That's a great way to do it if you live within a reasonable distance from NI. 

dublin and handy bus service for 18 return is cheaper for 4 or 5 deliveries then risking an posts customs

im know sending a lot of my deliveries and ebay wins via northern ireland using the click and collect system for centa or argos working a treat so far just means a trip every so often a bonus

Perhaps a parcel Motel type option that delivers to Northern Ireland then rouges to the south?

we had them then brexit came and they were cancelled an post does an adresspal one but every item sent via it gets customs charges so far

A little bit of fettling required to make your own shank out of plastic card to get both the distance and HEIGHT correct. 2mins with a Scalpel and super glue.

 

slighlty different fix for MM Mk2d BUT only takes a few mins.

 

i wonder will there ever be a way to use mirs screw couplings instead to make it  more realistic

son is working in the docks now and said to me think your trains are coming in as he was expecting a couple of mixed containers in via france that originated in the east

Will there be a few thousand of the lighting kits available seperately?

I'd like to be able to retrofit my MM Cravens, MM Mk2D's, Bachmann Mk2A/B's, Lima Mk2D's, Silver Fox Mk3's and Silver Fox GSV!

Also, can the wand be installed somewhere on the layout, for example underneath a bridge?

So, as each train passes underneath, the lights alternately switch on and then switch off each time?

Or, does the wand have to be activated by pressing a button or something?

Is the wand bi-directional or do you need to start at one end?

think everyone would want them

only copped this part in the article so even more value for us

Each triple pack is priced at €199.99 and there is a 10% discount when you order three or more packs.

Four; the original maroon & blue also.

yes surprised the maroon livery was forgotten as well as rpsi livery

wow great announcement finally will get the Whitehead rpsi mk2 set finished with the generator 8911 and dining car 547  pity they were not announced in the liveries unless its in the future as well as open coaches 300 and 302. It is nice to see NIR stock been done so if these sell well maybe an 80 class is not too far away

I have never been to the Blackrock show, and where online were the orders taken?

online was mainly through facebook and i think he had his email available for orders at the time

wow i  would buy it but dont have 200 at the moment could trade you irish rolling stock if you wanted instead

Such a shame that it is only marketed/sold on Facebook...

they were launched at the blackrock show and preorders were taken there as well as online at the time

And the driver's gone on a smoke break again with the Carroll's. You'll never get that A class moving ...

 

However, joking aside, a set of appropriately attired drivers, guards, station master, signalman not all in dayglo would be very useful accessories pack at this point for everyone's locos.

Maybe a 1960s, 1980s and 2000s attire would suit all modelers? Sitting and standing passengers too for that matter ...... 

ah now they would never keep up stock levels if they gave us them

wonder will irm do a spare parts pack for these with tablet catchers horns and railings in it 

great to see the blues finally and it will be great for those that never got taras originally

possibly was 

rip to a fellow modeller hopefully his layout and stock gets enjoyed by someone in time

I don't think this has been mentioned yet, but books and magazines are still Vat exempt so there should be no extra charges beyond postage costs whether importing or exporting between UK and Ireland. Having said that there still seems to be long postal delays, it took 12 days for the GS&WR Loco book to make its way via An Post and Parcelforce from Dublin to Haltwhistle whereas I ordered a new book on the Reseau Breton in France which was ordered on the Thursday from France and arrived the following Tuesday via La Poste and Royal Mail.

My main problem is the second batch of Casserley Irish Negs I won in the Auction last December which ultimately I wish to transfer to the IRRS for their Archive. Slides and negatives are subject to VAT.

I didn't realise this some years ago when a friend and I purchased some 1950's UK original slides from a seller in Canada and we were presented with a £300 demand for VAT before Customs would release them.

i wonder could we not claim the slides negs were produced in ireland as they are usually of irish items

just got this from facebook if its genuine which i believe its going to be great for us
