ttc0169 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Posted October 3, 2015 Just stunning! Is it static gras' date=' or how did you build it up! Is the overgrown siding still usable?[/quote'] No Stephen-it's not static grass....its from the Noch range, The siding is useable-I plan to use it for the loading of the timber trains and the HOBS train.

driver301 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Lovely work Noel. It really is taking shape & its not easy to recreate a disused look in model form. Looking forward to the next update Quote
jhb171achill Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Very realistic indeed - excellent stuff. Quote
jhb171achill Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I'm hoping that the 2016 Emerald Isle Express and the May RPSI Tour will both have an overnight at Tara Junction so I can travel by train to there.... That's how realistic it is..... Quote
ttc0169 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 Morning gents, A loco swap took place earlier-7071 was due an exam so it was removed from the timber train and replaced by orange liveried 077, 077 is seen here after arrival from the MPD with 0117071 heading for the MPD. Quote
John-r Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Fantastic layout, always look forward to the next photos, Quote
BosKonay Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Just getting more and more realistic looking!! Love it!! Quote
craven1508 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 amazing job, the rolling stock scenics are top notch. Quote
The Derry Road Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Noel great work, love your industrial background it gives great depth to the scene. keep it coming. TDR Quote
ttc0169 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 Good evening gentlemen, After an enjoyable exhibition at Blackrock at the weekend-and pints in very good company afterwards,it was time to head back to the junction... I couldn't resist purchasing sound fitted MM 161SA as it was the first (of all) the 141/181 class locomotives I had had a cab ride on over the Ballina branch, After fitting all the brake pipes etc-and having given the loco a slight weathering ,it was time to give it a test run, I'm delighted with the quality of the sound and all its features, Here we see the loco heading for the fuelling point-and joining 071 locos 084,087 and 088, On the far road we see ex works loco 080 in the new IR livery. Quote
The Derry Road Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Very nice atmosphere, Noel, looking good TDR Quote
Noel Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 The light weathering looks well. Impressed you got it done so quickly. Was that one of the legomanbiffo ESU chips? Looking forward to hearing the sound from a video clip if you get the time. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 A nice scene,and 161sa looking well. Quote

aclass007 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Nice! I love the supertrain era... Is this your first loco with sound? Quote
ttc0169 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 Nice! I love the supertrain era... Is this your first loco with sound? It's the first 141 with sound,I have 5 071s and 4 201s that are fitted with sound-and the tamper 751. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Nice video Noel,layout looking great Quote
ttc0169 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 0117076 is stabled for the night on the up station siding at Tara junction with the Sperry wagon and weedspray train, Arrow liveried 2601+2602 await the road into the MPD from the up loop road. The yard inspector oversees proceedings and is using his Massey Ferguson 135 for transport. (Thanks Andy) Quote
jhb171achill Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 That really looks amazing. Love the weed grown siding on the left. I remember when the 26's first appeared like that, some in the railway called them "Fanta cans". Soon they were to be repainted as "Lilt cans"! Today, of course, they're "diet 7-up", while NIR's railcars are red bull cans....... Quote
ttc0169 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 The driver of 161SA notches off power while passing through Tara Jctn Station with a mixed rake of Park royal and Cravens coaches which are forming a relief special following 086SA on a Mk3 Super train set. Quote
Dave Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Lovely scene Noel. The layout is really taking shape. Quote

Looks so authentic. 161 sounds great. Edited November 5, 2015 by Noel Quote
Kirley Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Nice video Noel, I'm sure there will a Laminate or two joining that rake in the near future. Quote
