scahalane Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 A nice glass of wine to celebrate getting the lights on my a class to finally work. Big thanks to Ger711 for helping out here. I've included the diagram he drew for me so I hope it can help someone else. Quote
ger711 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Superb Job on the A Class. Glad to have been able to help. Ger. Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Brilliant work that shed is breath taking when you consider the work that you put in to it. Quote
gm171 kk Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 The standard of work done on this thread is phenomenal. Quote
scahalane Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Just a quick update on the workbench. Some very slow progress on roofing the Cork shed. The roof corrugated effect was done by pressing layers of glued tin foil using a plastic card template. This work is extremely tedious so to alleviate the boredom I have started modeling the girder bridge on the eastern approach to Cork station. Hope you like. Quote
Weshty Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Masterful and some amount of work. I'll be adding this to my etch "to-do" list..... Quote

Dave Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Just stunning I'm in awe of your work, well done Quote

Seriously, that wiring is just perfect for an analogue layout. Quote
kevrail Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 The quality of modelling is just breath taking. More pics please to inspire me Quote
heirflick Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 great detail on what i think is the best livery of the metro vics! a well deserved glass of plonk:tumbsup: Quote
islandbridgejct Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 The 001 and the shed roof are magnificent. This is going to be one hell of a layout. Any chance of a pic of your roof press tool? There've been a few accounts of using foil for corrugated roofs on here, and I'm hoping to use the technique on my GSWR convertibles. Would I be able to curve it to shape after laminating and pressing the corrugations in? Or would I be able to corrugate it after curving it? Alan Quote

Alan I don't think it would be a good approach for doing a wagon as all the handling would probably put the foil out of shape. But I'll stick up a tutorial and a few photo's in the next day or so on it. Quote
finnyus Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 That is incredible work! Well done. Cannot wait to see the end result of the girder bridge! Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Love the bridge and you have the patience of a saint with all that lattice. Quote
Shinkansen Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Might have said this before but... truely great work on the A Class. Silver Foxes' simple model lifted to a much higher level. Thanks for the inspiration, have picked up an 'A-class' kit to have a go myself sometime in future. Also, yet more stunning work on Cork Yard/Kent station with your work on the girder bridge. Only took a spin over the prototype the other day. What's your plans?? Are you modelling Cork Yard/Kent station as a stand alone/shunting type layout or is it going to be part or a larger 'looped' layout? Anyway, keep the pictures coming. Quality stuff as always Tom Quote

Quality stuff as always Tom Cheers Tom, the plan is to model the Cork yard and main station condensed and in two halves to form a loop. I have an attic space 5.5m X 4m and I'm planning to build the yard with shed and cement works on one side and the main station on the other. I've been playing about with some rough track plans but nothing fully worked out yet. At the moment I'm concentrating on building the various structures for the layout. I've insulated the attic and the next step is to build the base boards. Quote
islandbridgejct Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 ... the plan is to model the Cork yard and main station condensed and in two halves to form a loop. I have an attic space 5.5m X 4m and I'm planning to build the yard with shed and cement works on one side and the main station on the other.... I was measuring it on Google Earth a while back, and reckoned 6m x 2.5 would take you from the tunnel mouth to half way through the shed, so you should be able to do it without too much compression. Would love to see the track plan when you finalise it. If you used the Cobh platforms to represent the other end of the line (can't remember where it goes to at the moment), you could send trains to yourself. Alan Quote
scahalane Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 The girder bridge is nearly complete, and I have become a certified rivet counter!! All is left now is a paint job and some billboard decals. Quote
BabyGM Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 That is absolutely brilliant some of the best skill I've ever seen Quote
Glenderg Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I'd love to know what you did in a past life Sca to justify all that rivetting! Seriously though, its Wonderful stuff and a fine example of patience and effort paying off. i used foil for my rivet plates on the viaduct,(several thousand) but this is another levl altogether.

Guest hidden-agenda Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 That looks the dogs so far schalane and i noticed your glass was empty,you deserve a new bottle at this stage. Quote
Warbonnet Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Absolutely riveting stuff (sorry!) brilliant model making! Quote
Kirley Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Absolute brilliant work, you must have a great feeling of satisfaction on accomplishing this degree of finish. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 WOW!!!:drool::drool::drool::drool::drool: Quote
Mike 84C Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Scahalane, thanks for your comments on 850 but your bridge is brilliant; doing all that riveting may have driven you to the drink but its hot thirsty work so fill that glass!! I was at Cork Glanmire Rd station last September and thought what a good model it would make. So please keep posting so we can enjoy. Mike Quote
