Glad to see some of the models got out of their boxes:). Layouts coming along very nicely too!

Looks like its going to be an excellent layout Wiggy, nice amount of rolling stock too:)

Layout and models look brilliant, more video's please=D

I think there was one in Model Rail a few years back when they did an article on the IE mk3's, as far as I can remember anyway:D

As far as I know only the 121's and 201's were fitted with door controls too so when they were being used as standard coaching stock with 071's and 141/181's a guard had to stay in the driving trailer to operate the doors.

I use the Hornby Elite and have never had any issues with it, its easy to use also; but I've never experienced other systems so I wouldn't know what to compare it to.

The layout and stock looks brilliant:tumbsup:

I was delighted to see City winning it too but after tonight's behaviour from Tevez I think he'll be shown the door fairly rapidly. As a Newcastle supporter its been a great season too, Europa League for us, its much better than relegation:). I fLiverpool try to buy our 'best' players I think this time we should just sell them Shola Ameobi because at least they can't make him much worse than he already is:p

If the motor and worm gear are spinning freely then it could possibly be an issue with the connecting rods on the main wheels being slightly out of sync.

That's a nice job for a kids layout, the Cravens with the passengers look great; giving me ideas

Was this the one from around 1990 when he travels on the RPSI steam train (slieve gullion?) and talks about the Peace train? If so I have it on DVD somewhere, my Dad got it as a present a few years ago; I think its a box set of Michael Palins railway journeys.

Lovely model, it looks fantastic and a great weathering job too:)

It is, they're putting one in at Sallins too. It looks a fairly long spin up the ramp for someone in a wheelchair:eek:

Anyone know if 112 is being released as it was when with IE, with the modifications such as the LED lights? I remember seeing it pulling a rake of mk2d's on an early morning train to Heuston and stopping in Sallins. Even then it made a change from the 201's and mk3's, now look what we have:(

The site looks great lads, well done to all involved and hope it goes well:)
