Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 BallyK is progressing nicely, will post up some pics over the weekend. Lights you requested are in Dublin awaiting you Bro call me later when you are free Quote
islandbridgejct Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I love the colouring of the Irish countryside - a real, wet summer's day. It's not exactly a major station but I remember getting out of a mk 2d set at Castlebar before the platforms were extended. Coaches 1, 2 and 3, the station; coaches 4 to 7, the airport. The guard announced that we had to move forward, but I still got off onto the ballast. I think Westport was similar. I used to use Galway station every week in the late 90s and I think that overhang is spot on. It would count as a SPAD anywhere else. Alan Quote
irishtrains2730 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 looking good.that's a bit tight under the canopy for the trailer!! seeing your makes me wish i hadn't just sold nearly all my irish stock. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) It takes 4m/12' of track, is 1m/ 3' long and 30cm/12" wide. It can hold 12 x 201's, 16 x 071's or 20 x 141/181's. Its the Beast of Ballykay. A big thank you to Glenderg for building this monster shed for me Edited July 28, 2012 by Anthony Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 The first of the buildings has arrived from Glenderg for the main Street of Ballykay and I'm well impressed. A Big Thank You to Richie for all his hard work Quote
Kirley Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Looks superb, pity it’s after closing time! I take you will have the lights working? Quote
Kirley Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 It’s just something else, I love the weathered finish. You will need a micro camera installed inside to see what’s going on in there. Quote
FrankS Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Too big for me ! I'd forget what was parked inside Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Brilliant piece of kit and top marks to Glenderg . Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 It’s just something else, I love the weathered finish. The first thing I did when I got it home was to give the walls and roof some dirt and rust Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 Looks superb, pity it’s after closing time!I take you will have the lights working? No mate the lights do work but I'm not really into having everything lit up on the layout Quote
Broithe Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Best to have the lights off after 'closing time'.... Quote
gm171 kk Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Absalutly fantastic, well done to Glenberg and Anthony. Quote
201bhoy Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 That's probably about half the size of my whole layout!!!!!! Beautiful Quote
Kirley Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 I suppose Anthony it's full stream, sorry traction, ahead with Level Three. Looking forward to see its progress. Quote
heirflick Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 turned out brilliantly! a credit to her maker-well done glenderg=D Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 I suppose Anthony it's full stream, sorry traction, ahead with Level Three. Looking forward to see its progress. Yes mate I just have to finalise my track plan Quote
Broithe Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Has 'She' seen it? Looks big enough for a dog-house... Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 Has 'She' seen it? Looks big enough for a dog-house... Yes she has seen it and loves it. My Missus doesn't give me grief about my hobby:-bd Quote
ttc0169 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 A fine impressive and highly detailed loco shed-one of the finest i've ever seen-well done to Glenderg for building such a model,and thanks for sharing Anthony. Quote
irishthump Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Where can I get one of those? The understanding wife that is!!! Seriously though, that's one impressive model. The detail is stunning. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 This is the first test run of the new turn table. It a Peco model painted and weathered. It is powered through Meccano gears and and uses the circuit board from a MM201 fitted with a 21pin decoder Quote
scahalane Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Top class, can't wait to see it with ballast and ground cover added. Quote
Glenderg Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Lads, thanks for all the kind words, it was one hell of a build, though I'm a bit spooked about the shallow clearance with the 121. That said, I'm looking forward to seeing her in the flesh with her second layer of weathering The gutters, downpipes and mushroom ventilators will be winging their way north in the morning to complete the build. Richie. Quote
Kirley Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Very smooth in operation Anthony, any chance of a picture of the “workings” underneath? Quote
irishthump Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Anto, that's the business. Even the sound when it's turning is great! Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Anto, that's the business. Even the sound when it's turning is great! Its not really, i cant hear the swearing from the poor guy having to turn that beast around. Quote
FrankS Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 With the loco facilities at the Junction (Cilldargan) only running to 12" of track, 2 tanks and a pumphouse, it really is a case of the tail wagging the dog Magnificent Beast, Anthony and Glenderg. All The Way With BALLYKAY Quote
Weshty Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Fine job on Anthony's commission there Glenderg. It just looks "real". Given the size, was this a practice run for the Inchicore works main building? Quote
Glenderg Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks weshty (and I just wanted to start small and do signal boxes...( ) The old steam shed in Inchicore would be a real cracker all right though I could imagine Domestic Authorities denying Permission on the grounds of over development! [8 roads in? about 800mm wide? The front would make a nice entrance/backdrop to a fiddle yard though.... Quote
