Think the 80's will be the period here. Probably get a steamer at some stage. I hope to do OHLE and run Electrics, Diesel and Steam for interest. I will have an engine shed but normally the through stations did not have one but hey ho!

Quick cobble of the proposed track plan. These stations tended to have loops rather than sidings. The main line being the middle track and people had to cross the track nearest the station to get on the train! The layout is 6x3ft so the extra foot gives the scene a little bit more breathing space and less clustered. 8 Only been to Austria once and thT was to see jets. They had some lovely lines for sure some survived until recent times before lifted. The OBB stuff is full of character! Feel free to chip in with ant observations please JHB. Just going off of books and YouTube.

wrong section

I decided not to use the MDF baseboard as it was not long enough and it would be difficult installing point motors under neath so went open plan and the track bed will be raised about 3 inches off the top of the base board frame. I used the legs from the MDF board.

Ops area of the shed nearly done. Last coat of paint tonight...hopefully back modelling next week after a years break.

they will come out again. Ain't gonna sit on a tool for ages and not produce anything. Happening frequently now. Got caught with the GT3 and its 1st production errors that were corrected on the 2nd run so the 1st batch is now very much reduced in value. If an A Class new batch is released most likely will have the lighting correct. APT-E re released. GNR Single Re Released. I can go on. nothing is limited anymore, just the box and running number.

Hopefully I might run up as usual for a day out. Mind you I thought this was a Cultra show at 1st glance when I seen the Maebh in the pic!

If they sold out the run and the decorations are researched why not. No invoice here either, Mind you the Gear box in the car has gone so not great timing.

Do Rails subtract the UK VAT and then An Post charges the EU VAT plus their handling fee? >>> This is the way.

Well wear Gibbo. Grew up being enthralled by the APT in the 80's, Pragmatism prevents me from buying...probably regret this like the one when rails where sell complete HST set for rock bottom prices..

Hi folks Started a HOe Layout, freelance with actual Austrian buildings. Will be a bit of the Mariazellerbahm and Ybbstahlbahn. I know next to nothing about these railways so doing wee bit of research. At the moment gathering stock (ain't ceap) and I have the track plan more or less sorted. Dims are 5x4ft but could do with a few extra inches... Waiting for a few more points and some 6mm ply as the track will be raised up and not flat earth syndrome. The Station building I am working on is from Igra Models and is of the now closed Ybbsitz Railway Station, A laser cut kit. Lots of good vids on you tube:

In Rails, A year ago I would of nuked that button and bought one. Now not bovvered but some discount nevertheless. Hornby OO Gauge Class 370 APT-P BARGAINS – Rails of Sheffield

you'd would be well pissed off after forking out full dosh for one.

I would be interested in these Martin. Can collect Saturday it that suits?

I now try Marks 1st , If they dont have it it get my last purchases from Modelbahn union and Modelbahn Shope Lippe. Great service, Modelbahn union even gives you an option to chose Free stuff and depending on you order amount the gifts get better! modellbahnshop-lippe.com Modellbahn Union - Ihr Modelleisenbahn Onlineshop Kinda Done with the UK now. (Maybe order the EFE T3 though)

Still Cheap for an Entry but extra cost not welcomed, I find myself dipping into European model shops nowadays.

Thanks Dave, I am more than covered with coaches at this stage and have a few of those.

WTH the lad is in the North...

Bummer did not know that but not up that way too much.

I would expect the Steam outline stuff to be slightly compromised too as a wide body over narrow wheels will look kinda daft.

Can you get a etched saw and cut them off a and reposition them if it bothers you. I expected the case it was to match the 10000's of UK outline stuff that had been released over the years masquerading as Oirish.

Got mine today, yeah from China too!, pity a layout was not delivered as well LOL! , Love to have a shunt with them!

I had that too back in the 80's! Class stuff.

Must of left the EU at some stage on its Journey. The EU's new advance cargo information system ICS2 supports implementation of this new customs safety and security regulatory regime aimed to better protect single market and EU citizens. It will collect data about all goods entering the EU prior to their arrival. Economic Operators (EOs) will have to declare safety and security data to ICS2, through the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS). The obligation to start filing such declarations will not be the same for all EOs. It will depend on the type of services that they provide in the international movement of goods and is linked to the three release dates of ICS2 (15 March 2021, 1 March 2023, and 3 June 2024).

Lovely work Darius.
