Hi folks, Happy new year. Though I just dumped stuff into one thread from here. Was shopping in Aldi and spotted a lone Hurricane from Airfix on the shelf so I felt sorry for it and took it away and started to crack into it. Was enjoying it so much decided to pop my P-51 cherry and pulled that out too plus whilst up in the loft sticking some rubbish up I spotted a Tornado F.3 that I brough back down so all three are on the go. Hurri is nearly done. The 51 is a lovely fitting kit and the Tornado well it not the best. I'll be doing that in flight on a stand.

Beats my 160 pairs of Socks big time.....

It was fully engaged at the start, Just demonstrates the movement of same. I'm not too bother, As Noel says Kaydees would be the bizz.Just need to save up for em.

How do you think I get the cash for all the Stuff

I use contact adhesive or Bostik type goo.

Here is some Video, Failed getting into the Oscars so sorry bout the quality, Need more lighting in the cabin. 1st on of a A with Weedy Trains The 2nd one if MK.2 and a mystery uncoupling!! again sorry about the quality, The missus had the only fans set up at the time so had to make do with a manual yoke.

Well pleased to say lots of shunting about here and there and while the camera was rolling not an item of stock fell off the rails!!. Typical, Anyhow here are some shots of the A Class and 201 Coupling under the 42ft ones plus the couplings not centering. You can see I have some silicon grease is added to the 42's to help this but no luck. I can't figure out why the couplings are not going back to the center.

Dam did not know they had it, Ordered a Woolwich Ferry Book off them well before xmas still waiting could of bundled it it there.

Just Vat Spud, Printed stuff is Zero % Use this site, Click advanced search and type in books. : TARIC Consultation (europa.eu)

Same here. I did not want to mention it before TBH. The Weedspray flats derail when going over points as the A Class scoops up the first bogie set when reversing. I'll see If I can Video it later. I think the 201 is the same as it has a droopy long coupling. Over all not a great fan of the couplings on much of the Irish stuff with bogies TBH, They do not like recentering on most stock with bogies, Mk.2 especially. Ugh. Its not like I can pop down to the LMS and pick up some packets of Kaydees, Its either post from Europe with postage Order from the UK extra 3.50 for the pleasure of clearance plus postage.

Going to loft now......could do with a Sea Kayak, 3 of these babies and sorted!

If only they could get the stuff, Order a Doublo MN and W1 from Marks, No show. Never got the MN and had to order the W1 from the UK. Its a bit hit and miss TBH. Maybe not Marks Fault as shops in the UK had problems too but does not give me much Confidence. Popped into the Cork shop the other day, Woeful stock from Paints, Glues, Rolling Stock etc... as I said before massive opportunity there for him.

Many Happy Returns Lads. have a blast!

Interesting stuff, How did ye get rid of them when they popped up. Shoot a few rounds into them?

Nice and they have the signal the right way unlike the one on Fermoy

Another 2 Parkside Vans on the go. Decals on the CCT and order a set for the other van. Missing 2 buffers for the CCT and Peco said they will post these out to me The CCT had a nasty twist on the Chassis so some Hornby old rails were cut and glued in place lengthwise and then other rails were soldered width wise whilst sitting on a glass tile. You can just see them through the window! Nice a level now a, Interiors painted and lead cut up and glued down, They both run nice and will be a nice add on for my parcels train.

Work on the small bits still on going, the Deadline of a year slipped by but now rush now. Still waiting for the sound unit and year later..... thing is with doing something different is the new things you learn, I am making these things now, Called Kites. Used on the Sweeping line to get it down deep. Scratch built plasticard and some chain. Simple. Now need another 2 to make.

For around 2 quid not worth the hassle but if this was something with a larger price and they did not convert from USD to EUR then this would be worrying for sure.

Any chance of moving to Ireland John, Might make things a bit cheaper post wise!!

I'll kick this off, There is another picture somewhere 1971 of me on a Footplate but this will have to do for now. Horsted Keynes 1972. Possibly still my favourite station in the UK. Love the subway, love the Waiting room having a sup while steamers pass by...Signal is gone now and this of course was the limit of the line back then, how they have blossomed. Wonder how my Southern Interest Started...then this is it I reckon.

Does not give any information though Tony on if it is prepaid or not, Technically if there is no postage fee or incoterms noted we would have to add that on to our customs entry. maybe the same here too.

ah now the Staggerwing is a beauty!

tempted myself, It would keep my City of Truro company! Sush!!!

I'd reckon it just the way it slopes upwards in the pic of the model, like the real deal, the qtr view angle accentuates it. there is always a 2nd hand example in Hattons to plumb for.
