BosKonay Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Awesome inspirational work and pace Noel! Keep em coming!
ttc0169 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 Good morning gentlemen, After successful trials I have been able to operate four trains at the one time around the layout including shunting in the yard, Here is a photo of 086 arriving with the Supertrain Mk3 set at platform 4 with loco 087 passing though light engine heading for the MPD, Platforms 2 and 3 are occupied with 234 pushing the Mk4 set and 8208 working the De-Dietrich Enterprise set. Loco 201 and 0117071 are stabled on the turntable road.
Hunslet 102 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Great pic Noel from the classic black n tan era,layout coming on well
DiveController Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Love the Mark III Supertrains, Anthony! Picked up some Lima Mk IIIs in IE livery. Even then it seems the coaches were more than one shade of O***ge so the coaches in the rake don't match (basically some of them are yellow). Need to get my hands on a few more mismatches so I can respray the lot into ST livery! Waiting on a rake of MM ST MkIIs to be repainted into SUPERTRAIN livery. If it's a good match, off go the MkIIIs to D&M. Edited September 2, 2015 by DiveController

ttc0169 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Late night Possession on Tara Jctn sees 017080 depart from the ballast loading siding with the HOBS train, 086 has charge of the super train liveried Mk3s which include an extra Mk3 EGV which is en route to Westport to replace a failed EGV.
enniscorthyman Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 It's looking a fantastic mk2 Tara junction Noel. The sperry and weed trains look good in the sidings.
ttc0169 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks lads-so far so good, In this scene we see NIR 8113 stabled at the loop platform with the RPSI Mk2 set which has arrived from Whitehead, 0117080 is working on the bi-directional line with the HOBS train.
Hunslet 102 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Great pics again Noel,scenery is starting to add the next dimension to what will be a superb layout,well done
BosKonay Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 A massive inspiration as always! Your pace is incredible!
Glenderg Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Shaping up to be something superb. Love the track layout for the per way area onto the main line. Nice north wall vibe about it.
Weshty Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Yup, liking this a lot, good variety with a modern focus. well done.
ttc0169 Posted September 19, 2015 Author Posted September 19, 2015 Saturday evening at the new fuelling point at the west end of Tars Jctn sees locos 073,080,084,087 and 088 test out the facility

Well put Andy, just close your eyes and you can smell the atmosphere, Great stuff Noel
ttc0169 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks lads-very much appreciated.
Kirley Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Nice to see your Fueling Point Noel, a rarely modeled but essential part of any railway scene. The new layout is developing well.
GSR 800 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 bit of blackntan heaven there Noel. the fueling point is a lovely addition to the layout.just keeps getting better
ttc0169 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Good afternoon gentlemen, As the real loco 083 has started touring the country with the Sperry train, I decided to ask the loco fleet controller could he allocate an 071 loco to my own Sperry train, I smiled when I seen 083 come off the MPD and set about shunting part of the weedspray train and Sperry wagon together for this years programme.... Here we see 083 haul the Sperry train along the up fast line through Tara Jctn station,it's going to be a busy afternoon for the train as it shares the lines with the various passenger services.
BosKonay Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Constantly impressed with your speed and work ttc! She's only looking mighty!
Kirley Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Excellent picture Noel, the light brings a 'real' look to it.
The Derry Road Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 loving this Noel, 071's and sunshine brings smiles and delight any day.TDR
ttc0169 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 Afternoon gentlemen, I've always liked the weed effect on old sidings at stations,so I've tried to recreate this with this scene as it has blended in well with the hillside, I'm happy with the result, 190+146 have charge of the branch train which comprises of a BR van,a Cravens coach and two Park royals. 1
craven1508 Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 amazing job done there, well done again , love the stories, detail top class.
BosKonay Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Just stunning! Is it static gras, or how did you build it up! Is the overgrown siding still usable?
