If you could get Murphy or IRM standard RTR N scale stuff I'd be all over it. Already have some Swiss N and it's great. The layout scale in the same space would be such a plus.

Have to agree with Blaine on this one, the Silverfox stuff is exorbitantly priced sub-standard junk IMO

Great collection of photos Any info on the ship appearing in the second image, Zwarte? I'd love a kit or something like that!

background is white, post is white, quote area underneath is white, user member panel on the left of post is white. all very samish and hard to delineate. Bit like the new boards.ie site compared to the older one...

don't mean to be negative but the contrast between posts is pretty poor. Grey and White don't sit well together being so similar, maybe make one of the shades slightly darker? Other than that pretty nice and tidy layout. Actually the posting box itself looks pretty good with the darker shade, something similar to that perhaps?

Much better effort than 071, that orange was completely wrong imo.

Mine finally arrived today We've all seen how fantastic the models are but also a mention to the beautiful packaging! The boxes look really great, nice and solid too!

100% agree. It really is a credit to the team that set the ambitious time lines and got the job done. Showing no sign of let up with the bubbles either!

IF the 121s get released this year! So is it only wagons being re-released? I'd seriously think about another NIR101 if it became available again.

So what was it then? Or still in hiding?

Excellent, another quality model to add to the list. Looks like I won't have to butcher those dapol network rail wagons I have afterall.

Great service again there lads, emailed on the back of this thread to amend packs, reply overnight all sorted. Easy peasy

It's irish rail... it would be disappointing but hardly surprising if it were to happen.

Yes, I do indeed mean the tension hooks rather than the sockets. Even tried to make running adjustments with a coupling bar but wouldn't stay in an 071 pocket. I do think the kadees look well on 141/071/201 when rigidly mentioned with the shield in place big issue with 201s being way lower. aren't the craven a little high too and have a step down n their tension hooks.

Something that again came up when I was running some of my Irish stuff at our club open days down here in New Plymouth. Everyone else models US based stuff and all have Kadees. The NEM look gigantic and terrible and also cause a lot of problems (on our layout at least) popping out all the time, especially as they compact on decline and then stretch back out. Not to mention being attached tot he bogies of most stock rather than body mounted. I'm determined to change all my stock over to kadeee as funds and time allow to solve the constant issues but why is it persisted with, surely everyone encounters the same basic problems? Even the N gauge Rapido is far superior!

I've caved and added another pack to the list. Damn you and your excellent products /broke

Awesome thanks ☺ I'll check my spam Edit: and I've found the reply and initial confirmation in spam. Thanks again

Hi, I've ordered 3 sets via the website and seen initial payment taken. No confirmation email, nor reply from my followup email to check. Can anyone confirm my order has indeed been correctly captured? Thanks Chris

Thanks

Hot thread read and unread have the same icons, bit confusing.

Yay!!! Can the website handle ex VAT totals to outside EU? It failed on shipping to an NZ address.

ah Fota, they get into the tents and everything when we camp there with Scouts.

My 0.02: I don't particularly like Silver Fox's offering and given what the price is likely to be I'd far rather buy an 08 and either do it myself of pay someone to properly convert it. SF models are a bit too generic and/or incorrect to justify the prices they charge.

Picked up a few of these and 086 recently and initially the colour looked really wrong to me, especially given the Supertrain 071 photo on the box being wildly different. But the IE colours of the 071 in the next photo also look off so I'm not sure. It's grown on me since and I think the only way to really cure any colour difference is to leave it in the sun to fade for a few years
