enniscorthyman Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Very nice,the spay does indeed look well. Quote
Dave Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Very nice, great job on the weathering I have one on my wish list. Quote
heirflick Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 superb layout noel - love the chemical effect on the weedsprayer! Quote
ttc0169 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 Looking great Noel what do you think of Humbrols new range of weathering powders Anto,it was my first time using the weathering powder and I found it brilliant to work with, After finishing the weed-sprayer,I gave a light weathering to an 071,201 a few M class buses and the bogie bulk cement wagons and I'm very happy with the results. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I will have to try some out Bud. You have definitely got a great finish on the weed sprayer Quote
ttc0169 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks gentlemen for your comments, Here are three more that I gave a light weathering to using the Humbrol weathering powder, The first is sound fitted loco 077 077 works back to the running shed after working the autoballaster. Bogie bulk cement wagon 33006 after a light dusting of weathering powder. M class bus on a local service crosses the Overbridge- on Tara Jctn,the wheels have been lightly weathered. Quote
Railer Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Love the weathering effect on 077. Really interested to see that powdered effect used on an orange loco. It makes the detail stand out even more. Especially the bogies. Quote

Robert Davies Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I never get tired of seeing your layout, buses, or locos Noel - btw 077 needs it's bodyshell reseating. -Rob Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Evening lads, A small update this evening sees SSMs Sulzer kit and an M class bus ready for the paintshop with some minor finishing work to be done over the weekend. Quote
Glenderg Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Tidy work on the front window frames on the B Class and front appearance in general. Talk about progress, you must be a hairs breath away from spraying her? What livery are you going for? Same goes for the bus, assume a yellow livery, Noel? Richie. Quote

Talk about progress, you must be a hairs breath away from spraying her? What livery are you going for? Same goes for the bus, assume a yellow livery, Noel?Richie. Thanks Richie,I liked the Supertrain livery on the B101s,I've been looking at photos of them in various books and IRRS journals-so I think I'll go with that livery as it will suit the 1970s era on the layout,It will be a nice addition on short freights or pilot duties, It has to be expressway livery again for the M class-I am very happy with the previous ones that I built and painted in that livery. Quote
josefstadt Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Great work as usual Noel. Can't wait to see the 101 at work on the layout. Quote
BosKonay Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 That's looking impressively tidy Noel!! Keep the pics coming! Quote
Kirley Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I take it from your pictures you are going with the brass chassis and you have a decoder fitted. Have you test ran it yet, looking forward to seeing it finished. Quote

Have you test ran it yet' date=' looking forward to seeing it finished.[/quote'] Yes Kieran,I've stuck with the brass chassis,I gave it a quick test run around the layout and its working fine,just maybe a fine tune of the settings as it will be doing quiet a bit of pilot work at slow speed, The wheels and pickups will need to be cleaned before it enters service as I've weathered the bogies with some more weathering powder... Quote
RedRich Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 You're flying Noel. The loco will look impressive in the livery you have chosen. Weathering look's good btw, keep us up to date. Rich, Quote
enniscorthyman Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Your weathering is looking great Noel,and the M class bus is superb. You are making great strides on your b101.I have fallen behind on mine as I am doing more cleaning up of the shed and attic. Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Afternoon lads, I've nearly finished the Sulzer loco,just one or two minor details, Here are a few photos of the loco on a test run and hauling a typical 1970s freight-The SSM brake van has still to be built and eventually added to the rear of this train...enjoy. Sulzer loco 101. Being overtaken by the Enterprise 101 hauls the loose coupled goods at 35 mph. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Great stuff Noel,its nice to see one finally painted. Quote
irishthump Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Nice job, lovely to see one painted and up and running... Certainly looks the part in Supertrain! Quote
gm171 kk Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The first SSM 101 in operation. Nice work. Quote
heirflick Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 and in the best livery...well done! Quote
Kirley Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Well done Noel, you did not hang about, are we to get a video soon? Quote
driver301 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 A lovely 70's scene there Noel, you don't hang about Keep the pics coming:-bd Quote
BosKonay Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Looking fantastic Noel!! Love the livery! Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Well done Noel, you did not hang about, are we to get a video soon? Thanks lads, Kieran-no video just yet,the motor and pickups need more work as its not a great runner at the moment. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The Sulzer looks great,nice colour scheme and it is great seeing her hauling stock from the best era ever on Irish railways.Another superb scene from Tara Junction,thanks for sharing. Quote
ttc0169 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 Evening lads, I got my three coach Mk3 Push/pull set from the Model shop in Belfast during the week,thanks Gareth, I've allocated sound fitted loco 220 to work the train, The rear three coaches are some spare Mk3s that will be modified with some hopper type windows in the future, Here are a few photos of the push/pull set around Tara Junction. 6101 leading the push-pull set with 220 propelling at the rear. The Dundalk-Bray push pull passes the down Enterprise. Quote
scahalane Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 nice looking model, another great addition to Tara Junction. Quote
gm171 kk Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 That is a lovely set . I see you are even ahead of Inchicore with the 071 works. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Looking great as usual ttc0169,your layout is up to its usual high standards with both stock and the real life hussle and bussle of a busy main line station and works Quote
ttc0169 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks lads,Sean-well spotted...!!! To add to the suburban scene,I picked up a Class 350 EMU while attending the Model rail exhibition in Glasgow last weekend,as in conversation with driver301 he pointed out that it would be the nearest body type to our 29000 DMUs-albeit with some cab rebuilding etc, And yes Paul-you were right....here is the finished DMU doing the rounds on the fast line earlier, The interior of the coaches and each cab have lights fitted which go well with the Enterprise set, Here are a few photos and a video....enjoy. 29101 passes 6101. 29101 passes the Per way depot.
