IE Class 22000

[Past-Avenue]

Hi all 

Here's a Bachmann class 170 that i've been working on for a while now and very pleased with my results.

I have still a bit to do like lights etc and tidy it all up but i'm getting there

That’s an awesome layout, the detail in the landscape is just awesome, for one second I actually thought I was looking at Dalkey !! Mega job, well done,

Really great layout-   not a fan of the 22000 in real life but your ones look absolutely brilliant.

Love the rest of the layout too,  fantastic!

Very nice job! Certainly much more convincing the the Chris Dyer version. Fantastic layout too.

Kinda stumped there man
Both are 170 donors, which we all know are not 100% correct
Paint job is very good but equally so is the Dyer version, which incidentally is painted here in Dublin

Much more convincing?

Dave, Yes both 170 donors but its more than painting, @Past-Avenue has corrected the door locations and his 22k have doors at the ends like IE's 22k, whereas Chris's are albeit excellent resprays but the doors are all wrong at commuter locations along the coach sides as per CL 170 but not the Rotem 22k class.

Hi thanks  for all your nice comments

I've also titled the cab as can be seen in the picture and shaped the front a little better

I can't fault the paint job of the Chris Dyer version, but a lot more work as gone into this version to get the correct doors and other details. To be fair, there's no way you could mass produce the changes, so that is probably about as good as it could be for a ready to run respray, and absolutely great that it's available.

Should have gone to Specksavers, but they were shut!
