Excellent work Anthony.

[Barl]

That's just brilliant Anthony and the backscene and layout are beautifully blended. You've probably answered this before but what make are the backscenes?

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Thanks Guys for your comments. Barl the back backscenes are made by ID you can find them on ebay. I find that using N gauge gives you a better sense of depth. Will post some more videos and pictures soon.

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

So this is very much a thing of the past!.

Great video Ant.

 

That was a great day out Eamonn. We will have to get something organised again for the summer.

[rebelred]

Love your work Anthony & I enjoy the videos you post. I would love to see the actual design of your layout, is seems massive or have you just cleverly maximised the space you have? Keep up the good work

[Kirley]

Must be due another video soon or has all gone quiet at Ballykay?

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Be patient K I picked up a new loco last Sunday from Chris Dyer in Stillorgan. I will do a little video for you over the bank holiday weekend. I think all the old timers (like yourself ) will love the west of Ireland feel of the new edition in the video it will put you in mind of the book Rails Through The West. Stay tuned.

From a west of Ireland point of view-(not the old timers either)--I'm looking forward to the next instalment from Ballykay....

[David Holman]

Really, really impressive. The low angle viewpoint works superbly. Is there a return working?!

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Here you go lads. Somewhere in the west of Ireland. Enjoy the latest addition to the fleet I got from Chris Dyer last week RTR Silver Fox Sulzer B107

Looks great as always anthony,was there sunday myself.

[BosKonay]

Wow Anthony. That embankment is fantastic. Might be looking at a video of the real thing!

[Dave]

Great video Anthony, love that Sulzer. The scenery is stunning.

[UP6936]

What's your thoughts on the silverfox sulzer? Some have mentioned the cab profile etc. Must say, the Black and Tan suits it well

[ttc0169]

Excellent work again Anthony-The embankment scene reminds me of the Tuam-Athenry section of the WRC....

I like your steam heating van attached to your Cravens set-Where did you get it?

I don't think any manufacturer has quite nailed the Sulzer. But with a little work you can have a good representation of the real loco.

[craven1508]

that is a classic piece of work,a beauty:tumbsup:

[jhb171achill]

That Sulzer is SERIOUSLY good looking!

[scahalane]

Those brass sides are excellent and very well put together, well done.

[BosKonay]

Raising the bar as always Anthony!! Stunning rake!

Just stunning! What's 'under the hood' on her Anthony?

[David]

The Sulzer looks well! Especially the side on shots.

Thanks for the link Anthony-I must get one of those at some stage.

Great job on the weathering, it really lifts it. The front still really bothers me though! Just doesn't look right.

[aclass007]

The Sulzer looks good! No doubt the weathering helps. Can you talk us through any other modifications you applied? The buffers is one thing I noticed..... Maybe some shots of the Silverfox and SSM Sulzers side by side...

Stephen I dumped the standard Silverfox chassis in favor of some American muscel. I hand built a chassis from plastic card and fitted it with Proto 2000 motor running gear and bogies.

All I did was make some buffers from plastic card and a little work on the catcher recesses that's it. The only other thing I did was make a chassis and weather it. Everything else is standard RTR. Sorry but I don't have a SSM Sulzer to compare it to. As I said earlier a little bit of work and you can have a good representation of the real loco.

[Dave]

That's a little stunner

Thanks Dave

[patrick]

I love it. Any chance of a photo of the plasticard chassis. Did you manage to keep the flywheels?

SD9? The addition of windows along the side really helps too.

I kept one flywheel
