Irish Rail Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Absolutely stunning work loved the all the fine detail Quote
Noel Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Hi @warb They look really sharp and detailed. Are the bodies brass, plastic or 3D? Quote
warb Posted June 2, 2020 Author Posted June 2, 2020 Noel The bodys are evergreen styrene sheets and the roof is isopon with plastikard warb 2 3 Quote
GNRi1959 Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Warb, theres something magical about this entire project, the realism, detail, atmosphere, feeling and sheer dedication. I take me hat off to you! 1 1 Quote
JasonB Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Love the shot at 4:25 as the 141 passes over the bridge with bubbles. One word...class. Quote

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? Quote
warb Posted June 6, 2020 Author Posted June 6, 2020 I have been asked to show the video without backgroung music here's the link wit a little extra at the end regards Warb 10 Quote

Mick They are Autoballasters, one of the hardest Irish RTR wagons to get, even sourcing the UK equivelant wagon to repaint is tough 2 Quote

Georgeconna Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 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. 1 Quote

They were a commission by 3 Irish stores from Bachmann. 2 of those stores have since ceased trading with only Marks Models left. Quote

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. 1 Quote

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! 3 Quote
BosKonay Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 I think the issue is that bachmann no longer accept third party commissions (which the Irish auto ballasters were) Quote

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) https://www.oliviastrains.com/trains/mt/bachmann-wagons/bachmann-high-capacity-hopper-wagons/bachmann-38-210-jja-autoballaster-generator-in-railtrack-livery/ Also regularly on eBay 1 Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 I know a person who got £200 for a double pack, eBay can really bring out some crazy prices 1 Quote

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? Quote
