I did not take any as I have hit the 10 year mark with Pc Kaput, Laptop Kaput, Camera Kaput.....have not got the will to replace them But at the risk if being cheeky there are some pics here: http://irishscalemodeller.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3092&sid=3742fe85802d7fde5af42743d80242b0 We will need to review next years one as the costs are too great and the show this year did not cover the outgoing expenses despite a large number of visitors again. With an relative Explosion of shows now in Cork with one in Clonakilty June, Fort Camden in August and a Diecast one in the Airport hotel and other around the county have kind of diluted traders and exhibitors. We will have to sit down and see what direction to take.

yep, thanks for supporting it lads. I was an enjoyable day. If only I brought the Apt in, What a sight that would of been on your track demo layout!! Ah well.

2000 units Noel.

Thats a lovely well proportions loco and the model has come on Very nicely. Would not look out of place on the SECR with a nice shiny dome.

Inerior is cool Alrite, already lads on RMWEB looking to Spruce it up!. The Only gripe I would have is the gap between the nose moulding and the main body, its way to pronounced but I am sure the boffins that created this tried to do all they could to eliminate it. I wondered about filler but don't have the guts!

LOL, There not glued on thank God!!! That would be a Tad Difficult to fix! the Tensions are way to Cruel visually.

when do the tickets go on sale? and of course some test runs to carryout as well so loads of photos. Loads of action for the lad up the top of the country then.

here the latest on the ploughs. Weather the roof last night. Glazing next.

Also don't throw away the UPS pouch it has the Limited Edition Cert in it. My yoke was number 123!

Well in my excitement to get out of Work with my new toy train I left it under the desk but it was neverously unwrapped last night and my go what a package. I cant fault any of it really. Manage to get the 4 cars together without much hassle. The lights are cool and the car lights may need dimming down. ran the unit around on my embarrassing track and the sound was great, Love the Jet noise! She ran nice and smooth from the start in both directions for a few laps and she was carefully put back in to the box. gonna have a nice read tonight of the book that came with it!! Was it worth the money, Yes for sure. all the best.

Poor thing. Sad to see this happen.

Fraid the ol lap top is down but I try tonight anyhow to do so and stick em up tomorrow if I manage to get it past the missus. Some Production though the box alone is just sublime! One on Ebay nearly at the £600 pounds mark!! 747 euros. Could I be tempted to flog it for a few more Bulleid Pacifics!!

Nada WB. UPS just dropped the box to me a few mins ago, No tracking info. Cant want to hear this roar!!!

Trembling now, UPS Called, A Box has just appeared on my desk with APT-E on the side!!!! Oooh. Roll on 1730hrs.

Cheers, It was the Airbus Factory we are going to Hamburg for really. The Train set will get a visit too!!

Hi Lads, I was taking to Sean Ryan about all things German and he mentioned this model show Intermodellbau, Dortmund This happens to be on in Germany when I am in Hamburg, Anyone been to it before and any tips to take it all in would be appreciated. cheers George.

I must admit I enjoyed the Show, Some lovely Layouts on display, Some nice Bargains to be had also. Spent about 5 hours there, Did not help that I forgot to add the extra hour to the timepiece!! I hope the Monday had a good turnout as it was well deserved.

Surprised there is even a bid on this TBH. I have one in the loft, might try Ebay or file it in the bin. Spose some fellows hanker after the old days...

Well I though this was something I could look at in my shed at some stage although I would like something like Swanage as my middlepart as a seaside Terminus and keeping the point etc down to a min due to cost. I was thinking of Starting the middle first as a removable exhibition piece and seeing how I get on from there. The other issue I would have is the gradient especially as I have a lot of Steam suff which wont go up the slightest gradient unless banked or double headed. Hope you start something on this as it does look fab.
