jhb171achill Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 A well known person of this website told me that his new copy of "Rails Through North Kerry" had been "confiscated" in lieu of a reappearance on Christmas morning. MY new copy of Joe Coleman's substantial new book on the railways of the Limerick area has similarly been "confiscated" by the Dept. of Domestic Matters, for the same purpose!

Warbonnet Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Apparently an Athearn SD40 is coming my way in Santa Fe. Also contemplating treating myself to a Heljan Metro electric. Though not sure if I've behaved myself well enough this year to warrant one! http://www.hattons.co.uk/202955/Heljan_9007_Metropolitan_Bo_Bo_electric_11_George_Romney_in_London_Transport_maroon/StockDetail.aspx Sweet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have a more firm update in a week or so though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Well, John, people can't do a lot better on the Book front than a copy of Barry's and your book - they've flown off my table at recent sales do's. Personally, my copy of David Maidment's "Urie and Maunsell 4-6-0s" was taken for Christmas - a Christmas present made in Heaven for a Timer like me - cover to cover logs of fast runs with Lord Nelsons etc. And, of course, Richard Maunsell was a Dubliner, educated at the Royal School Armagh. Personally, my Standard request for a pressie is TIME to read, model etc …… Still, I feel blessed to be still here Happy Christmas Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRi1959 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I know it's way past Christmas but as a traditional 'film' user I sold off all the digital camera stuff I bought last year, and didn't use, to fund a £400 railway spending spree over Christmas!
