Kirley Posted August 26, 2014 Author Posted August 26, 2014 Looks class, weathered n all! , I love the Mark IV behind it, did you make that yourself? Yes,I did a rake from Virgin Voyager coaches quite a few years ago now. Quote
Kirley Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 MPD's enter service on Kirley Junction. Because there are so many Power Cars (with Black Beetle Motors) I have to use a Consist to run them together in a train. As promised a short video of them in action. Quote
Kirley Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Thank you GM171 for your great video (see http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3618-Irish-Rail-Spoil-Wagons), I hope you don't mind me borrowing some shots from it. Well here my recreation of that scene. I did not go as far as to dig up my track but I hope you get the general idea. The Spoils are just out of the factory and very very clean. Another job to do!

ttc0169 Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Excellent work on the spoil wagons,they look great Kieran-a useful addition to you layout. Quote
Kirley Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 201 Enterprise locos, 207, 233 & 208 outside the Shed. 207 & 208 underwent major surgery. Both had replacement chassis from Bachmann Class 66's. They also benefited from Weshty's window frames and light clusters. Also some under frame work to get the 'boxes' looking right. It took a lot of work to get the Class 66 lights to line up with the Lima 201's but got there in the end. Now they can compete in running with MM's 233. Quote
heirflick Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 not bad at all Kirley - well done! great to see the old limas with a new lease of life! Quote
Kirley Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 A short video of November workings at Kirley Junction. They include workings at Clonmel Station with 081 and a train of new Spoil Wagons, 233 on Enterprise duties and 071 bringing the Weed Spraying train back to winter storage. Quote
DiveController Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Kiernan, I love this layout. VERY very nice! Quote
scahalane Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Great looking shots Kirley. I particularly love that weed sprayer. Quote
Dave Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 I love Clonmel station, the view looking down is amazing. What did you use for the paving slabs on the platforms? Quote
The Derry Road Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 lovely work Kieran, great videos, keep them coming Quote
Kirley Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 What did you use for the paving slabs on the platforms? It's just MDF Dave, scribed with a cutter tool and a small ruler then painted with acrylic paints Quote
burnthebox Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Beautiful, just mega, Kieran, keep those video's coming, Quote
Dave Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 It's just MDF Dave, scribed with a cutter tool and a small ruler then painted with acrylic paints Looks fantastic, so realistic Quote

Kirley Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 A short video showing my newly completed CAF 4000. Also CAF 3000 and the Enterprise makes an appearance. Used a bit of modellers licence and ran the two CAF sets together as a 6 car set. Quote
krose Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Class, you did an amazing job on them. Great video. Quote
Kirley Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 I did a very short video of the 3 CIE Bredin Coaches I built from JM Design Kits. The coaches are pulled behind my A Class A7. It’s a Silver Fox body with Hornby double power bogies and a very smooth runner. Quote
BosKonay Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Brilliant videos Kirley! The bredins look the business! Must say I've a soft spot for 801 too! Quote
heirflick Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 well done kirley - the bredins look so well with the mixed traffic train - really timeless scene! Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Nice video with the Bredins,they look the business.Looking forward to loads more video's and photo's from this class layout Quote
Kirley Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Barrier Wagons on a test run with 023 providing the power. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Lovly job, and they look well behind the A class. Quote
BosKonay Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Very very nice, lovely detail on them! Quote
Noel Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Barrier Wagons on a test run with 023 providing the power. They look really well. Forgive my ignorance of modern freight stock, but what are barrier wagons used for? Are they like the last wagons on chemical trains such as ammonia, etc, for safety in the event of an accident or derailment? Quote
Broithe Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 They look really well. Forgive my ignorance of modern freight stock, but what are barrier wagons used for? Are they like the last wagons on chemical trains such as ammonia, etc, for safety in the event of an accident or derailment? They are, as you suggest, used to separate the 'dangerous' elements of the train. The term is also sometimes used to describe a vehicle with different couplers at each end - used to enable coupling of vehicles with different couplers. Quote

rebelred Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Models look great, hope they run as well as they look! Quote
