I was on it recently when going from Belfast to Galway. I was in the buffet car and I saw he conductor's list of 1st class passengers which consisted of 7 people!
What space do you have? I would say getting a few track packs might not be a bad idea if you're just starting off, but boskonay's right, it does start to limit you after a while, especially if you want to run long trains.
Agreed, Rich! It looks the best weathered too Well, I think Anto's 220 weathered looks better than his 222 or 229 anyway. (it's lovely too though!)
I can't, I'm already asking for dcc, a 201 sound decoder and probably loads of track too!
My weathered 220 arrived today! Detailing is superb, I'll be getting all my fleet done by the model shop in due course after seeing this! I'll put up a few photos on Monday!
I'd be careful if I were you Anto! If he's that into irish railways, how long until he discovers this site? Actually he might have already seen the site and just not become a member!
