finnyus Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Morning gentlemen,... [ATTACH]19402[/ATTACH] The bay platform with the 26 is unreal Noel ! Quote
The Derry Road Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Great progress Noel:tumbsup: keep it coming=D Quote
ttc0169 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 Slowly getting there-painting track and baseboard a shade of brown... The HOBS train and tamper are next up for some intensive ballasting work.... Embankment work in progress as well. Quote
irishthump Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Wow! What a transformation! Looks great, can't wait to see more progress..... Quote
josefstadt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Stunning! Love the footbridge and the bay platform - shades of Mallow. Quote
burnthebox Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Noel, that's looking just mega, well done, mind me asking what size is your layout, & did you have the first track's actually down before you changed your plan, thanks I advance, & again well done, lot's of trains running on that, Quote
ttc0169 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 Noel' date=' that's looking just mega, well done, mind me asking what size is your layout, & did you have the first track's actually down before you changed your plan, thanks I advance, & again well done, lot's of trains running on that,[/quote'] Paul-the upper level of the layout measures 15'x10', On the first plan I hadn't fixed the track to the baseboard,but as I'm happy with this track plan I have glued the track to the board-it can be changed again if needed without damaging the track... Thank you lads for all your comments. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Starting to take shape Noel,the station area is going to look good. What type of glue do you use for fixing the track? Quote
ttc0169 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Starting to take shape Noel' date='the station area is going to look good. What type of glue do you use for fixing the track?[/quote'] Hi Andy, I use Superglue-but only on the ends of the sleepers as it makes removal far easier if needed. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Hi Andy,I use Superglue-but only on the ends of the sleepers as it makes removal far easier if needed. Thanks Noel,only on the ends of the sleepers,never thought of that,nice one. Quote
ttc0169 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 A late night possession of the station area sees ballasting and tamping taking place, 0117071 has charge of the HOBS train which is about to discharge along platform one, On platform two tamper 751 has started working under the watchful eye of Tommy the engineer in charge of the operation. Quote
ttc0169 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 Photo taken from the station footbridge sees 0117071 move slowly towards the limit of the possession-(the red light in the distance) in order to discharge ballast from the rearmost wagons. Quote
irishthump Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Damn that looks nice! Really jealous of your progress by the way! Quote
Kirley Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Ballast really lifts the layout, like the little touches like the clumps of grass. Quote
StevieB Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 You are one of those guys who puts the rest of us to shame with your work - long may it continue. Seriously, though, coming along very nicely. Stephen Quote

The Derry Road Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Great craftsmanship as usual, keep it coming.TDR Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Nice work Noel,the new layout is coming on well,lots of nice touches starting to appear,keep it going Quote
ttc0169 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 Good evening gentlemen,thank you all very much for your kind replies,it is much appreciated.... Work is progressing well on the layout-the up and down fast lines have been handed back to passenger services,and attention has now turned to the relief lines... Here we see sound fitted loco 0117077 arrive with the HOBS train on the loop platform-with 0117071 waiting to couple to the weedspray train on platform 4, The tamper and Sperry wagon are stabled on one of the new perway sidings Quote
DiveController Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 What tamper is that, Noel? Is it prototypical of anything that Irish rail would have run? Quote
ttc0169 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 What tamper is that' date=' Noel? Is it prototypical of anything that Irish rail would have run?[/quote'] Morning Kevin-the Tamper is made by a German company called Viessmann, The nearest Irish rail tamper that is nearly similar would be DTS tampers 741 or 742-but I've chosen the number 751 on mine. Quote
ttc0169 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 Evening gentlemen, Another bit of progress done over the last few days....I've added some scenery-(not my strongest point)-but I'm happy with the results The per way sidings are starting to fill up with the weed-spray train and HOBS train now stabled there, Over on platform 6 the 29000 awaits the connection from 208 and the NIR Mk2s which have arrived on platform 5. Quote
Broithe Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 They look well enough to me - don't let the weedkiller leak onto them... Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Scenery looking good Noel,the layout is coming on well and starting to take shape,like your NIR rake Quote
