enniscorthyman Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Got some more work done on the kit yesterday,and stuck on most of the brass etches.I got the tanks off the deltic donar chassis and now I have to see what the measurements are to get a good fit.What I plan to do is to cut and shut the deltic chassis to suit the B101 kit.I know the included brass chassis could be used but I am think of sticking the brass chassis over the deltic chassis for extra regidity,but I dont know if this will work.I will have to make plastic card sides for the fuel tanks and use the deltic weights to help in the structure being strong.Some of the cab windows will need some work in order to get them straight.

heirflick Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 looking good there eamonn! keep the pics comming:tumbsup: Quote
enniscorthyman Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 I just finished my Cement wagons and I am delighted with them. Fair play to Irish freight models for superb wagons. I have always wanted a few of these wagons as I remember them passing and unloading in Enniscorthy Station over the years. Quote
RedRich Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 The rake looks cool behind the baby GM Eamonn. Very nice models. Rich, Quote
enniscorthyman Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 The rake looks cool behind the baby GM Eamonn. Very nice models. Rich, Yes I love the rake too,especially after watching a video on YouTube of a cement with a baby GM on the Limerick Ballybrophy line. Quote
scahalane Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Wow, they look great. Are they kits or ready to run? Quote
Riversuir226 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 They look excellent Eamonn and that dirty Gm looks well tasty. Quote
heirflick Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 beautiful eamonn - love the tail lights aswell...well done! Quote
BosKonay Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Lovely job on the rake! Are the tail lights powered? Quote
gm171 kk Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Nice work, where did you get the tail lights? Quote
enniscorthyman Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 The tail lamps are not powered,and I got them On e bay from spring side models.The wagons came in kit form with chassis and I had to build and hand paint them.They are not normally sold as kits so I am Glad to be allowed to get them.They have a lot more detail than the MIR kits.I have to thank Anthony for the dirty 156 and where to get the tail lamps.

enniscorthyman Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 http://www.springsidemodels.com/id17.htm What a list! Which ones are most 'irish'? God you are right,a fair list.let me check the lamps and I will post up photo of them in their packaging. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Nice work. You did a great job with assembly and painting. Thanks Patrick,kits were very handy both to build and paint. Quote
Weshty Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Very tasty lamps... and lovely looking rake Eamon. Shame to see money having to leave the country though.... I'll do 4 for €4, unpainted, but with the red filters and post for €1.50 to Ireland or €2.00 rest of the world.....any type Square coach lamp Round loco lamp Modern lamp Quote
BosKonay Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Ahhh sweet - nice on Des! Off to check out the site! http://www.studio-scale-models.com Quote
enniscorthyman Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Great Des,when my current lamps run out I will get a few from you. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Great work on those cements Eamonn - a fantastic and authentic set of rolling stock. I remember them well making their clickety clack sounds over jointed track with a GM or A at the head. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 http://www.springsidemodels.com/id17.htm What a list! Which ones are most 'irish'? Here you go mate a pack of 10 of these just stick them on and away you go http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPRINGSIDE-MODERN-TAIL-LAMPS-WHITE-SPDA99-10-NEW-SPARES-/310230614340?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item483b2f8144 Quote

RedRich Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 http://www.springsidemodels.com/id17.htm What a list! Which ones are most 'irish'? I'd say DA99/5 are the ones that would be best suited to you Stephen. SSM do a nice kit now and they can be made working. The Springside ones are of an earlier type to the LED ones that IE use now. I think with most layouts running in day time settings the ones Eamonn has recommended would be fine. They used to do a set with one red lamp and the rest were clear so be careful. Rich, Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Well done Eamonn,the wagons look great. Quote
islandbridgejct Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Lovely looking cement wagons. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 I did my first bit of weatheing over the wekend on my SSM break van and CIE open wagon. My B101 has not much done lately,but have a TCS T1 decoder hard wired in and have the deltic weights on trial in a few places. Quote
scahalane Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 excellent job on the break van, nice and dirty. Quote

Weshty Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Lovely weathering on the brakevan, it truly looks like it has gone through the wars. Is that an SSM oil lamp I see?? Quote
