Shinkansen Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 082 on the 'timbers' looks the business. Its the type of freight I'd see most often down my way, usually parked up in Waterford West. Yet another reason to spur on building a layout of my own. Look forward to seeing plenty more of 082 in action on Tara junction Quote
ttc0169 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Many thanks lads for your comments, As requested by Boskonay-a short video of 071 and 082 working the autoballaster set and empty timber train-enjoy.... Edited November 3, 2012 by ttc0169 Quote

ttc0169 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 Evening Lads, A busy few days with me finishing the M class buses and renumbering two of my 071s-(077 and 083) I also have two more pocket wagons in the paint shop today and will be added to my set of CPWs over the next few days, Then yesterday a good friend rang me and asked me if I would be interested in buying some of his model railway collection, After a long visit I came away happy with this boxed Lima set of Mk3s and a Piko timber wagon , Of course they had to get a trial run around behind 083 The plan is now to have my two executive coaches added to make a six piece set, As the real 077 is nearing the end of its major overhaul and should be repainted shortly-I decided to get ahead of IE and have 077 in ex works condition out on a CPW liner trial From left-082,077,071 and 083. An aerial view, My friend still has for sale a boxed Lima 201-no'201 also 207-in mint boxed condition and also a boxed Lima "Galway"livery three coach Mk2 set,PM me if anyone is interested as he is not a member of this forum.

Robert Davies Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Concerning the Lima Mk3s.... Colour me green with envy! "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's Mk3s...." -rob Quote
gm171 kk Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Lovely little collection of 071s already ttc, the pocket wagons really suit the 071s. Quote
BosKonay Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 The Lima MK3's are still stunning even after all these years I wonder might Hornby do a run of them at some point, with the resurgence of Irish interest Quote
Robert Davies Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Forgot to mention! Those 071s are jolly pretty too! -Rob Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Fantastic line up Noel loving 083 :x:x:x:x Quote

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I love the red buffer nice touch Noel Quote
RedRich Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Noel you have a collection of rolling stock to put IE to shame. That's the great thing about model railways you can always re create a scene that sadly no longer exists on the prototype railway. You have a good eye for detail also. Rich, Quote
skinner75 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Very, very nice job! Defo get a vid up! Quote
BabyGM Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Great detail with the red left buffer on 082 Brilliant stuff Edited November 23, 2012 by BabyGM Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Once again great attention to detail with the buffer and being able to recreate an actual prototype working is modelling paradise.Well done. Quote
Kirley Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Tara Junction's usual high standard - everything about this layout is so good. Quote
ttc0169 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) A video of last nights operations-071 sound chips are on the way,Thanks Gareth,must get the sound problem sorted out on my iPhone. Edited December 6, 2012 by ttc0169 Quote
Robert Davies Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I grabbed the link and embedded it for viewing straight from the forum - Hope you don't mind! -Rob Quote
ttc0169 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks Rob-much appreciated:tumbsup: Quote
Robert Davies Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks Rob-much appreciated:tumbsup: No worries I do like that stretch of track on your layout, it always looks busy without being too cluttered. Having got a pair of pairs of autoballasters myself, I appreciate seeing a longer rake of them 'out on the line'. Thanks for doing the vids! -Rob ps I'm not even going to go anywhere near my 'bogie timber wagon envy' problem either! <drool> Quote
