Irish cement wagons are excellent Noel. What's the story with them? Who weathered them?

Thanks Derek,

They are MIR resin/white metal kits built and weathered by myself-I replaced the bogies on them with the IRM ones a few years ago.

Been catching up on my Tara Junction videos on YouTube.

Nice to see some different camera angles. One or two shots threw me off at first, wondering where the camera was!

Love it Noel, the ammonia wagons look class as does everything else, though the lads would have made the ammonia wagons a long time ago, maybe in the future. Great layout and videos thanks for sharing 👍.

Tara Junction MPD

The night shift crew admire the newly commissioned locomotive washing plant at the MPD,

Some additional brushes have been added to  match the body profile of the 121/141/181 and 071 class locomotives.
 

171 gets a badly needed wash at the new facility.

A superb detail! Really nicely modelled and great photos too. 

If only IE had put so much effort into keeping the baby GMs clean in their later years.
