Yes that’s the same brand

That looks similar to what I got from Germany and cheaper.

Sorry I can't give you a name, I found it on a German Railway Site (HO loads) about 10 years ago but can't find it now. Ten Commandments do a standard load if that is any use https://tencommandmentsmodels.co.uk/product/sugar-beet-load-standard/

KIRLEY JUNCTION - Review Of The Year 2022 Projects and stock running on the layout.

Great progress

20' Containers on IRM 42' Bogie Flat Wagons.

Class 80 re-engined I bought this model back in 2012 and it was driven by a Lima Pancake motor which was never a great runner. I finally got around to attempting to re-motor it using a Hornby motor. I built a cradle to support the motor with plasticard, I applied bogie sides (ex-Class 73) and re-wheeled the rear bogie . Video shows its test run on the layout. [With thanks Darius for the idea]

Superb Noel, a fitting reward to the long hours you have put into this layout.

Airfix Esso Tanker Probably one of the earliest models made by the late Derek Young. I decided to recycle it as I had a spare SSM oil wagon conversion kit. After shortening the chassis, I added the brass parts, new wheels and couplings and gave it a primer coat. Now a IR Molasses Wagon the model retains memories of Derek, a great railwayman who sadly passed this month last year.

Thank you, if you go to my Kirley Work Bench it's all there.

I just look in wonder, congratulations.

Just announced GSR / CIE Class 101 (J15) with 'Z' Boiler 0-6-0 as the next offering from 00 Works.

Although way above my skill level I would like to see your chassis please to see how you did the cosmetic inside motion.

Good to see more pictures of Gort. I get the feeling your new stock will be getting the weathering treatment soon Noel?

Ex SLNCR Railcar B -CIE #2509 Putting 2509 through its paces on Kirley Junction.

Took 17 goes before I could get the driver in the right position; it was a bit like building a ship inside a bottle. The unusual buffers were also a bit of a challenge. Lead weights added, just a few bits to finish off before the test run.

Those extra details really lift this model, looking forward to No. 65

SLNR Railcar B/ CIE 2509 More progress, model painted in matt black and I added some yellow to the 'Golden Brown' as all the pictures I saw these colours were faded. Gave it a spray of satin varnish to lift the colours a bit. Ordered white lines from Foxes and they arrived the next day. Model lined and numbers added. After varnishing the body, fitted glazing and bulkheads. Cab interiors, buffers, door handles and handrails still to be fitted. Mike, I think you sent me a picture of that young fella hanging out of locomotive a few years back.

Excellent result, well done.

Good to hear from you Mike. The "pebble dash " finish is not as bad as it looks in the photographs and after some primer it looks okay, to my eyes anyway. There are too many ribs to contemplate sanding.

SLNR Railcar B/ CIE 2509 I got one of these Railcars years ago but it did not match the detail on one produced in 3D. So I purchased it but had to build a new chassis but used the motor and bogie from the old one. Work in progress.

Looks good, what are you going to use to motorise the model?

KIRLEY JUNCTION – Class 22000 After IRM’s announcement last weekend of an ICR Railcar model it looks like early retirement for this model.

Thanks Andy, after a bit of running in and some soft pencil on the axle boxes, that should reduce it considerably.

Thanks Darius, I take it 54 is a typo and should read 64. I used Black Beetle motors in mine, what power source are you using? I never added interiors, maybe your build will spur me to go back and finish them.
