Work ongoing to the dart roof and units

[Patrick Davey]

This is almost too much to take in, it's so good.......

[Irish Rail]

Absolutely stunning work loved the all the fine detail

[Noel]

Hi @warb They look really sharp and detailed. Are the bodies brass, plastic or 3D?

[warb]

The bodys are evergreen styrene sheets and the roof is isopon with plastikard

Warb, theres something magical about this entire project, the realism, detail, atmosphere, feeling and sheer dedication. I take me hat off to you!

[JasonB]

Love the shot at 4:25 as the 141 passes over the bridge with bubbles. One word...class.  

[Georgeconna]

Nice Vid, Shame bout the Music!

 

[David Holman]

Probably the best layout in Irish modelling history. It reeks of realism and atmosphere.

Literally perfection. You've perfectly captured the area and the craftsmanship of the buildings/scenery is mind blowing.

What is the name of the yellow Iarnrod Eireann wagons in the background that look like they haul ore and where do I get them? 

[warb]

I have been asked to show the video without backgroung music here's the link wit a little extra at the end

They are Autoballasters, one of the hardest Irish RTR wagons to get, even sourcing  the UK equivelant wagon to repaint is tough

Ah I see. Sure maybe there will be another a run if there is demand! 

[Georgeconna]

Dats the Job, Bit of Luke Kelly or such fine but the music you had did not justify your hard work and Fab Layout! You should lay over some city sounds at some stage.

It's been about 7 years and still no sign. They were a commission by 3 Irish stores from Bachmann. 2 of those stores have since ceased trading with only Marks Models left.

So its down to IRM if its going to happen in the future?

If IRM do them they will be better than the Bachmann versions as they basically the UK versions resprayed. The IE ones have a different bogie and buffer type, IRM might even get a lighting pack in them too.

If someone wants a model badly enough they can always follow WARBs example and scratchbuild a plasticard body on a proprietary chassis.

If I re-member correctly it took longer for IE to commission the 2750 Sparrow railcars after their arrival in Inchacore than it took WARB to complete his  model from scratch including to measuring and photographing the prototype shortly afters its arrival in Ireland!

[BosKonay]

I think the issue is that bachmann no longer accept third party commissions (which the Irish auto ballasters were)

Looks like a relatively easy respray of Bachmann Rail Track 38-210. No masking needed, one single colour, just a lot of small transfers to be carefully placed. Personally I've not interest in anything yellow, nor PW stuff, so never aspired to respray any rail track stock. I remember seeing a twin pack of Irish rail ones for sale a few years ago for €70 and my jaw nearly dropped thinking no way I'd ever pay €35 each for a wagon especially one that didn't transport either passengers or goods. If one was into yellow PW stuff that sounds like a good deal now compared to buying and respraying RailTrack but its an easy single colour respray.

SSM do the transfers (see below)

God knows what the price of these would be on a re run with the Baccy Price hike.

[WRENNEIRE]

I know a person who got £200 for a double pack, eBay can really bring out some crazy prices

Noel, 

 

You are a legend! I think I'll have a go at respraying! Is there any way to get know what shade of yellow would be similar or just trial and error?

This is the one you want, curved top
