Robert Shrives Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Adam has advised that the malnourished Intercity will be redone shortly. Range covers a control car and suburban variants long with catering and genny - which will need some work on a donor of course . Suited best to vehicles with black roof or need to paint donor - but at least its one colour and easily done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainelectra Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 This is my first post on this forum so, firstly, many thanks for adding me. Thank you to Robert for the mention. I have been doing some improvements to the Mk3 coaches since that picture was taken - please see the attachments. The Inter-City logo has been beefed up with the orange darkened slightly. Not having seen these coaches in the flesh, so to speak, I am reliant on pictures but this feels right. The air-conditioned Mk2s are also on the drawing board in Inter-City and Galway colours. I have made a few tweaks to the artwork for the composite coach to fit the Airfix/Hornby Mk2D. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhu Varren Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Without wanting to criticise what seems to be a solution to producing the Irish version of the Mk3 coach, but should the door at the kitchen end of the restaurant car not be a standard 'slam door', not a 'plug door' as in the picture above. Certainly all the photos I have seen of Mk3 restaurant cars show a 'slam door' at that end, and a 'plug door' at the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly was a ' slam door ' at that end of the coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainelectra Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I’d totally missed that. Easily fixed. This is why I value forums like this to spot any imperfections. Adam Warr 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainelectra Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Thanks for spotting the error with the Mk3 Restaurant. I'm actually quite embarrased that I missed this one. I have tweaked the artwork with correct doors and have also included the Generator coach for your perusal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainelectra Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Bob Davies at N-Train and myself are collaborating on a new venture in N Gauge - The NIR Class 450 "Castle" DEMU Having just released the BR Class 210 in N Gauge, it seemed a logical next step to keep the theme running with the 450. I need to start researching the liveries and small details. If there is a good resource for things like underframe details, roof bits, etc I be most grateful. The kit will consist of 3D printed bodies, floorpans and vinyl overlays for the sides and cabs. Power can be supplied by a Greenmax or Tomix chassis, with bogies from Graham Farish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shrives Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hi Having part built two 4mm ones it has been a case of trawling the internet for details. As a thought on front ends is it possible to provide a wrap around to avoid the corner join - with having join on a door line perhaps?
