you superglued the Transfers on, am I right reading that, Most Transfers are waterslide.

True to form one of today problems from DHL. Ground hog day... Thank fully outa clearances and into Compliance next month....will be able to afford more toys!

Could she strap some lengths of code 75 and some fishplates to her on the next trip JHB?

Fair play all the hard work paid off, I'd say the Southern lads still voted for Hornby though ;)... hint hint..

A ship from the Dutch Navy, A fine sight but being a logistics support ship pretty dull. Thankfully they left the egg beaters outside. Karel Willem Frederik Marie Doorman (23 April 1889 – 28 February 1942) was a Dutch naval officer who during World War II commanded remnants of the short-lived American-British-Dutch-Australian Command naval strike forces in the Battle of the Java Sea. He was killed in action when his flagship HNLMS De Ruyter was torpedoed during the battle, having chosen to go down with the ship. 1 X NH-90 and 2 Pumas on Board.

You should see the shite I have to deal with from DHL.....Christ...

You Never know look at the GT3, Now in BR Blue! An NSE might not be far away! Looks to have fab specs. Close on 500 euros for a Sound equipped one. I think I won't be getting this TBH. Save up for a Windsurfing board instead.

not Those! KR banging these out! Thankfully something down south! 4DD EMU (krmodels.co.uk)

"feck ton" - See that is an official Irish Measurement Value backed up by ISO!

Mmmmmm Beamish.... Looks like RMWEB crashed after this was announced!! Still down too.

This is taking a lifetime length to get going. Took a break from the ship to bash in the remaining 6 point motors. Cobalt digital , Handy enough to stick in took a while to wire up and program each one before screwing them into the boards. Now I have my 3 storage roads which is not near enough for the amount of junk I have. I have 7 Trains in there at the moment but I can fit another 2-bil and a hastings unit behind the Class 6. I need to look at the seperate sections now next and add some copper PCB and cut the track across he basboard joints, I am not relishing the testing after that as I can see all sorts of trouble...

Work on that pre clearance kid...

has to be offloaded yet too. I'm in no panic though!

The Cadena is not ever reported to customs yet, Last arrival was 25th into Dublin. Cadena 3 is Still at sea and underway when I just checked plus the arrival is not even reported yet by revenue. Last arrived on the 25th

Crikey ordered a A Class sound Chip yesterday and it arrived today! Some Service!

Thats the blessing of the Firestick, No Ads! and you can skip the promo crap. I have not watched actual Aerial type TV for ages now. I quite like the Nature programs on the Beeb. RTE Efforts are pretty lame

tks for the Reminder, Had a gig Cancelled in Vicar Street for that night now so will be able to pop do n.

Cheers Tim, Dealing with Customs and clearances is what I do to pay for these toy Train toy things! Sick of the sh1t now to be Honest, Mistakes and issues right across the board every day to deal with from all the major players, Computers have made this a lot harder TBH

I needed to pick something up in the Cork one when that was open and they did have a visitors area. With covid maybe not now. Oh and one more thing FED EX / TNT are now getting their stuff done in Philippines. I have massive issues trying to get customs entries corrected. I wonder have An Post Contracted this out also.

FYI The T/C is 8 digits for exports from EU and 10 for imports. The Slash is obviously an issue with an optical reader or data transfer for that. Tis a real pain for sure BTW I thought I got a clean getaway with a package from FED EX last month, Came home to a letter telling me I owe then 14 notes for the vat and clearance. Customs clearance€5.00 Disbursement fee €8.23 Plus a 1.15 Vat Fee So not too much of a rip of price I had feared but never the less it cost me 6 notes extra for this delivery now. Christ the EU have done us Zero favours here on this one for sure.

"as long as the item is sent with the correct customs information there would be no issues with the item coming in" sorry but this is the senders issue, The information needed was not supplied. What are they supposed to do make up the Taric codes on import? sorry that is just not done and there is where the issue was. Daft that it cant be resolved here while IM is dealing with them though. Also for any one that has a Magazine subscription from the UK a lad has told me An post are looking to collect about a fiver for the pleasure of customs clearing these.

As I said before, Big opportunity for the Irish shops here but they are a bit stuck in a rut with stuff like this although Marks did have cobalts at one stage

Thats is really nice TBH. I'd nearly be tempted

It works for us pretty well over the last while, just a bit of Bad luck you got caught in the Strike. Don't give up bud! Could be worse and stuck in a ship in a canal somewhere
