Hey kid, Long time no hear, Looking good there ol stock. Have a bundle of these to make as well

Doubt these will come in Malachite then Looks fab, I will look forward to next lot hopefully something for me there Gonna check RMWEB now to see the fallout. Did BRM to drop the ball on this one then of was it part of the Promo

Did you not see the CAD images?

Is that Dublin speak for being Raped Financially?

I have a DCC lord Nelson Split chassis, Works like a dream. No issue with them. Easy enough to DCC to.

Tks Eoin, I dont need any more plastic kits, Have 100's of em. need to thin some stuff out a bit or get a Mansion!

Well last Friday a big box arrived from Ellis Clark Trains. Inside my pet Terrier 2644 in Southern livery I was looking for this one for ages. All excited to unwrap it there and then but left it to Saturday as I was knackered. Come Saturday a little bit of Track was laid along , about 10ft long with a point for a siding and connected up to the DCC System. Well I never!!. The chip was a sound one so for the nice sum of £165 I cobbled a normally £350-410 model and what a beauty, Running qualities are only Exquisite, the sound is Fab, Just could sit back and listen to it pop and hiss all day long. The track looks the dogs too not like the OO stuff. Now to get a few Wagons for a bit of shunting. A beautiful scale to enjoy and handle!. I'm smitten.....Bargain of the year! Cheers G

Ta m8, could do with a reccie as I could do with pawning off some stuff myself. Loads of Plastic that I need to lighten the loft along with other bits n bobs. pity its south side, could get in some Plane spotting afters if it were nearby by.

Is the Stillorgan one worth going to, the last one I went to (some years ago) had quite a bit of overpriced stuff no one wants. tis a Long trip from Town.

Look up 14XX then as that is the class of Loco. Swap over the bodies. https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_odkw=titfield+thunderbolt&_sop=12&_osacat=1&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.XHornby+14xx.TRS0&_nkw=Hornby+14xx&_sacat=1

Why don't you just get a a replacement Motor for the Titfield 14XX. works out a bit cheaper http://www.ebay.ie/itm/X8057-Hornby-Spare-Motor-for-Class-14xx-0-4-2/141647233666?hash=item20fad54282:g:xS8AAOSwDk5T90n~

That WWII Saving Private Ryan dio is unreal and the chap that built it knows everything about the equipment on show and makes for a very interesting chat if you are interested in Armour.

I concur , the new Graham Farish stuff is unreal, I have a class 37 and wow does that crawl, Dapol class 73, Hymek, Q1, Terrier and Ivatt Tank, All Beauty's.

LOL, just started my one!. Just bought me a Southern Railway O Gauge Terrier with Zimo Unlimited Software MX644 decoder for £165 a few minutes ago. Sweet! now for a few kits to make. Now if Hattons make a Battle of Britain Loco for £750 I'm sorted!!

Heres a couple more, Great scale to model, Miss this little Layout, It was turned into a Window exhibition cover with snow and now is in good hands and being renovated I believe. Heres a few more:

Been there done that M8 Still have my N gauge Stuff as the quality was Excellent. It was the sound that drew me into OO plus he availability of a lot my different locos.

Yes the OO0 stuff is awesome, Waiting for Heljan to re boot the L&B locos now.

It is certainly a nice loco, I was very tempted to get one when they arrived into Marks Models but it operated way too north for me unfortunately.

N would be class given the length of Irish Rail Trains these recently. no brainer. Not many have space for a full rake of Mk.3 and a 201 @Noel, Dreams can come true Noel, Dapol has brought the costs down on the locos considerably. The Rolling stock prices give me the shudders though.

Quick replacement of the receiver and Servo and your off, I would expect they had a spare or 2 ready. Probably planned to have a dunk in the drink to draw in the viewers. I Never believe anything you see on TV these days. all construed.

Episode on 4OD website now if you missed it, Watch 30 mins of it last night before the cold I have forced me to bed. Looked ok.

"level of scale finesse may not be good enough" >> Really Noe?l, I doubt this is hardly the case. Have you taken a look at some of their latest Offerings?. I can only vouch for what I have bought which is mostly SR related and I can say I am astounded when you view the details on some of these models now from Hornby. The Original condition MN are a Fantastic model. The S15 is sublime, Fast Becoming a Favourite of mine with excellent running from taking it out of the box and onto the track, the Cab interior detail is excellent to look at. The H Class is a beauty, similarly their class 71 is a nice model too. The SR Maunsell Coaches, Gresley's, Pullmans are Fab runners (no wobbly coaches or fuzzy demarcation between colours) and excellent fine Details. While there undeniably are some dogs from earlier years I do think they have finesse with there current High level offerings which match the 071, 201s easily. Maybe take another look when you next passing a model shop

Well no Little SECR Tank engines this time but a nice Blue MN, an up to date Lord Nelson (my old ones are split Chassis and DCC and run quite well so what to do with them!!) Some nice SR coaches from Baccy and Hornby so the only compliant I have is that it will be an expensive year if I chose to part with my cash. Having said that I think I really have enough Loco in my Stable at present not to warrant adding even more.

Fab quality for 1989 GNRI, Just shows a good picture stand up well. What were you shooting on Medium Format?

Yeah Dave Megapoints Contoller with Bounce , Operated by Servos. you could motorise the SSM signals easily enough with that system
