Ah it was not that bad if you booked early enough, I remember booking up flights in the 90's in July for IAT Fairford, 88 Punts with EI. Took Me Camera Gear, Step Ladder, Tent and clothes back for nothing extra. probably have the ticket somewhere if I looked. Hate to see what that would cost with FR. Back then you only travelled if you had to. Now Like Noel I hate it, Now Take the Ferry to the UK when I have to. So Silver Fox can't or won't deduct the VAT from the invoice?

Wonderful!

Hi Phillip, Good work Phillip and nice purchase. When doing Stencils and the masking tape is not wide enough the lads just overlap the tape on each other See from 21.44mins Trumpeter's 1/32 English Electric Lightning F.2A/F.6 (part two of three) - YouTube I expect this tamiya sheet will cover your needs it but I would think transfers still would be easier!!!

You'd want more than a Tweezer tbh! Fraid I as gonna break the Coupling with the pressure, same as pulling the Bogie out had to push it out from the top! In the end I took the bogie off, then the coupling altogether and a squeezed and dragged the buggar out. Plastic on those is extremely hard,

Heading up toDonegal via Enniskillan last weekend saw me pop into the Modellers Den and they had some 121 sound chips on the shelf so second one was purchased, 645 variant. Both 121 now have sound decoders in them, and they do sound sweet. Especially shunting. This is using a NCE cab but when I consist of them the sound functions seem not to be available under the consist number, Maybe I need another read of the Manual again! Here on the MM Mark 2's. Tried to switch the couplings to Kaydees but the Mediums are too small and snag. By god the Tensions are hard to get out. 869863010_20221122_231743(1).mp4

Mine blues Arrived this am, Delighted with them, run nice and look the biz! Will have a closer look later. Missus off for the week but headed out for the AM so no questions asked!! 20221128_135919.mp4

Sorted.

LOLnever knew that!! Ta!

Order them earlier and got the 20% off. Should make a nice colourful addition to the Irish set stock. 58 quid a pack! DJ, For me it was a case of loads of things coming together VRS the cash in hand so these were put on the long finger and kinda paid off. There is a qty of 42 of one pack left so interesting if the punters will go for this. Did no know they ran so long in this livery, and I have never actually seen a Tara train in action. From 1977 and repainting in the early 1990s, with Supertrain, Supertrain with IR logos and IR white lined livery providing motive power during this time.

looking wonderful!

Nice job, Pity they don't give the tail markings. Seem lidl will be selling these kits again soon, Same ones as last year. Must dig out my own one to do.

I know its not Black Friday but the Web site says 20% off all ready for the blues, Looks like ready to roll there so pushed the Nuclear button there.

Very nice, Hope this does well for ye, smashing features on it too reading the specs.

the Side on looks lovely. Severely Tempted but GW.!! Will look forward to seeing these running on the internet for sure!

Is that Slaters overlay? looks fab Pity you can get that in Marks.

Wow lots to look forward to! While personally delighted with being able to run full Irish Trains I fear People only can take on so much spending, especially even in part monthly payments, MM stuff and other bits n bobs not too mind finishing a layout! The ICR's pushed me over the sensible monthly limit with Mk.2s and Banana vans on order so I stopped there without a purchase of an ICR, I think I have enough Flat/Bubs/Ferts as well as this stage. I'll look forward to seeing what will be coming out in future and choose carefully, but I think I'll hover at the CIE to IE Era as the operating era. Tis a bit more fun me thinks. I'll leave the railcars to the kids and watch that fun on U tube.

Have a look at my RC puffer for the rigging, might be a bit clearer do decipher.

Should of meant on the 4 Pack there are no numbers but from reading seems different numbers are allocated for all the coaches.

Can't see anything on the Website that suggest the numbers? Weird, I don't want to end up with Duplicates.

hope to make it, Daughter is in x-country All Ireland that day so fingers crossed

thats a bit of the alright for sure!

ah thats fab news.

Got Mine yesterday along with some keg wagons, The Squeeking has gone (have it on the Mags though, drop of oil fix that) The new Ferts make the MIR's look Extremely Poor by comparison. Only downside is the couplings still don't centre on these bogie wagons, I also tried the bar link but due to the coupling sticking they derail. On the plus side changed the IRM coupling on the A class to a shorter Bachmann one and it does not droop under the other wagons couplings when shunting in reverse. all good fun though watching them run around the track.

There was a Mimimum space challenge on a previous form and this was being built for it before the forum went away. It languished on a shelf for the past 7 years+ I'd say so I thought I might try to finish the bugger afte I rest a soldering Iron on it. Might re look at this challenge again. I think it was 4 ft x2ft r summit and do a little Irish Layout. In the mean time Lunch tomorrow with the missus to offset the shed load of boxes due tomorrow from Marks and IRM!!
