Kirley Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 Some UTA green, just for a change. [video=youtube;a-LFJ9nOlw4]
Dunluce Castle Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Great video, love the jeep and its rake of carriages.
Hunslet 102 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Nice video Kieran,the MED is looking good.One question,where did you get your etched number for the WT.I am looking foe an etched number 6,as this was one of the few loco's to receive the NIR logo and retain the original coal bunker.
jhb171achill Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 That shed colour is very much like "Catherwood blue" indeed... And the UTA green on the railcars looks spot on....

I have got all mine (including No6) from Guilplates (Gareth Floyd) ; Note that you have to cut them, using either the very neat Tamiya scissors or a small tinsnip type of cutter. Unlike some other suppliers they are very reliable. As they've done 6 before, the plates will probably cost less and be delivered quite quickly. 32 Wodeland Avenue, Guildford, Surrey , GU2 4JZ Telephone: 01483 565980/563156 Plates of 4mm./1ft or less have to be cut out by the customer from 10 thou material. All others are hand cut and ready to apply. As our list is constantly expanding it is best to ring for a quote in OFFICE HOURS, 9-5.30, MON-FRIDAY. For this reason we have no website. Colm

Colm Thanks Colm , I will give them a try
Kirley Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 Glad Colm was able to direct you towards a supplier Andy, my number was homemade.
Mayner Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Kieran Brings back childhood seaside memories of dark green trains without an engine at the front speeding across the viaduct at Gormonstown all that's missing is the Tourist Train with its big blue steam loco and smoke deflectors, it was never the same after the summer of 65?
Kirley Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 John, isn't it this draw behind railway modelling, the yearn to revisit what is gone but not forgotten.
heirflick Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 John, isn't it this draw behind railway modelling, the yearn to revisit what is gone but not forgotten. beautifully spoken kirley!
Mayner Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) With me its getting to the stage where I don't know if I have remembered something or have imagined it ether way its good stuff though Edited July 3, 2014 by Mayner
Weshty Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 John, isn't it this draw behind railway modelling, the yearn to revisit what is gone but not forgotten. It's what I love seeing photos of local stations with the freight areas all a bustle. You can reopen old lines, but can't really recapture that time when stations were an absolutely integral part of the local community and economy.

You can reopen old lines, but can't really recapture that time when stations were an absolutely integral part of the local community and economy. ...and not only that - there was no such thing as health and safety, which ment that we as nippers could walk just about anywhere in the stations and the yards. manys the time i'd stand watching locos shunting or the cutters at work on the scrap line in mullingar.....great memories!
Kirley Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 Giving my new bogie Cement Wagons a run on the layout so I thought why not run all my Irish Cement Wagons.
heirflick Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 beautiful rolling stock! i love the metro- vic in action...reminds me of times past when they ran everywhere:) you did a fantastic job on the trees and shrubbery on your layout - makes it so realistic=D
Kirley Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 I have tried, not very successfully, to video and control train movements at the same time and fallen between two stools. My camera kept dying mid shot hence the rapid cuts between scenes. Apologies for the poor quality.
Dunluce Castle Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Nice video mate, nice mixture of pictures and videos.

My camera kept dying mid shot hence the rapid cuts between scenes. Apologies for the poor quality.You jest. a thing of beauty if ever there was. Quality? You has it. In buckets and spades.
heirflick Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 great freight action....might as well be Ballina yard im watching! love sulzer B107 - stunning looking girl and looks quite at home there!!
BosKonay Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 What a treat Kirley!! I know I've not made a video in years, but I invested in a small tripod so I can set the camera up, then focus on the train movements for each scene (that's the plan anyway)
Hunslet 102 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Excellent as always Kieran,although self inflicted injuries are not recommended!
The Derry Road Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Kirley, love the layout and good selection of rolling stock, more vidoes please but move the stools:-bd regards The Derry Road
