  1. 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.
  2. Some bang just behind the buffer!
  3. 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.
  4. Well that's the Geest ones ordered!! Looking forward to my Nelson dragging these around! Fyffes in the next run I spose!!
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. Bit of a Vid of the History of these...not for kids its seems!!
  8. 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?
  9. Was looking at going to this as I enjoy a trip down there but the daughter hass X-country on Sunday. joys of kids eh so thats me trip gone. Hope it is a good day lads.
  10. Mr Mark Decal Softener is ace TBH.
  11. Well Wear Darius, Tempted for one myself but resisted!
  12. Hey Prest! Weird there no darts on these Doors, Looks Stange.
  13. It is nice for sure. Smokebox hand rail seems to be missing?
  14. Nice, Did not even know they had something like this in Ireland.
  15. Hope it works out for you. Getting Expensive to travel to these things nowadays.
  16. 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.
  17. Load of Yacht Fuel in those wagons
  18. 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.
  19. Mighty Fine Sir.
  20. do the axle box rotate still with the brass bearing?
  21. Yep Pefer a much less shiny finish myself too
  22. 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.
  23. Are Retailers getting some of the sold out packs then or is it the case sold out from IRM nothing gets out to shops?
  24. That will be the normal price of a coach in a few years any how they way things are going.
