tonybonneyba Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Don't know how fair this will get Welcome! In this work bench, my first project will be on a Enterprise (New) Test Train, which will be consisted of a Ex BR IC Swallow liveried Mk4 DVT into a full yellow DVT & two modified full yellow Mk3 coaches being pushed with a Enterprising Locomotive. Hopefully the next project will be converting some Mk4s into a dedietrich set (swoosh livery), then hopefully building a layout (DCC or dc?). When I get PST working, I'll post my plans for the NTT & progress. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Morning all, Here are the two prototype designs for the Mk4 NTT DVT I'm still undecided as of yet of which one to go for.... I have glued on a dropped head buckeye coupler on to the front of the actual Mk4 DVT & when once painted, there will be more details added later, some details will be added before painting.... But you'll see them when it comes to that time. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Cab detail added this after noon, just need a driver to be added & a dash board detail sticker to be added. I hope to added a MMI contractor ( ) to the front & rear of this coach with fine black cables, maybe a plastic card build? Quote
tonybonneyba Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 Making a MMI connector for one of my stock Quote
tonybonneyba Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 MMI socket painted, now just drying Quote
tonybonneyba Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 Great work so far! Thank you! Quote
tonybonneyba Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Note to self.....spray the MMI Socket next time & don't hand paint... Quote
Glenderg Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Tony/Anthony Any chance of a photo of the real thing? I have no idea what's going on here. Any modelling is welcome, but without context,I'm a bit lost. But keep going please, workbench updates are the lifeblood of encouragement. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Somethings going on in the 'digital workshop' for the future layout ..... The depot sign is for the custom homemade built depot I'll be building based on various depots, mainly Adelaide Depot in Belfast. It'll be used to hold a threE car CAF in one road & two co-co locomotives in the other road. It'll be fitted with working jacks to lift the three car CAF (or locomotive if in the correct road). Map key: O = destination (siding / station platform / shed) o = signal • = points AT = automatic signal (see everard junctions video on signals) --P** = point number MANED = manual changing signal (user controlled) STOP = Buffers Edited December 2, 2015 by tonybonneyba Quote
jhb171achill Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Tony, you might want to substitute "maintenance" for "maintance", and "Manager" for "Manger"...! :-) (Running for cover.....) Seriously though, excellent signage! Quote
Old Blarney Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Another one, sorry! MANNED for MANED Quote

tonybonneyba Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 I want to base Holyfast station building off Douglas railway station building in IOM (I'll upload photos tomorrow), as I visited thus station in August past & its a wonderful station, a must visit. Any tips? Quote
jhb171achill Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 So Holyfast is a terminus, a bit like Cookstown was. Could it be somewhere the NCC and the GNR both came into from different directions, or maybe the GNR and a northern extension of the MGWR.... The MGWR had some fine red brick stations like Ballynahinch (Co Galway), Ballyvary, or Mallaranny... Maybe it's an ex MGWR building in your scenario which end up in the north after partition in 1921. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 Interesting head / tail light.... So Holyfast is a terminus, a bit like Cookstown was.

If I understand of what you are saying, then yes by modern day terms of course. The station will be the terminus for some enterprise services, NIR services and some IÉ services, it'll also be the main station for DCDR Mainline / GNDR (Great Northern Down Railway). You could be be right, you could be wrong, I haven't as of yet decided the back story of the station.... Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 That's the diagrams done, (with one or two spelling mistakes) , now to back to the MMI connections & sheds/station building.... Any tips for the station build would be much appreciated. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 Right, here's the plan for the next few months: Get the MMI connection on the 201 (8208) & at the correct size (currently slightly too big) Get the MKIV test train sorted Skip the DD Build a locomotive at HOm scale (equivalent to 3ft) based on the IOM "class 550", No.21 AKA, Isle of Man no.21 Then once these are done, I should able start into the layout Which me luck Quote
GSR 800 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 The vistiors were not pleased.. But the layout design is looking good! What era are you planning? Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 I which you much luck Thank you! Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 The vistiors were not pleased.. But the layout design is looking good! What era are you planning? "The vistiors were not pleased.." ?? <- I'm confused Thank you! I'm glad you like it. The era is between 2005 & late 2015, but please do remember it's a fictional layout based around on a couple of fictional towns around the border of the north & south if Ireland with a 3ft gauge branch line operated by the Isle Of Man Railway (in partnership with NIR & IÉ)which goes through the town of Ballynawood as a tram type line (like Alexander Rd in Dublin).

Garfield Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 "The vistiors were not pleased.." ?? <- I'm confused Spelling mistake... it's 'visitors', not 'vistiors'. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 Spelling mistake... it's 'visitors', not 'vistiors'. You should also correct Gsr 800 then. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 That's quite a mixture, Tony! Indeed it is! But I can't wait to do my first loco build & my first proper layout build. #excited Quote
GSR 800 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 You should also correct Gsr 800 then. Sure I was trying to show you your mistake! Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Right, let's skip over my bad English ( I can speak it perfectly fine btw).... I have finished the MMI connection & need put it on the locomotive, which I'll do once some problems get sorted out (I'm not going say what they are as I'm going send them off to somewhere to get fixed) on the locomotive. While I send off the locomotive to that some where, I'm going start scratch building the first narrow gauge locomotive, some of you's might know what locomotive it is, some of you might not. It is the IOMR new diesel locomotive No.21 (which is similar in design to a 141). No.21 at the test track in the factory in the USA. Press release photo from the manufacturers website, railsoultions.com I have found a good priced locomotive for a donor chasia on eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/381477286902 Once I buy that, I can start scratch building the locomotive.

tonybonneyba Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Nice Garden Scale Loco there Tony That's actually a 3 foot guage locomotive, it's a class 550 (/MP550) , built in 2013 for the isle man railway company for thunderbird, PWD & charter duties & costed £400,000.00 (£0.4m). She has worked the 2014 transport festival charter trains & a dinner special. She has had some heck ups because of being a brand new locomotive & is currently get repaired. Quote
tonybonneyba Posted December 12, 2015 Author Posted December 12, 2015 New (used) locomotive, just need plastic card now.... Quote
tonybonneyba Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 Morning all. The project above is & will be on a very long pause. (It's for my granny's furture model railway which hasn't been started, I'll post updates on that when there's an update to post). Anyways, not includeding my granny's OO gauge railway, I think I've given up on OO guage, so I'm starting a new project which is a wee but larger than OO & O. I'm going point out one thing first before I post ideas & furture photos, this is my railway & I'll do as what I like with it, not every thing has been correct places, for instance, if I build, say a G scale MKIV from a Playmobil carriage, I might have the doors centred as that's where they are on the Playmobil coach. This railway is for me & for my imagination to go 'wild'. I'll post updates when I have an update Quote
tonybonneyba Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 Nice Garden Scale Loco there Tony Thanks for the idea! Quote
tonybonneyba Posted January 4, 2019 Author Posted January 4, 2019 Nothing. Nothing has gone to plan! Also no Garden layout.... too costly! Sorry.... Attempt two! - He's at it again.... But, there WILL BE a Holyfast Depot & a River Nore station sometime in the future, just can't say when.... but it'll be on a different layout to this 'plan'. Anyways, heres the almost complete branch line station; "Somewhere" for this layout....
