Hi lads, this was my grandfather's SER lamp. Had it since he 1st joined, stamped 1938 It's taking a a few knocks and I don't have the skils to repair it. Any ony know of a person on Ireland that does repairs to these things? I need the handle the band to hold the lens in and the back of the oil Bath to be reattached.

Or just drop me a line...

Happy New Year Folks. Hope 2026 is a good one.

Hi Folks, got these but they don't suit HOe so looking to move these on so never used. 2 x 40292 uncouple unit "Universal underfloor decoupler suitable for retrofitting for all two-conductor DC track systems" Easy install. 1 X 10522 Switch unit to go with the uncouple unit "Single button for decoupling tracks. This unit is suitable wherever power needs to be supplied for a short time. The individual buttons are electrically separated and can thus operate different circuits" Looking for €50 posted.

Wonderful Action Noel. Just subscribed there too!

Looking forward to seeing the whole loop in action, should be immense and it is a joy to see something totally different! Keep up the good work and all the best for 2026

Why would they drag it on themselves if the low IQ are carrying on like that I expect the lad will get a string of abuse. Just shows the standards that people uphold themselves to these days. Give me the car anyday. Went from Birmingham to Telford the other week, Bought tickets, Conductor came on, checked ours, all ok. Asked this other passenger from another continent for a ticket and my god the Conductor could not get through to the dude and eventually walked off with no ticket produced. Next time I will do the same.

Cripes the darker green GS might have won me over despite the double chimney, Just lovely. curious to know what the little yellow items are on the tender sides? tarp ties downs? Lifting Lugs?

Minute long Vid of the steamer in action Finally installed the Plux16 in and it works so the dud Sound decoder is going back to the vendor who will kindly sort it out for me.

I'll be sitting in the dark a lot, there is coach lightning needed now

Phew, beginning to get the DT's as it is Slack week for announcements all around.....:)

Yes Charcoal or Rubber black is a less stark colour, Good choice.

Finally got the Guest house wired and roofed and looks nice and finishes the setting. This was laser cut card and wood from Igra models. Excellent kit and quality.

That laser cut stone has come out remarkably well.

Yeah got some flock and tbf is grand, some course I won't use though.

Some days for exploring back then.no Google to help you. Love to be able to taste some of those times. So. Good stuff of YouTube of 1970 Austrian NG to digest.

Messing about some more with the Retro vibe. Some Freight movements and some ECS getting ready for the weekends pilgrims.

I have a "ick" as the cool kids say about engines with double chimneys tbh. Love a Maebh but they are all two holers. Probably be a Tailte I would opt for in light green as it got a snail on the tender too. love to see these in the flesh painted up as I am sure a decision would be a lot easier.

Thanks for the kind words Tony, Really appreciated. I am really happy the way its turning out tbh. Baulking at the cost though for such a small landscape! The Cobbles are simply embosses card from Noch, Marks models have a selection of different options and they are really nice. I will matt these down though as they are a bit too shiney. Embossed Cardboard Walls | Model walls | NOCH The sheets I used are: Noch 56721 all the best! G

Got some more lights in the station building last night and took a trip back in time with some clever APPs.

Airfix 1/48 Hurricane completed . Oct 7th 1940, Battle of Britain was nearing its climate, Pilot Officer Ken McKenzie (born in Belfast) of 501 Sqn, after expending all his ammo, he used his wingtip to knock the tail plane of a Me.109 causing it to crash into the sea. The RAF pilot made a forced landing near Dover. McKenzie eventually shot down 13 German Aircraft and was shot down in 1941, pretending to be mad was repatriated to England in 3 years later he died on 200 aged 92. Awarded the DFC he was a true hero.

I cant unsee those wincy front buffers....
