Could do with a Tan", Preferably not a spray one though!

Humbrol matt is like that now, Its shit. throw it away and get some alclad Matt coat. you could paint a light dusting of thinnned gloss over the grey areas it may get ride of it and re do with Alclad. Poxy Paint manufacturers are doing me head in.

Rumbling along on this one, most of the work being done outside as the model is so big. Deck supports mostly in, Motor and shaft Secured, Battery and weight tray has been made, I will be able to slide batteries along this using the guides on each side. Deck and superstructure just plonked on for a test fit. Note the 071 for Size comparison

cannie see any piccy there Eamon, just sound!

That's good news. I don't understand how is it current customs requirement when rails sent a box today with 2 x 121's to me with no value on the outside. My Radio control bits from Cornwall last week Similar and over 150 notes. invoice inside the box. There is no customs requirements currently for UK - Ireland value on the boxes. Mine came though RM and An Post and same mode for Rails and Model dockyard. I understand for DJ that he needs it for where he is and it is handy for him and stuff maybe scanned optically for clearance. Hopefully this can change as I did have stuff left outside my door before for all to see. Anyway we will wait and see. I might be customs clearing my own stuff next year! Gonna be a pain in the hole. LOL!.

Mine RPSI one Arrived today . Thanks Lads Looks much better in the Flesh, In fact Superb but by god it is delicate, You can see the hours spent in getting the detailed nailed by Mr Murphy. I still don't get the attraction of the Grey livery TBH buts that just me! I Did not run it yet as I need a Decoder so probably will save running one till the IE version comes into the hand and a sound chip whacked into that. The Hand rails are certainly a bit bendy on my one and need to be straightened somehow and 2 supports detached in 2 min of light handling along with the Vacuum pipe which pinged off but was luckily found after a quick search. I am not a fan of the Packaging it comes in and I can see some bits getting snapped off it you don't do it right in a lapse of concentration, It looks Easy in the Video for Sure, The Front horns are a good candidate for the first bit to go so be warned. Just beware sticking it back in! (whoarrrrr Says Finbarr Saunders (Viz ref)) One more thing and not to do with Paddy but I am not overjoyed with the invoice being splashed on the box and the value for all to see, Packing list, fine like most shipping companies but where is the sense in this being on the outside of the box? If there an option not to have this in the inside or not on future shipments from IRM Towers? Enjoy the 121s folks. Cheers George

Nice headcode too, V for Victory!

I do confess the grey and yellow looks a whole lot better in this Video then the pictures I have seen recently. Looking forward to getting one!

This is what I meant! down the road in the lovely Royal Tunbridge Wells, once a haven of Model shops. I think around 5 back in the 80s. Mostly gone now

Sweet, I must say the kings look good in Blue, and I do confess to getting a GWR king in Easons in the 80's for a Birthday, Tender drive, Still goes too, even chipped it and badly weathered! Surprised you did not have a date with Sir Keith Park Leslie this weekend.

Railway Modeller have a review in the current Rag.

bloody hell thats lovely.

yes how can we forget , just like the Double we have way back when......

Will the Dubs be allowed into Wicklow this weekend though #pendinglockdown..

Sounds promising then, On Twiiter mentions he is a Ipswich follower so must be a tie in there somewhere!

Nice one, looks Like you guys are ploughing a serious furrow these days! A chap from the North east though, Does not bode well for SR followers but lets hope the spell in Margate has rubbed off a wee bit. You could be the Accurascale histroian Dave Cataloging their every move,. On the plus side there is a opening in the big H for you!

Forgot I took some moving pictures about a month back from the hill just to the left side of the tunnel. Warning: This video contains no orange trains. Merchant Navy, Class 24, Schools and Black 5 in that order. MVI_5593.MOV

124 are fairly cheap too! https://www.modelsvit-eshop.com/c/aviation-1/antonov-an-124-ruslan-26

Its sounds a wee bit Daft then flying them into Dublin and then off to blighty, Surely extra cost added, ah well. Was looking forward to a Video tomorrow am!

Seen this popping up earlier, interesting challenge for some great mind! https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/news/3d-printed-irish-monorail-kit-from-newman-miniatures

They should be cleared at this stage. flight is up with revenue all ready ::) 2 mins to do the entry... Collection later, some lucky lad might even get to play with one later tonight!

Yep I don't understand the popularity either too but perhaps carpet layouts are more normal than we thought! Jenny Kirk is at it too.A snip at 26 minutes unboxing a Duchess. At least her layout is daycent. The Selling or the Merchandise TAT bugs me too, the world has enough of crap as it is. Only 3.33 for a sticker. from Jenny...

"and stop tying poor animals to the tracks at the top of the Glanmire tunnel!." Is this actually happening, Never heard of it.

Hi Robert, is it the smaller ones your are looking for or is it the Large Logo's? I have a few spare of both. All Waterslide. George

I might have some in my Transfer/ Decal box Robert. I'll take a look there now and take some pics and post them up. George
