Sold 2 in the past two weeks, Need to finish one off now soon and never want to see one again!

Hi all, This was a pressie for my Fathers 70th, 5 years ago and he is just not up to the job due to MS and poor Memory, I did not want to push him to finish it as he is just not able so after some cafeful discussion he asked would I take it on so this is the next project. It is a bit model, There is a Mark 3 on the deck for size Comparison. In order to finish this I had to splash out on the follow bits and bobs and you though Trains were expensive!, Add to that Brass wire, replacement Handrail Stanchions and a Step up Converter plus a bit of paint!

I had to strip down a good bit in order to tidy up the splodges of Resin he dropped about the model. ( I hate working with Resin but it is a must) Here are some pictures of the boat. It should looks nice when done and the smoke unit is working away and the lights working. cheers for now. George. Sorry wrong shutter speed on the camera so bit blurry Arrgh.

Good Price on the Sound chips!

Any Prices Set?

man alive that's unbelievably nice!

Are these Gauge 1'ers for some lads estate to run on his Garden Railway network? Should look the Biz.

Sound cool, they are going to be a right Sod for Photograpers. I got 17 down here, Pretty well space out and not like the Video, plus 4 shooting Stars, The 2nd pass was not visible, tomorrow night again Times for Tomorrow are here. https://www.heavens-above.com/StarlinkLaunchPasses.aspx?lat=52.1428&lng=-7.9717&loc=Unnamed&alt=0&tz=GMT

Nice on DJ, Just down the road!!

Yep! A Train but not as you know it and it is not stopping at a Station near you though, they are up in Space. 2157PM West to East. 43 unit train - apparently https://findstarlink.com/#742;3 https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2020/04/20/how-to-see-a-starlink-train-from-your-home-this-week-as-spacex-satellites-swarm-the-night-sky/#7fe2f33c26e8 Looks Like this:

Very Sad news indeed, I only knew him from the Exhibitions , It must be a hard blow to the family too losing someone that young and energetic. Sympathy to all his family and friends..RIP

There seems to be a proliferation of these kind of sites popping up everywhere, They will ship out to you but it will be a pair a shitty sunglassea or Scarf for a Dollar so they have a record of posting and your then snookered getting your money back. Facebook is the same, Be very aware.

Black 5 popping out RTR for £1000 sponds, only the cost 7 large OO locos really. Seems to be all the wrong Railway companies they produce..... https://www.ellisclarktrains.co.uk/collections/04-locos/products/darstaed-d11-16-7mm-finescale-o-gauge-stanier-class-5-4-6-0-black-5-lms-lined-45428-with-welded-tender-pre-order

Cause everyone thought later down the line you would be getting 300 notes a loco like the Lima 201 in thier Heyday but they are still @ 120-150 notes. I must admit Seamus Grahams did a good deal which tempted me where you bouught a few and got one Free, Cant remember the exact details. What I am going do with 14 + Babies is beyond me TBH. I did at the time think I was gonna concentrate on the Irish stuff as OO only as I had a good bit of N gauge UK but then the sound came out in OO and I delved into the UK stuff. Now O is calling, 009 is calling and German stuff (Harz stuff anyhow!) Gonna be much more sensible with the 121's

And they are still making a few quid no doubt out of the €110 notes. Pity there were not near that mark in the 1st place It is bad form in all fairness. I am regulary dealing with those tosspots in China to try to get PPE into Ireland, The bastards are trying to ride the situation and capitalise on the cash windfall bigtime with rises of €3.50 /kg for airfright from a quote last last week. They are really beginng to P1ss me off with thier business practices.

Yeay, just got a mail from laya syaing rebate is due for 3 months, Ryanair and Aer Lingus Refund to Due. Guess what I am gonna get!!

LOL - I cant remember how many I actually did for People Noel. I aint in that much of a need of one either.

Hi Folks, Just looking for 5 of these, seems to be out of stock everywhere, If any one has spare ones that they would like to move on let me know.

The only livery I passed on cause its the worst, of course now fetched the high prices Typical..

The Trainset @ 50 notes looks too good to be true . second hand explains that! Go get em lads.

I must admit the baby GM sound is absoluty fab stuff, Just love it!! Cracking layout too!

Do you have any IRM ballast hoppers for sale? - Nope. Noel might be shifting his apparently.

Artists use the rule or 3rds too so no surprise it was taken across to model railways too. Kinda been around a while! ne of many compositional tricks that artists use, the Rule of Thirds was first written down in 1797, when an author quotes English painter Sir Joshua Reynolds. In discussing the balance of light and dark in an artwork, Reynolds refers to the Rule of Thirds, discussing it as a more general principle of balance. It would later be transformed into the grid system we know today.
