ah these Wagons were loverly in the flesh on Sunday, Hattons have Class 33 with a Fab price at the moment. STG 66 WOW! https://www.hattons.co.uk/StockDetail.aspx?SID=62755

Had a nice day out on Sunday. Enjoyed meeting the usual Suspects and and wow that Tara wagon is so nice. Delighted too that I got some nice Bargains from a few traders during the day. Best Layout for me was an N Gauge one from the lads up north. Ardrath I think was the name of it. nicely executed, not too much clutter and always trains running. I also wonder why Exhibit unfinished layouts, the large German one and O gauge were on going projects. No Steam on the Wexford O gauge one Delighted to see the Tea and sandwiches on sale again, Very welcome!

Just heard the Marathon will be on this Sunday which mean the city centre will be a no go area between certain times. Pain in the ar$e that now as I normally trundle down the Quays then to Clontarf and up to the school in the AM.

Easy: Tis a 3D Figure Rendition of Fran and Patrick that you can paint yourself and stick in the cabs of the locos. 2 per pack but buy 3 packs get one for €0.50.

PM Sent There Dave.

FYI I used Humbrol 164 Satin dark sea Grey, Satin paint goes on a bit nicer too. If you are repainting an orange one I would suggest removing all the Printed Markings off as the outline will show through repaint.

You have to wonder if a SMT Part goes bang on one of these yokes It must be a nightmare to locate. I Saw the Layout in Camden while impressive with all the Leccy Gizmos, to a Novice the electronics set up look a bit over engineered! It is meant to have some Green on it for the Dublin Show at the end of the Month so looking forward to seeing it again.

I was going to head out to Watch this coming through Cork and back from Cobh but I looking at the weather forecast I will leave this to more Hardly Photographers and enjoy their pictures instead and do some circuits of the Isle of Man TT course on PS4 in the Warmth of me gaf.

Whip out the wheel Sets and clean the Axles too, I did mine last week and there was a good bit of old oil and dirt there which contributed to poor running and re set the wheels using a Wheel Gauge. Kinda ok on a medium speed but pretty poor at slow speeds all this was on code 75.

So picturesque with the fence. There must of been 100's of bodies found in the pit over the years after falling in.

Sound if pretty sweet for sure. did you try the Magnet under the Track at all?

Get a decent pin vice and the best Drill bits outs there, Skip on the drill bits and expect the worst. Eileen emporium sell these separately. as opposed to the crappy multi drill bits in the plastic box you get in some shops.

The 201s will bounce back once there off the shelves, Sure is an ugly looo though plus the fact the it hauled mostly Looooooooong Trains. Money also is thin on the ground with some fab stuff coming out these days with new Irish an UK outline stuff bursting at the seams.

Sorted So. The cost of an Extra €50.00 is a bit heavy so I will stick with the Switch. much simpler to.

Dublin Bus Orange Lining, Usually made by Cherry Paints. Was gonna go to the All Ireland camoige with the Gals but cant make it this weekend, would of been handy. If you could get a number / email off the guy I would appreciate it.

Mixed me own in end

Fat Controller is redundant and now replaced by a Woman so yep it is being bent towards being PC. Let hope she is up to the Job. Sorry bout the Daily Mail, 1st link that came up. I'll use the Guardian the next time I am sure there much more balanced. No wonder Hornby dropped the range. I can see loads of these sitting around the place. As you say its all about the money, money, money.

IRM Or Murphys banging this one out, Love the chimney lads. More PC Malarkey... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6120347/Inclusive-gender-balanced-multicultural-characters-steam-Thomas-Tank-Engine-revamp.html

Flanker Was dissapointing though. glad I did not travel given the weather and lack of Su-22 and Mig-29's

been in finishing these off since god knows when,had to have some time away from the kids so out to the shed. Italeria F-14 is in Iranian colours, they are still flying about these days. The Spitfire is a Mk.Vb based in Tunisia in 1943, Tis 1/24 scale so bit big!

8 years ago!! flipping heck time is whipping by. Seemed like only 2 or so.

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?
