Have this one on the go right now. Nice Pressie for the Birthday from the father. Hope to have a smoke Genny installed once I figure out the wiring as I need to have it the fan wired to the throttle to produce smoke once the throttle is raised. Every thing is placed right not and not glues expect for the wooden bow plate.

Should be DCC'd and Head lights as well. Mark is tumbling headlong into O gauge hence the sale!

Look at Youghal!!, Every Saturday I drive past that place imagining the droning of 141, 121s on the turntable and the hussle an bussle of the Holiday traffic. so sad to see it as it is now. I would be happy to see a unit going down there just to see the line back in action but it will never be the same.Most likely the old station building would remain fenced off cause the cracks all over it and a bus shelter put up.

RR, Try a 1 - 2mm Washer between the Bogie and the Frame, I find it Improves the running. The brass ones supplied enables the bogie to catch the side frames. Nice work too. I would have me fingers stuck together no doubt.

Paudie, Can you bring the T/penny one down to Camden, Might be interested in that bud.

Planes, Trains, RC Boat Pond. Plastic Kits, Diecast, Reenactors and Enactoresses and traders. Great day last year, piccys here: http://irishscalemodeller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2818 Much more than a model show. Come see the Secret Passages etc. http://www.camdenfortmeagher.ie/

CIE gave me rates for containers to Cork back in the 2000's, These would arrive Dublin port and be transported by rail to Cork. I was all excited till I saw the Rates. Completely out of kilter and not competitive with road. Container trains to Cork pointless as we have feeder Vessels into Cork from Rotterdam that the Truckers collect and deliver around the Munster area. There would be no point in Railing these from Dublin to Cork as it would mean extra time and cost. Why don't you get your containers to come into Cork Port and not Dublin? It would be great if this did happen as I have a Fab view over the Marina from the office but as it was said earlier on it most likely is all PR Spin.

check out the F-22 At IAT , Excellent display when we were there. The Tiffie looks tame compared to it!! the '58s were always a Sexy beast.

2 things for Me -- VIGGEN & DRAKEN !!! Cricky looks like a Fair bit of a Walk from the Station to Schools road, Cant see the Missus and sprogs doing that!! 1.5 hours walk to and from the prom. We'll see.

Excellent, Thats the Airshow weekend so will be able to make that now!! Sweet. http://brayairdisplay.com/

LOL, Thats Funny.

That belmond loco, Is that colour scheme the actual finished Article?

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.

Ta JHB.

Same here, all sorted ! thanks Guys.

Question on this tour. Seen the times on Boards.ie Any one know why it changes to a Diesel for the leg from Mallow to Cork tomorrow evening return leg back to Cork from Killarny The Diesel then hauls it on Sunday from Cork to Mallow on Sunday and then it changes back to Steam? any ideas?

Cool, This Train is now due into Cork this Evening. Looking forward to seeing a Steam loco again! Leaving Cork tomorrow then for Killarney so no Lie in tomorrow am! Great sight and sound to be had coming up from Rathpeacon.

Good news so I ordered 4 of the original ones so will avail of mixing up of the new 2, I have a friend who will take the extra pack from me.

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.

Wow that last shot is Fab.

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.
