*Re-uploaded, due to the discovery of an error on the originally posted video. Apologies for any inconvenience caused* As a bonus to my recent material from Model Rail Scotland 2010: www.youtube.com , I am pleased to present a special feature on one of the layouts featured at this year’s show. This is Old Blarney, an Irish themed 00 scale layout owned by the Perth & District Model Railway Club. The fictitious location (set somewhere in the middle of Ireland) is modelled in a period between the 1940’s and the present. Scenic features include a racecourse, a fox-hunting party and a traffic jam near the town. The stock consists of locos and units based on those active with GNR(I), NIR, GSR, CIE, Irish Rail etc; The orange and black DMU is a near representation of the GNR(I) 600-619 class, while the green DMU is a kit-bashed, near representation of the CIE 6000-6059 class. Diesel loco haulage is also on show, with CIE diesel A46 on a passenger service being an example. As well as footage, some photographs have been included as well – some can be found at www.davidhennesseystrainworld.fotopic.net Thanks go to the Perth and District Model Railway Club for permission to have their excellent work recorded for this video.

I Have Been Looking On Ebay And Have Found That The Cheapest Sets (Which Can Be Quite Expensive Normally) Are Ones Which Are Unpainted People With A Pack Of 100. I Am Wondering If I Can Paint Them With Normal Paints Such As Acrylics Or Paints That Can Be Used On Shoes/Fabrics.. Or Does It Have To Be Specific Paint?

Thanks =]
