A natural sunlight shot take (just by chance) this morning shows a line up of 141 locos being prepared for service led by 143 with 146 behind

Sweet as a nut, love it! Hope the lads in the yard have their on

[irishthump]

Always loved this layout, so much going on yet never looks too crowded!

[RedRich]

Great shot Noel. There's nothing like natural sun light to show a model at it's fullest potential. Seeing the four of them together really brings it home how great a model the babies are.

 

Rich,

.....absolutely superb shot!

[enniscorthyman]

That's a great line up.reminds me of the four 141s that were

coupled together near Clonslla for clearance trials a number

of years ago.

eamonn...tell us that you took a pic of them:praying:

[Southern Yard]

There was a picture in one of the journals a few years ago of the 4 141s on the then new double track to maynooth. I 'be also seen a video of them in action which was shown in the IRRS some years ago.

 

Nice pic Noel, you'll soon be up for the 'model photographer of the year award' and 'model layout of the year award' with all these recent posts!!

[Killucan2]

Ask your man above if he can find the video of the 4 of them.

Thanks lads for all your comments...

Tara junction resignalling scheme The one thing that has been missing from the layout is the lack of signals.....well not anymore, After an enjoyable day at the Warley exhibition last weekend-I arrived home with some of the fabulous Train-tech DCC operated colour light signals, They are excellent with a very easy set up and as the demo says you can programme a number of signals to operate with the one address-which I have done... Here are a few photos of work in progress showing loco 077 being used to test the signals.. And finally...a green aspect here means 077 can proceed....more signalling updates over the coming week....

[enniscorthyman]

The signals look great Noel,and add even more realism

to the layout.

[BosKonay]

Just keeps getting better!

[scahalane]

Those lights look excellent, something more to add to my xmas wish list!

[Dave]

Those signals are excellent, I have fitted quite a few to customers layouts. They look great on your layout.

[irishthump]

Always admired this layout but those signals raise it to a new level!

[josefstadt]

[craven1508]

INCREDIBLE!!!!

[Hunslet 102]

Top notch again Noel,the layout goes from strength to strength

[201bhoy]

Stunning!!!!!!

[RedRich]

Excellent Noel, The signals look right at home. Glad you enjoyed the trip to Warley.

Rich,

 

Thanks lads, Yes Rich Warley was something else and will definatly feature in my diary for next year...

[Horsetan]

New signalling looks good. I wonder if Des / "Weshty" does the etched "anti-vandal" grilles that cover the hoods in some areas?

If I get enough requests, I will!

After a successful commissioning of phase one of the resignalling project which saw nine two and three aspect signals installed-it was time to run some trains,

Phase two of the resignalling scheme will take place in January-I'm planning on installing some more three aspect and four aspect signals for the up and down relief/fast lines....

Anyway back to earlier...a busy evening in the freight yard saw 073 haul the BELL liner into the yard for unloading-073 went off to the depot for its overdue exam and was replaced by 011077 fresh from the depot-the liner train now having some present day MSC containers and reefer units and tanks on board....similar to yesterday's Northwall-Ballina IWT liner which was also hauled by 011077....here are a few photos from earlier....enjoy.

 

 

 

087 storms through the up fast with the empty timber while 085 awaits a crew to take forward the ammonia...and 011077 waits for the timber to clear the section before being let out of the loop siding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Out in the mainline 011077 let's loose with the heavy IWT liner while 071 waits in the other loop with the DFDS CPW liner train.

 

 

 

A view of the new highly detailed reefer boxes-very nice on the rear of the liner

 

 

 

A patrol gangers view of 071 and 011077

 

 

 

And finally loco 078 which is working a seven piece Mk3 set is held at signal TJ 12 as the driver gets down to talk with the controlling signalman who will inform him that he is letting 071 and the CPWs out over the crossover once the empty timber clears signal TJ 15-a busy evening..!!!

[BosKonay]

Absolutely looking the business!!!

[Dave]

Those pocket wagons look great, the whole layout looks great. Are you switching the signals via points or dcc?

[Shinkansen]

The "Patrol gangers view of 071 and 011077" looks absolute class. Excellent work on the freight liners
