2nd run so with new running numbers Great to chat with you at the show.

FYI: Fundraiser for Margaret Dean by Klaudia Minto : Fred Dean's family (gofundme.com)

I enjoyed the chat Saturday , Nice to see the progress and the size is very impressive. Looking forward to seeing this progress.

To Redish as Sean Says, Could of been the Leds in the Cabinet and the fact the internals were not coloured too.

True that but they are certainly 70's style now.

I thought it was way too bright. Maybe as the interior was orange too. Did not see Paddy so did anyone ask if the couplings had been improved. I suspect not.

Well Chunky Tension locks on the Diagram. Maybe thats a clue to the tooling.

Looking forward to seeing this, Something different.

"We will also have original tara mines bogies lose, sold as seen for €2 each!" I take it that these the Squeaky ones?

I've passed on this link to him so Des might pop in with a bit of luck.

Hi Lads, contacted Des on Linkedin and he said he is still up and running. dezsullivan@gmail.com.

Man Alive that is sad news for his family, A nice chap indeed. RIP Fred.

Anyone know if the coupling tension lock arrangements have been improved? notorious for uncoupling due to the Springing action

Dettol. thing is it rightly expensive and hopefully that paint is enamel. Depends on the Resin too so be careful. or: CARSON PAINT REMOVER 100ML | TAMIYA ACRYLIC PAINT | PAINTS / ADHESIVES | Catalogue | MarksModels Note Vid below is for Plastic. I used the method recently. Took Ages, Messey and parts smelt of Dettol for and age afterwards.

Have two of these cast iron Signal Spectacle holders with arms, you would not want them posted, they weight a fair bit. ]]

With the Z21 you can do this from your handset, no mucking about but fair play.

Very nice, Tempted for sure but have enough locos and wrong UK operating era for me!

The close coupling looks great.

Another nice Addition to the AS range. Thankfully I have more than enough of Baccy ones I got for a Tennor each some time back will do me and I do love them going around in a long rake.

Well that's that then. Original concept was not going to work for exhibitions being a one man band plus the cabin was too damp in the end. I had some interest in people to buy the layout but the hassle was not worth the time so all the track and gubbins were stripped. So I have invested in the installation of a 30x10ft shed which hopefully will house a permanent layout in a 20x10ft section (still wondering why though given the crazy cost of modelling these days) and an office / Modelling section in a separate partitioned 10x10ft section. All insulated inside. coming soon! I hope to re-use the base boards for a 8 x 2 ft Austrian HOe layout. Cabin has gone off to its second life as a tool shed.

Look really good. It wold be nice to see some a video of the running qualities Videos over points etc to see the couplings interact etc.?

It seemed a be Throaty-er in the Vid TBH. The Loco engine sound emiteed is a bit flat wise when compare the the other Irish sound options. However I won't be jumping to do the Mod either.

Stephen, Can I ask how come the Lighting issue went through quality check and not mentioned upon release, don't these all get signed off with a signature sheet but were not 100% correct? If there is a new release I suspect the wiring will be corrected?

Thanks, I dont remember reading about this in theMagazine Reviews and nothing was said upon release either AFAIK. appreciate the Effort, Once I get some stuff up and running again I try doing this too.
