Save our pennies is the Hardest bit with all the stuff coming out. Bullied Diesel last month , Stirling single due today, Manusell Restaurant due shortly so no hurry for 121s at the mo!! Still would love a H class, B4 tank, USA Tank ,new Nelson too and a couple SR Cattle wagons!

Surprised to See the recently Painted 141 needed a bit of TLC already.

Special Show Prices now doubt?

yes the 26th. ,Me poor Mind is melted from work this week....:/

Love to Gerry, I have about 15 ft of track and a set of point where I shunt up n down!! the Little Terrier is sound too so makes it special!! Yere set up is unreal !!

era there will be a bit if dirt in it yet Richie, the Varnish was still cooking off there at the time of the pics so I will do that in 2 weeks time all going well.

Hi M8s, Struggling away with the modelling Lark. The good Weather does not help but on the plus side great for Paint Drying but kids and work have me bushed. Treated myself to this O kit and it turned out pretty ok. I wonder did O gauge get its name from people saying "Oh thats expensive!!" .Some errors were made by me in the rush to make my little train like one side actually being glued upside down FFS. Slight Preshading with white variations on the planks to get a subtle difference int he Texture. the Decals went on Sweet and were included not like the OO gauge model I recently built. A Dapol OO Brake van and N gauge Siphon are pictured for size comparison. Anyway here's some picture of my Little Big Train. Of course it is SR!! Hope Dapol bring out some other little SR Tanks, A little P class would be nice as the roxly Kit itself is pretty Expensive when you add in the Extras! http://www.roxeymouldings.co.uk/product/305/7l10-secr-p-class-0-6-0t/.

yey, Orange 071 just pass the window and now a smoking 201 and cravens has just passed by - As it started to Drizzle

Hi lads, Saw this coming into town yesterday at lunchtime, I believe it is heading to Cobh in 30 mins or so, Does anyone have a time for when it departing from Cobh today. Hoping to sneak to the back of the office building to get a shot as she comes into Fota. Edit Got a reply on the book of faces EX Cobh: 10.15am Cravens and 10.20 light engine 201 Class back to Cork

Oh no!! >> 30 + Wagon cement trains from Cliffe, near Gravesend in Kent<< SR 1961 These look so sweet! 7 packs though, Hopefully my First Accurascale models UK outline but my 33 is tasked on a 4-TC set! Deilmma. ,

How long before IR H&S say the Bridge will be too Dangerous to use for Pedestrians and will close the thing to Greenway anyway. As above Derailed Said, useless timetable leaving at pointless times, No Sunday service so who is gonna use this to travel to Wexford over the weekend. Stoke of a Pen to Close but Millions to restore should it need to be re installed at some stage. I remember the ol Fella telling me that they would see the Train Pulling Away from the Harbour Railway station as the boat was minutes from Rosslare. That was years back. Building a new Station away from the Ferry Terminal does not help matters either. Crazy Decision.

Lengthy!! Try ICK92 Review on utube of the Rails Dynamometer Coach. 19 Minutes before the coach even gets out of the box.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNm_8BgDn1I

There's light years between the Chinese and UK stuff that was built years ago. Times have moved on no matter where it built standards would have improved. But I do have stuff that still runs and runs well from the 70'80s that has no tiny bits to break off them!!. Even if it is a few laps and then a quick pick up to smell the slight burning odour off the motor. Loverly

No Railtour on the Horizon to wake the end of the line at all? "Well its a reflection of economic progress, thankfully we are no longer a poor country and most of our citizens can afford to travel by their own means on roads and motorways" For how long??, Nearly 70 notes to tank up the focus this weather. Mind you probably wont be able to afford a ticket on Irish Rail either. Looks Like I have to Oil the bike chain...:/

Sad news indeed. Had the pleasure of working with Jim for 3 years or so. Always of Help and to any any questions that I could not, Handy for Fixing the Wierdest of Locos from bygone days. But by god be short a few bob in the till and you had to explain!! RIP Jim.

I'm not surprised about the order quantity, €350 is a large spend on a non DCC ready, Non Sound Equipped Loco. There so much Irish RTR this year coming out people are spending their cash on the Wagons etc. I ordered one loco myself as it does look pretty nice.

Ah I do love a puzzle to do on the platform I noticed a shed in Thurles has had similar Metal work applied.

Had a reply from this address in Feb this year jimpoots@googlemail.com Cheers George

I believe the MPV was out n about on Cork last week, Did not hear or see it from the office despite keeping a lookout for it.

Hi lads, This is one is on this weekend, Modelling demos etc. Not just Soldiers, Tanks, Aircraft, Cars, ships etc. Tis worth a trip over IMHO.

Cracking Box Art. Very Atmospheric.

Nice once Paul on the Transfers tip. Must check them out. Could not follow the Fox Transfers site at all , Very confusing but good decals. Might try some Cambrian kits next especially the Trouts and 'Borail' wagons which would look cool with a load of rails on them http://cambrianmodels.co.uk/srwagons.html

Hi Noel, Thanks for the comment, The A-10 is foam, Has two 550mm fans in it, Bit underpowered tbh, Has retractable U/C which is poorly designed so I usually belly land it. Great sound and I installed Nav Lights so looks even cooler at dusk.
