I like your era !    Nice video- keep them coming.

Hi.

Anybody explain the different type of signage used at lrish level crossings, around the flashing lights sign?

Would have thought they would be standard but seems to vary- some have Red/White warning edges, some are plain etc.

Are one type older than another?    

I can't see any consistency but maybe someone in the know can advise so l model correctly!

Rob.

Best of luck!    Look forward to seeing photos of the developments

Just a little note to say that if anyone wants a chip remapped with functions on the F button they desire or a complete reblow please private message me and I will give you details of service provided. 
All of my sounds can be seen in action on the Ballyercall thread under Irish Layouts. 

Great idea Gareth.   So much of this stuff is double dutch to a lot of people, so any service provided like this is great to see.  Cheers.

Maybe not the thread for this point and maybe it's elsewhere on the site (l can't locate) but if there was some up to date listing of those that still provide weathering services that are available, it would be a great option for those that would want it.

Some of the weathering services listed are no longer taking new commissions l understand.

Maybe could help those providing the sevice meet those who want it!!

Looks great, really impressive.   Before my time/era, but must say the signal looks really good-   great photos Patrick.

Yes, that's true.  When raised as a question previously, one reason was that factory weathering tends not to look as effective / realistic as individual weathering that is carried out.    

Those lucky enough to know how to weather tend to prefer to do it themselves was a reason given.

I would agree that l would always prefer a weathered look but wouldn't dare tackle it myself-  l leave it to others to do on mine!

Very interesting read!     Unusual in the main pic to have the Restaurant directly behind the loco.

Must have been for the publicity shot as it was never like that in actual service that l saw.

Looks good!    Brings back memories of 'that first run' in a layout!

Trying to locate some decent modern 'People' figures (OO Gauge) for a layout, including preferably a good mix of seated figures, preferably 'lrish'  (ie no Bowler Hats and Pin Striped Suits!!)

I sometimes feel it's hard to get the 'People' part right.   Having no figures has the layout looking too empty, but having figures 'frozen' in action can have some risks too though?

Figures in 'stationary' positions (forgive the pun!) often look the best, l think, such as being seated, or leaning on something  so it was kinda that l was thinking of but any help is welcomed!

Thanks.

Rob.

Jesus-  l have a few of them plus boxes from years ago in the attic.     Would agree and be of the view they're not worth that though!

Superb- always love these clips

Hi.

I am looking for any photos of lrish Platform Signage from the mid 2000's era- the good old Orange and Black versions, example below.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Rob.

Great pic,  never saw that while they were in normal service. When/where was that?    Photo looks very modern and clear.

Mark III (IÈ) for me, but include the Restaurant with the elusive correct lrish window formation!!!

IRM have a number of announcements and new releases coming between now and year end that should help

I can only hope this is somehow Mark III related...

You going to model something based around Limerick?   Lots of questions about Limerick

They would be seen there when they travel to the wagon works in Limerick for overhaul, upkeep etc

Yeah, Railtec generally excellent at sending orders-  usually arrives within a few days.

Any ideas of where to source 'modern' & 'normal' 1:76 scale vehicles (cars) for a layout?

Majority of anything available is vintage (60's) or exclusive (Aston Martin's etc).

Seems impossible to get anything post 2000's you'd find in lreland like a Passat or a Focus!!

Get a few photos now !!

Like the 4001 & 216 set, rarely see that!      Saw 216 on a similar set from Cork arrive in Heuston during the week!!

Like the Taxi Decals.

I like the 201 class and you don't often get too many layouts with them on it, so really like the pics / vids here
