    With you on that one. Plus no VAT on Purchases if they go out of the EU. Potential Saving there also once Revenue don't catch your stuff coming in.

    Heard from the Lads it was due to the Steam being allowed to only take 5 coaches out of Cork.They had to drop a coach for the Steam to take the train out of Cork on the Saturday. Some great sights and sounds to be had over the weekend.

    Freezer bag, Spray on in your Mr Muscle oven cleaner, paint will come off and the glazing will be ok. If the kit is built you can always use some very fine Wet n Dry down to 2000 grade and then clear coat it or cotton bud your over cleaner over it. I have not tried brake fluid but looking at the net advises it could cloud it. G

    Is it in a spray can or tin? Would Vinny not be able to Advise.

    Was there a month after the WTC was hit, Had an Airshow itinerary booked but they were all cancelled so went railway & culture instead! Booked the observation open car with no windows, When we reached the snow line things started to get a wee bit cold but a 2 massive 'buckets' of Hot Chocolate save the day. I still have the cups they take a whole kettle of water! Great spot to visit. Loved listening to the radio during my stay there were instead of Traffic watch they had 'Bear Watch' These shots bring back great memories and nice to see no yellow jackets or yellow lines in evidence.

    Now that is quite something to savour. Top class work. Are those coach side still available?

    All soldered Des. Between that and filing off the little brass tags to make them sit lever, Sweet lord the mind was nearly gone.

    Absolutely Fab Dunluce. Shows what can be done in such a smallish area. Love the details. Hopefully we will see this in Dublin in Oct?

    I managed to get a few hours from work to nip up to the Junction the other week. Thanks to a road closure I missed it coming through Tipp town here are pic or two of just north of the Junction. Near Elfin I took these couple that you may find of some viewing pleasure.

Despite modelling for years always read the instructions!! other bits not really related, a fit of my Dads Paddler, Waiting on rigging and turnbuckeles for the mast to finish and an Airfix beam engine which I hope to motorise it.
