Order gone into the LMS for the Early Crest MN, Glad I did not bite when they fist came out, This will be a quality runner!
I'd love the Rocket park with the Mail coach but have the yellow one from last year ,does Des do a number set for it wonder?
Some lovely Stuff coming out, That Rocket pack and yeeeess a Diecast Merchant Navy in the Doublo packing, sweet.
4 and 6W Coaches to lads!
125 in Midland Pullman Livery too.
Peco do a snap shot here. RMWEB has loads of Separate threads clogging up the forum TBH.
any one in the know can inform me where you can get Motorised Class 20 chassis at a Reasonable cost these days. There used to be loads on the Ebay but none nowadays
Need about 4
Cracking Build.
Those wheels look Waaaaaay to big for the little Boiler though. I must of been a goer on the rails.
I wonder why the boiler was not extended to make use of the space between the Smoke box and buffer beam area.
It would certainly be nice on a Small Layout but the time element of building multiple points etc would kill me.
I used to wonder in my youth when fellas at the RC club would head home on a perfect day for family'sy duties, Now I know! For me it is just not Possible given time constraints.
Yea Looks a bit Sh1t Still tbh, I should of just done a large around the walls type layout instead of this Exhibition type one as I will need a van to move this anywhere and I don't have one. Might Rethink what I am doing and leave that area with the houses as is for now and flip the back scene boards to the opposite side. Well see. Also the price of all the scenery bits n bods is a bit daft too!
Finally have this 80 class running, The wheels on the coaches are not suitable for my code 75 as the flanges are too big but it runs. I can only run it on the inside as the bogie frames on the motor coach rub on my 3rd rail.

The 2 Supers arrived at work yesterday from Rails. all bits intact, Set complete now. Delighted and a nicely timed bonus from work squared the Visa away, Fresh start for 2021.
Superb Model in all fairness. Fair play to Murphy models for the Royal Flush of American Diesels.
Ah the MIR 141 kit, The first thing to get me into the now black hole of Irish Modelling. I made a nice ol job of that kit but in the end one of the cats knocked it off the shelf it was on and it damaged it, In a rage I slammed the rest of it into the floor. Only the roof exhaust panel still survives.
Strange for sure, all mine from Rails have arrived and there is one more package only left yesterday so I will get that next week all going well into the loco PO.
Now need to get into Marks for 2 sound chips so I can have a play xmas day.
I got my First Rails order yesterday,
5 in fact 3 had damage to handrails, 1 set snapped off completely. BNT and IR's
My Double order of the IE's Came in and mostly ok except the bonnet etch had come off one loco but was easily and carefully put in place.
Just the supers left now to come to the PO. looking forward to seeing those.
Heritage Example of Kilkenny, This is how Heritage gets treated here, Why the old roof platform could not be used in the development of the Station is beyond me. Now people have no cover on the platform

and After
new station with melted roof.
