irishrail201 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hi All, I am a novice to modelling anything, I have a large stash of 00 gauge bits. However I have always had an interest in narrow gauge railways particularly the Tralee and Dingle. I also volunteer on the Stradbally Woodland and Cavan & Leitrim Railways, along with being a co-ordinator for the Avonside "Nancy" Restoration Project. I recently purchased a minitrains boehler 0-4-0WT and sent it away to be customised by James Hilton (available on Google) into one of the Andrew Barclay 0-4-0WT locos, the results are astonishing! I'm tempted to go and form a small BNM outline layout with a few turf wagons. Any suggestions would be welcome. I have just sent away two partially built Chivers Tralee and Dingle Hunlset loco's to be modified and detailed for me, will update you when they return. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Lovely little loco! I’d love to see a steam BnM layout; I could never get those tractors! Your model is very similar to a BnM one. Imagine all three! Livery wise, all the above needs is a repaint into a very much darker olivey-shaded green - very dark indeed. Lining was a single yellow line and the number was a small shaded gold transfer. I am not 100% on this, but I think that originally the buffer beams might have been black rather than red.

irishrail201 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) The attached is (C) William Ford taken at Cushina Works The green in the photo I've taken is on a poor quality phone camera, in reality it is quite dark and is Andrew Barclay green and although missing some of the lining below I am very happy with it.

jhb171achill Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I stand corrected; buffer beams WERE red, on the front anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
