Kirley Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 A video of the build and the VS in action. No Teak Coaches yet but I'm thinking about it. Quote
jhb171achill Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 That's one fantastic layout. Recreates an atmosphere of over fifty years ago better than most I've ever seen. Quote
The Derry Road Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Absolutely fantastic Kieran, great video TDR Quote
BosKonay Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 5 minutes of viewing pleasure ! Thanks for sharing Quote
David Holman Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Super video - the running qualities of the whole layout are very impressive. Must be a pleasure to operate. Love the blue & cream DMU too. Was there a more handsome prototype & why is it that DMUs are always so much more attractive in model form than [most of] the real thing? Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Great video Kieran,I have only just grasped the sheer scale of you layout.Some amount of various rolling stock from all the various era's gives a flavour of Ireland down through the years. A layout to be proud of Quote
Kirley Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 CIE Laminates off the production line. I have added them to a rake of Park Royal, Craven coaches and a Dutch Van pulled by GM 142. A Sulzer under pressure pulling a rake of brass coaches also makes an appearance. [video=youtube;7X--l5D2POI] The Bullied Open Wagons after a bit of use have started to tone down a bit. Quote
burnthebox Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Kieran, totally mega, love that Sulzer, keep them coming, Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 That mogul with the beet rake looks like a photo of a 400 at mallow hauling a long rake of beet emptys tender first. Another excellent scene Quote
murrayec Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Hi Kirley Lovely stuff, I like the laminates, very neat. Have to agree with BTB- the Sulzer is deadly... I meant to buy a few Beets at the Blackrock Show! but settled on books n tools, Beets next time? Eoin Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Great video and photo's Kieran,the coaches look superb Quote
The Derry Road Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Pure brilliance Kieran, well presented and great viewing TDR Quote
Kirley Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 A new addition to Kirley Junction. Congratulations to the builder, made from plasticard on a Bachmann Class 3 chassis. More pictures later on this week. Quote
popeye Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Lovely model, who built it? I hope to build one myself. Quote
The Derry Road Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Tidy piece of work Kieran, very nice indeed TDR Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Lovely model of the DH Kieran,it captures the profile of the prototype perfectly,just as I remember them,congrats to your builder Quote
leslie10646 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 A video of the build and the VS in action. No Teak Coaches yet but I'm thinking about it. Great stuff, Kieran. I note you only ran her with six bogies - how many can she manage? My No.207 slips with the full ten on - imitating the All-In for the Rugby Internationals. Annoyingly, my Class WT manages ten OK - the reverse of the "real thing" where the tank would have VERY pushed taking tenover the Wellington Bank, while the real No.207 would have taken it in her stride. When my trackwork looks a little less amateurish, I'll post a video of 207 with a complete mahogany train. MAHOGANY not xxxxing teak!!!! As I say, brilliant stuff. What do you do in your s[pare time?

MAHOGANY not xxxxing teak!!!! Leslie I find a big difference between the RTR coaches (plastic) and the brass coaches. With the inclines on my layout 6 brass coaches run OK. I haven't tried a bigger number of RTR coaches but would think it would pull the 10. I have added weight to the locomotive which helps in its pulling power. I have already been told off about my not so deliberate mistake -mahogany it is. Still waiting to see pictures of your layout, long time promised. Quote
Kirley Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 NIR DH Class Some pictures of this English Electric locomotive introduced by NIR in 1969. The video shows No.2 in action on Kirley Junction. Quote
murrayec Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Hi Kirley Lovely, I like the section at the shed Eoin Quote
Noel Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Hi Kirley Lovely, I like the section at the shed Eoin Excellent build. Model looks fab. A few chassis hesitations on the clip. Quote
dave182 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Kirley, you have a layout that must give you great satisfaction, as I get great satisfaction just from watching your videos! And it feels like I'm getting to know the layout and all its wonderful scenes and vista's! On a side note I hope that up-and-down bell container at the start of the video isn't full of beer bottles!!! Maybe that's why Bell went out of business!! Quote

Maybe that's why Bell went out of business!! It's been like that since Heirflick mentioned many moons ago, must have a word with the Crane Man. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Great video as usual,really like the scene with the DH and spoil wagons,reminds me of my youth in the 70s when I would watch these noisy little loco's for hours laying ballast between Adelaide and Balmoral. Have a soft spot for the DH,behind the Hunslet of course. Quote
The Derry Road Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Kieran, just checking in from Birmingham and love the movements of the DH loco on video, will sometime have to arrange a visit to Kirley junction if possible, attending Warley again tomorrow.TDR Quote
Kirley Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 Some pictures of my UTA Railcar Set No.s 6 & 7. Quote
jhb171achill Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Wow!!!! In the earlier scenes, is that a straight-sided non-corridor BNCR coach in the middle? Couldn't really make it out? Quote
