  1. Can't see anything on the Website that suggest the numbers? Weird, I don't want to end up with Duplicates.
  2. hope to make it, Daughter is in x-country All Ireland that day so fingers crossed
  3. thats a bit of the alright for sure!
  4. 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.
  5. 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!!
  6. Nice, The Grob is a kit I take it, Never seen one advertised. Is there some connection here with the Aircraft?
  7. Should look a lot worse by then!!! Good Work there!
  8. Really looks fab, Lots too take in!
  9. Fab Trips. Beats Athenry. Off next week and was looking at taking me Dad for a trip from Cork to Galway and back up the WRC, the length of time to do it is nuts.
  10. Da job, You would be well miffed after paying out the 650 for one when they came out. Goo price now despite their problems.
  11. Went for the Black roof ones myself. Had the whole lot of coach options selected and the total price 6 month payout was a sobering 180 per month so cut back a tad. Have to eat too!! When I started the Irish stuff it was just a 141 and a couple of cravens running around a Country Terminus I had in Mind.
  12. Nice one on the video, Was planning to go up with my Dad but a deadly case of man flu struck so stayed put. Balls as Marks had some O gauge stuff for me too. Ah well. On the plus side saved 70 notes worth of Diesel so that will go on summit else no doubt as going to Scale Model World in Telford in 2 weeks time.
  13. Had a mission to get 7 set of Tara's for 2 friends. Guess that is a mission abort now. Just goes to show some people are not swayed by uber detail and will happily run stock as such. Maybe a railroad range is forthcoming.
  14. Wise choice, Can also be rereleased numerous times with Different numbers over the next while I expect.
  15. Have done this am Sometimes lads might have a fix for the issues Stephen rather than sending it back that's all, Others have also done same. No other agenda I
  16. FS he probably did it in 2 mins for bit of a Giraffe. Expecting a Rembrandt r summit? Relax dude.
  17. I passed on details to Mark about a lad I met in Dublin last month, He makes Museum Quality 3D prints sand would take commissions, None of this sanding down nonsense. He had a 3D print of a Gemini Space Capsule which was amazing. Top quality gear of the shelf. The Model Bunker™ You can see the Gemini space capsule on a Facebook vid on the link below. It's going to a Museum in the USA. 3D Models Kits (facebook.com) the bomb and troller below I seen in the flesh and were amazing finish.
  18. Better printing there from what I seen Before and its turned out nice.
  19. Saw That at lunchtime, the joys of Tail Lifts. Dunno what the lads was doing on the back of it, should of turned the pallet in the truck. And good luck with the insurance on that as the Carrier has limited liability so hope they have their own!!
  20. Decided to give it a go last night and the result is an engine that does not fall off the track. bit frustrating and fiddly to do especially the spring element as that was expected to ping off into the universe, however it did fall off on to the track thankfully on the 1st test run post-surgery and was put back in where is has stayed put. Only thing that was missing was one of the chain attachment part that hangs off the body and the chain get fixed to . 2 foot steps had broken off and re set To do this I looked at the coupling and removing the buffer beam it looked like I could slip the coupling out without removing the body and that was the case. 2 screws for the Buffer Beam and out it pops, 3 Screws for the Kinetic Coupling and out it slides, just watch that Spring!! Sand down the profile of the main part and re sit. Only thing now it does not like 3rd rail!! Beast of a Model, the weight is something altogether, the cab lighting is unreal along with the engine room lights, Etched footsteps too!. Sound is immense too even just idling! Delighted to have now the 1st two loco from the IRM /Accurascale stable in the fleet. Think that is me full to the brim with UK Locos now, just one more to come and that will be the Leader from KR. 20221020_224017.mp4
