Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Lovely work Eamonn. Always look forward to seeing something on your workbench. 1 Quote
enniscorthyman Posted June 8, 2018 Author Posted June 8, 2018 All 3 kits are built now.I need to buy some primer tomorrow so I can get cracking on the painting. 6 Quote
Noel Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Very tidy job Eamonn. Looking good. Hope there is some Blu-Tack under to stop them falling off the hand rail. 1 Quote
enniscorthyman Posted June 23, 2018 Author Posted June 23, 2018 Just finished a Provincial wagons side opening container.I used a Dapol Prestwin kit for the chassis,along with extra detail from Dart castings which include buffers and draw hooks.The Prestwin chassis is a bit short in length,but I am happy enough with it. 6 Quote
enniscorthyman Posted August 8, 2018 Author Posted August 8, 2018 Just Finished the last two Provincial wagon side containers. 9 Quote
