    Looking at another lessor known forum some surgery is required. seems to be the Kinetic Couplers (not a great fan of those as the Murphy Mk.2's ones and some of the IRM bogie flat wagons don't like recentre) causing the issue. See the profile is changed on the top bar in the piccy below. Screwdrivers are the ready....sometime when the bench is clear of stuff. Nah! they were on the yoke when it arrived, One fell off already on its first lap.

    Mine finally arrived Today, Nimbus with sound. Nice one! Rushed out to the shed at lunchtime found it is the only Loco in my Stable with Derails at 2 spots plus a clicking sound from the bogies. Generous enough Curves too and the Similar bogie'd 31 / 201 no issue. More investigation needed but similar to this. from 5.43min My own Vid below also included. Any one else come across this? I don't see any fixes on the nett at the mo. 479397285_20221020_142226(1).mp4

    Fingers crossed its a 22000 as that is well outside my sphere of interest and will save me a few bob! Old Gen Railcars had some sort of Nicety's and comfort about them but still don't feature too heavy in my rolling Stock list! A Breakthrough release into TT Scale with 141 and Cravens Train set with correct track would be ace though.

    Some bang just behind the buffer!

    Just came out a short time back. Loco look very nice too. only Available on line from the Big H. Now was there not a Accurascale box with TT marked on it doing the rounds :). Seems to be the next big thing to make a few quid off of with Peco, Heljan etc starting the flow. Hope it kicks off would be a nice thing to have choice of this year ago as a 125 in this scale would be Ace.

    Well that's the Geest ones ordered!! Looking forward to my Nelson dragging these around! Fyffes in the next run I spose!!

    Bit more here nicked from RMWEB. Late50s and early 60s: Fyffes to Exeter Central from Southampton. Dedicated, fully fitted trains of proper banana vans. Often Nelson turns (Eastleigh Loco) in 1960/61. Exeter Central Up Yard had a special Fyffes Depot for ripening and distribution. Pic of Liverpool, unreal amount of Wagons Landscape Histories from the Air : Garston Docks (cam.ac.uk) Now I thought it would of been nice to Release a MN Elder Fyffes Loco too at the same time

    Could be but these were brought over say on a Ffye's ship so I would expect they would run directly to the companies off loading point for quick handling en mass some trains having 70 vans from what I read.

    Bit of a Vid of the History of these...not for kids its seems!!

    Horray! finally some RS I can fit it! nice one Had a quick look on the net but could not see an answer...Did the Fyfe's and Geest vans get mixed in trains?

    It is nice for sure. Smokebox hand rail seems to be missing?
  16. Georgeconna
    Nice, Did not even know they had something like this in Ireland.
  17. Georgeconna
    Hope it works out for you. Getting Expensive to travel to these things nowadays.
  18. Georgeconna
    I was under the impression that any new stuff had to be but sure in Ireland we do the If only very well. Traffic is shite down there at the best of times.

    Load of Yacht Fuel in those wagons

    All the Renumbering I did was using white Spirits on the MM Stuff. No Hassle either. Don't try that on a IRM Product though from what I seen on some ones brake van on this forum, Not sure why there are different paints / Inks used.

    Can I ask where did you obtain the number plates from? The Sunrise Transfers dont come with plates or numbers of any kind you could cobble together.
