  1. Crossed wires there JHB, Not on about the Loco, the Chap himself Powers back on post lightning storm, Holland Afrika line back on Main line duties with black 5 on Freight!
  2. Where did A4 Mallard go to in the end? He had some impressively quite large collection!
  3. Nuvver one for sale, one of the Nicer Liveries IMHO. https://www.ebay.ie/itm/233631919808
  4. Just read that now, It Certianly is a very nice layout with the Character of Courtmac shinging through along with nice Stock. Thanks for Flagging it up. The Brown stone walling Struck me as being slightly off. That colour stone is just not down here.
  5. Massive Pics there!
  6. I actually ran mine last night, First time I embarrassingly ran anything from the IRM Stable but could not resist getting these out. The 8 wagons make some long train. Being used to the little UK wagons from the 50-60's it took some getting used too! Bit Squeaky but other wise pretty class stuff!
  7. Nice parcel this am sitting on my Desk! Hooray!
  8. I must look more into this line, I can see the attraction of American outline when you see the scenes depicted.
  9. Wow, Those buildings a fab, If it was here they would of been Vandalised and probably set on fire.
  10. Big bump up there with nearly a Ton Jump in Price in one go...mmmmm. On the other end of the scale I had a 1.48 Morris Van, sold on ebay today, Worth about a £10 on the shop shelf, Sold for €1.00 and the guy canceled it over €0.50 postage. He Tells me post should be €5.50. PFO I told him. I'll leave the kid play with it.
  11. Oooh Popeye, The big 50 is coming soon so tempted with one of these. No U boats I'm Afraid. thats be done: https://www.hobbies.co.uk/model-boats/radio-control-model-boats/caldercraft-schaarhorn-model-boat-kit http://www.mountfleetmodels.co.uk/sir-lancelot.html http://www.mountfleetmodels.co.uk/admiralty-coaster-c642.html
  12. Ahoy there Maties. Well I did not get it finished for me Dads 75th but Father Day turned out to be reasonably nice so a meet up was arranged at Knockananig Reservoir near Fermoy, The reservoir used to supply the water for the town. Its a lovely wooded location but frighteningly deep water, Possibly 150ft deep. If we lost a boat it was gone for good. Anyhow the Puffer was ballasted out and good god she was heavy but ready for her maiden voyage. Snag though two wires pulled out of the converter which meant the smoke unit was not operational and I had no screw driver to fix and could not remember anyhow which wire as Live as they were brown and green. I got my Talacre ready too and she had her 2nd proper voyage this time in heavy seas due to the wind whipping up the water from time to time. Passers by were pretty amazed at the the 2 boats doing there thing especially the kids as some got to have a go at the controls. Anyhow the boat and a book of Parahandys Full stories and a packet of peppermints was handed over for fathers day and I got to spend a lovely hour with me Dad. Turned out it was a dicky switch that caused the lack of power to the lights too which is a pity , next time, maybe dusk sail. Heres some pics.
  13. Maybe a Silly question but why lay all the NG Track only to take it up again and relay the larger Track at a later stage, Seems like a lot of extra work?
  14. I feel your pain main, I find that it is 2 steps forward one step back, Paint these days is a disaster for me!
  15. There has to be something fishy about this, There really is. Some Jumps in bid Prices and not even near the End date with 6 days left.
  16. I soldered the DCC droppers to the fishplates and used some very thin brass wire to bridge the 2 rails. Looks a tad heavy there Noel but will Stand up well I'd say.
  17. That Came out very well noel, With all that Grey you expect a few 16 inch guns to be poking out too!
  18. That poor ol bus used to be in great nick, Amazing how these are left to go to pot.
  19. Good Job so , Sweating in the storage stash looking at the bits n bobs and Missing 3 of those babies 5202 5152 5214
  20. Cool couple of these not on my stock list so hot dog! I might visit the loft to make sure...
  21. You see plenty of Polls surveys for model of the year and Wish list etc but looking at the volume of people actually voting it seem to only capture a small section of People. TBH I did not even see a Survey on this but you could add me to the list for the Red ones if it ever happens! Would of been nice for the B&T stuff too. Maybe later as you say but I would imagine these would move along quite nicely TBH, all the Dapol grey 4W Stuff went and they were on UK products so if you have a good outlet to move em on surely these would sell away. (Easy to say when its not my money though) Now a nice Bandon Tank Train pack with suitable stock would be very nice
  22. Certainly good prices when compared to the original asking prices when they came out. Coaches 10 notes less when they came out. Are these coaches the ones with the fuzzy Black- Orange Demarcation as I did not buy some of these when they first came out for that particular reason? Cheers George
