Sulzer201 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks heirflick and Boskonay, love the tune myself and must get down to see the diesels! on the WCR soon. Will post a video of some moving trains shortly, if I ever get the tracks clean enough to stop trains from coming to unplanned, abrupt halts! Quote

Sulzer201 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 A bit of running to test out the PW before the arrival of the O71 [video=youtube_share;7ZNBarpSnpo] [/VIDEO] Quote
heirflick Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) is the station house an airfix kit by any chance?...it looks really good! Edited October 19, 2012 by heirflick Quote
Sulzer201 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Hi heirflick - I think it was built from an airfix kit alright. I bought it at one of the 'Bray Toys of Yesteryear', found that Sean Ryan often has some great deals on kits and rolling stock. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks lads, as I say that kit was already built when I got it and it only cost me a few euro. My building skills are still very much below basic level I'm afraid. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 A few more pics of the slow progress. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) 071 got on the line despite not having a train to haul. Was getting the dins in the kitchen this eve when the four year old said he'd something to show me in the sitting room. I followed both he and his three year old brother to the sitting room only to find poor 071 laying on a chair - they had somehow managed to squeeze her out of the cabinet. Luckily she escaped with only some loose catwalk handrails, I got a fright and she immediately departed for the attic. Edited November 13, 2012 by Sulzer201 Quote
Kirley Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Your layout is building up nicely, keep up the good work. Quote
josefstadt Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Looking good Sulzer201. Luck escape for 071, I'd say you got a scare alright! What's the backscene in the pics of the oil train? It looks continental. Quote
BabyGM Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Nice work That's a lovely early NIR 111 in the back ground Quote
Sulzer201 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Posted November 14, 2012 Hi josefstadt, yep it is European alright - possibly German countryside. I will change that in time and get something more authentic. For time being its screening off the attic rafters etc. I like the NIR loco BabyGM, she's rough and looks like she's been stored for a long time - rough and needs some work but she still runs and takes the odd gallop around the attic.

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Nice to see young blood taking an interest in the hobby Quote
josefstadt Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Hi Sulzer201. The layout is looking great. Am I right in thinking that the colour light signal in the second pic is one of the Hornby Dublo ones of old? Thanks for the info on the backscene. Could I ask where did you get it / who made it ? Thanks Quote
heirflick Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 ][ATTACH=CONFIG]4097[/ATTACH] i presume that little one is lisenced to operate the bigger ones layout? Quote
Sulzer201 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Posted November 23, 2012 Yes josefstadt the signal is an old dublo and it works. I got that back-scene at one of the Bray Toyfairs, from Walter Oberie - Kinvara-Model-Train / waldenmar@eircom.net. He does a lot of German/European stuff including back-scenes and his open to a bit of haggling too. Hi Heirflick - the little lad runs them under strict supervision but he knows not to touch the trains - even though its like Adam and Eve faced with the apple! Quote
josefstadt Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks for the info Sulzer201. I'll contact Walter about the back scene. Quote
RedRich Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Great stuff Sulzer. 071 looks very at home in it's surroundings. Rich, Quote
Sulzer201 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Posted December 2, 2012 Thanks Rich - Next purchase will have to be the sound chip for her and then maybe some timber wagons. Tommy. Quote
enniscorthyman Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Looking good there Tommy,and I am sure You are enjoying your 071s.Great to see the kids enjoying the layout as well. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Posted December 25, 2012 A few more clips - reflecting the modern scene as DMU'S rule. Quote
