kirley Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Kirley, I was looking at your Youtube post. NIR 80 Class 69. They are all very realistic. The one I particularly like is the maroon front/lower body with light grey upper body & darker grey roof and off white 'diamond' on front. The whole effect is very real (for all of them). How do you do the silvery (chrome) front window surrounds?. Jeremy. Sorry Jeremy for the delay in replying but I was away on holidays and could not access my photographs. I take it this is the Class 80 you are referring too? The windows on the Class 80's were supplied by Richie who then traded as Glenderg Models. The difficulty (for me) was you had to paint the frames and you needed a very steady hand. He's still about but is now part of the Irish Railway Models Group.

NoelG Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Hi Kieran. That first pic is stunning. I didn't realise Richie supplied flush glaze windows. Miss the informative posts about your projects over on the other channel. Noel Edited August 14, 2017 by NoelG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletchj1 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Kieran, (Kirley?). Yes, that is it. Looks really like it. I can see the difficulty with painting the window frames. I am currently working on some Czech railcars (resin body mouldings) and they came with similar glazing inserts with edges I have to paint with aluminium paint. A looks a fiddly job. Just have to be very careful. Jeremy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirley Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Kirley Junction sees the BCDR Class 22, Baltic Tank in action. Had to borrow some UTA coaches to lengthen the rake. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletchj1 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I certainly like that engine (Baltic tank) and the smooth operation. I am a bit puzzled by the stack (chimney). It seems to have two rims around the top. Unusual. Jeremy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirley, my eye is drawn to the building in the background. What material are you using to achieve the stone effect, its very realistic. I'm sure its not the Wills sheets?

NoelG Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I've fallen off my perch with delight. Superb Kieran. This foreground pic over the roof of the stanier coach of the removal truck and bus is just classic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirley Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 BUT CIE/GNR(I) Enterprise Train. Last year I built some BUT Powercars and this year I worked on some coaches to run with them.

NoelG Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Fabulous Kieran. Really enjoyed that. Well done building that entire formation to such a high standard. Watching such scenes does not reveal the many hours of work that obviously went into building such wonderful ubiquitous Irish rolling stock.

Hunslet 102 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Nice one Kieran,about 50 years apart from each set. Hard to believe that the journey time for both sets was pretty much the same. I know which one I would prefer to travel in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunslet 102 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Just thinking of your video and your stock Kieran, you have enough in your locker to do the decades. GNR BUT for 50s, B121,B141s,Jeep and 70 class for 60s, 141,071s,Hunslet for 70s, 071 and 111s in 80s, 201s in the 90s and Dietrich in the 2000s. Look forward to seeing 50 years of change in a video soon! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being on my mind to do one from 1947 up to the 2nd De-Dietrich livery but it would take a bit of organising, maybe some day... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmcg1959 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Has this layout been featured in Railway Modeller yet? If not, Kieran, I would make a point of submitting photographs to the magazine. This layout and its rolling stock will promote Irish railway modelling and would do much to encourage others to do the same.
