Barl Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelred Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Must be due another video soon or has all gone quiet at Ballykay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 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.

UP6936 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 What's your thoughts on the silverfox sulzer? Some have mentioned the cab profile etc. Must say, the Black and Tan suits it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc0169 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Excellent work again Anthony-The embankment scene reminds me of the Tuam-Athenry section of the WRC....

But with a little work you can have a good representation of the real loco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbonnet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Great job on the weathering, it really lifts it. The front still really bothers me though! Just doesn't look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aclass007 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Just stunning! What's 'under the hood' on her Anthony? 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.
