The baby GM and short set puts me in mind of a Ballina branch working. Top job on the IFM park royals, they look to be a decent model of a very interesting and unique prototype

Another visiting set of wagons in the shape of some excellent built Tara mines bogie wagons have been put to the test on the layout

Here are a few photos of them behind various locos

[Glenderg]

Great stuff!

Another 071 joins the fleet at Tara junction-011071-seen here hauling the HOBS train on the down line-it's first train after entering service.

 

 

[BosKonay]

The detail picked out and subtle weathering make this just perfect!!! Beautiful job, right down to the wiper!

[rebelred]

Is that a re-spray TTC? She looks darker than the models on sale and more realistic.Those Loco's just don't look right colour wise maybe they just need a bit of subtle weathering like yours, Beautiful finish!

[RedRich]

Nice scene as usual Noel. I always look forward to updates on the layout.

 

Rich,

[heirflick]

lovely job on 011071 - the orange wiper is a class touch! all you need now is a bunch of camera carrying enthusiastic minitures of us boyos trespassing on the line to take pics of her!!! Btw - is she sound chipped?

Thanks lads

Rebelred-no it's not a respray it's straight out of the box with a light weathering done with weathering powders and a repainted yellow front with the grab rails removed-thanks.

[enniscorthyman]

Nice job Noel.Reminds me to sort out my own grab rails on grey 071.

[Noel]

Absolutely stunning. I'm new here. Love the layout and others I've just found here this evening. Still browsing the forum. What a find. Do you mind me asking what you needed to achieve that sound with the CIE/IE loco? The sound of the general electric is etched in my memory since a boy. Is it part of a DCC module, or a separate add-on. Is the sound generator stored in the loco or on the layout? Many thanks.

Hi Noel-and welcome to the site,

Thanks for your kind comments,

The 071 and 201 locos have been fitted with a DCC sound chip which are available from the model shop Belfast,Graham's toy master in Portlaoise and Marks models in Dublin,

The locos are fitted with a speaker so it's just a matter of easily fitting the chip and programming the chip and away you go,

The sound really adds to the layout with hours of fun to be had,and highly recommended.

Early morning at the running shed sees all three grey liveried 071 loco's getting fuelled and serviced for their day ahead,

The loco controller has allocated 011071 to the empty timber train,while 011078 will be allocated to the IWT and 011077 to the DFDS CPW liner
