    These large tokens seem to Tarnish, rust easily enough, I have 2 from the Youghal line, Is it worth buffing them up a bit to make them a bit more presentable?

    Nice or what!!. Is the Track to scale though underneath?

    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?

    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

    Hello Ranger, Sorry but all these are now gone to new homes. tks George
  13. Georgeconna
    Yes, A nice Showpiece Blue A4 would be very tempting for sure along with a great price!
  14. Georgeconna
    Cracking Box Art. Worth a frame too. Love Mk.1's on the cover, Surprise Mk.2's inside.

    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.

    Half Expecting the drivers window to slide shut when the train sounds the whistle.

    all you need is the wirring sound of a cine camera. reminds me of the West Cork Railway DVD. Lovely.
  18. Georgeconna
    Thats nice Noel, I imagine those kinda 3D things will come out fully coloured to at some stage!!

    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!
  20. Georgeconna
    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.

    damn no Mandy either, I'll have think of another present for her for xmas then...

    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.

    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.

    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.
