    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!!!
  8. Rob
    I can only hope this is somehow Mark III related...

    You going to model something based around Limerick? Lots of questions about Limerick
  10. Rob
    They would be seen there when they travel to the wagon works in Limerick for overhaul, upkeep etc

    Railtec

    Rob replied to jhb171achill's topic in Irish Models

    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!!
  13. Rob
    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!!
  15. Rob
    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

    Brilliant- where did you get the Bus Shelter?
  19. Rob
    Hopefully the first of many.

    The one in the photo above would have been the ex BR type Generating Steam Van which would have been around in the era of the 071 in the loco livery in your photo, mid 1990's - 2006. The 'Dutch' type that was mentioned above would be the type below, maybe what you mean? That would be before my era so some of the others here would be able to advise on that side of it but they would have both ran with the Cravens.
  21. Rob
    The 071 class loco is a good choice for that era, Mick as it would have pulled the Cravens you have but also the Mark 2 & Mark 3 sets that would have been around in that era in case you expand in the future. It also would have been used for freight like the Container 42' flats & Tara Mines Wagons etc so it is versatile but accurate! Something like this (below) would have been found at the back (or front) with the Cravens during this era too- the BR van referred to above. Hope that helps and good luck! Rob.
  22. Rob
    Good stuff @Noel- l found it worked well too and ordered three! Look forward to seeing what comes of the Mark 3.
  23. Rob
    Love the signage!
  24. Rob
    It was recommended above, and from the one experience l had today, it seemed to match the Halfords one which was the best general purpose one l encountered. Especially if you can't get the Halfords one, it seems very good to me
  25. Rob
    Tried Hycote Plastic Primer on some fencing as recommended by @scahalane given the difficulty in getting the trusty Halfords equivalent, which is all l ever used. Seems to be decent quality and does the job from what l see, so if you're stuck, go for it !
