Thank you guys.

For the loads I will be trying Juweela sugar beet. Ordered from Germany.

The lads at Wexford Model Railway Club also think bird seed are good for sugar beet loads, Robbie58.

There would be some fun trying that on an outdoor garden railway!

Deadly! Really good light to work from, even if it's tedious decal stuff.

As an aside, Lidl/Aldi do an A3 cutting mat every now and again,  8 Bobs or thereabout, if you ever start running out of cutting surface.. Richie.

Tonight I'm at mobile modelling putting some decals on the beet wagons - tedious, might get 4 done tonight. I need to stock up on a few things for the box.

Thanks :D The main modelling set up is at home, but with the addition of a few essentials, LED strip and some inspiration I might be able to get a bit more done with this mini set up.

 

@leslie10646 might be interested to see the above video!

Robbie I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the beets progress from start to finish,and the video of them running caps it all off very nicely.Looking forward to future projects from your workbench :tumbsup:

The dapol pocket wagons do have several differences from the Irish ones. I'll be altering the ends using plasticard, moving the brake wheels and altering some molded details.

Also on the bench:

I am converting some flat top autoballasters to round top in preparation for painted into IÉ yellow. Some filing and filling and they should make it past the two foot rule.

I was experimenting with printing my own decals this weekend using Mr Decal Paper.  What are the options for making decals with white text on a clear background? The Wexford Bus has white text on the windows. If I was doing the speed van again, I would use decals for the chevrons and blue & yellow panels.
