  1. Nice or what!!. Is the Track to scale though underneath?
  2. It does look better in the 2nd shot. I think I'll wait till I see a review here when someone gets there mits on one before I part with the Hard Earned. Looking forward to seeing what you lads have to say. Maybe it is the all over grey makes it look rather plain. A green pne like Noel Mentioned would be easier on the eye. Did you get a Merchant Navy Leslie?
  3. Just got an invoice for this.. €360.00 odd it looks to be. I might get killed for this but TBH it looks a bit Clunky, The Tender , Bolier area looks a bit rough and those springs on the tender just seem blobby and lack Finesse. Maybe it is a test sample. Mmm, I might plum for a H Class Push Pull set instead and wait for Accruascale to bang out one along with the 800. Just not sure now.. G
  4. No Malachite Green option though . Later Edition I imagine..
  5. Cricky 250 ain't bad for a sound equipped bells and Horns. No Moving axles box covers !!
  6. Hello Ranger, Sorry but all these are now gone to new homes. tks George
  7. Cracking Box Art. Worth a frame too. Love Mk.1's on the cover, Surprise Mk.2's inside.
  8. Will there be a 1968 version of A16 in Luggage Van disguise in the not too distant future. Twould save few lads tooling up a conversion set and would sit nicely with the J15 due.
  9. Half Expecting the drivers window to slide shut when the train sounds the whistle.
  10. all you need is the wirring sound of a cine camera. reminds me of the West Cork Railway DVD. Lovely.
  11. Thats nice Noel, I imagine those kinda 3D things will come out fully coloured to at some stage!!
  12. Thanks IRM for the info. Tired to get to the Museum twice, 1st time the missus ending up getting food poisoning and the 2nd time I ended up in hospital with a nose bleed from hell! 2 years time then!
  13. I looks a bit smaller than the previous one I saw. I think there is a mish mash of everything from US, Continental,Irish even a Chinese Loco if I am not mistaken there!. He has way to much stuff then don't we all it seems.

  15. damn no Mandy either, I'll have think of another present for her for xmas then...
  16. Looks good. I think I will skip the Dublin show Next year and try this instead as I have never been to the Museum yet either.
  17. Luckily I needed a few bob a few months back, After much deliberation I flogged off the 2 RTR ones I had and 2 bodies. Normally it does not work that way for me! Re the one Wind Screen, Que the loads of emails to IRM towers saying one wiper is missing off my Loco! there were loads of questions re the lights on the Black and Tan 141 with fellas coming in to the shop and saying only one light is working.
  18. Got to see these wagons in the Flesh last weekend and wow they looked superb. My finger hovering over the buy button at the moment. The Kids Braces may have to wait a small bit longer I reckon. The UK Wagons on show to were immense in every way too. The Etched steps on the PCA Cement Wagon were superb, As I mentioned to the Lads I should of Married a Chinese lady given their ability to produce models in such as fashion when compared to my efforts! It must be a fantastic feeling for all involved in IRM to achieve such excellent products in such a short time, Well Done.
  19. Ah I see some Steamers on show!. All I I saw was a Solo Class 15 and a 37 bombing around. TBH it did not hold my interest too long. However the layout should be some set up when it is complete. Some nice LNER pacific's Clattering down the P/way I hope at some stage would be sweet. The Control Panel is some set up too.
  20. Wow some buns there!. Looking forward to the Easter Excursion already! MMMMMmmm
  21. Oops. Seems I did not have my Glasses on when I posted that but it is a Class 26 in Green they have not a 33. 2nd time I nearly bought a 26 instead of a 33. They have no 33's in that sale.
  22. ah these Wagons were loverly in the flesh on Sunday, Hattons have Class 33 with a Fab price at the moment. STG 66 WOW! https://www.hattons.co.uk/StockDetail.aspx?SID=62755
  23. Had a nice day out on Sunday. Enjoyed meeting the usual Suspects and and wow that Tara wagon is so nice. Delighted too that I got some nice Bargains from a few traders during the day. Best Layout for me was an N Gauge one from the lads up north. Ardrath I think was the name of it. nicely executed, not too much clutter and always trains running. I also wonder why Exhibit unfinished layouts, the large German one and O gauge were on going projects. No Steam on the Wexford O gauge one Delighted to see the Tea and sandwiches on sale again, Very welcome!
  24. Just heard the Marathon will be on this Sunday which mean the city centre will be a no go area between certain times. Pain in the ar$e that now as I normally trundle down the Quays then to Clontarf and up to the school in the AM.
