Cracking pic of 082!

Absolutely lovely, the standout of the retro trio, thanks for posting @Westcorkrailway!

Wonderful pictures of wonderful wagons on a wonderful layout, @ttc0169.

Stunning photo realism, @JasonB, Captain Nostalgia hits hard. Wouldn’t be bothered with taking it any further, you’ve got them perfect to my eye. Agree with you, @derek, “rooves” may be antiquated but “the hooves in the grooves on the rooves” just sounds better when lying to children about Christmas presents.

What increcible, progress, @The Derry Road! Link to PC-Recycler on eBay: https://www.ebay.es/usr/pc-recycler

I’d guess February, if we don’t have an official update soon.

Containers now in stock at Rails of Sheffield: https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/dapol-o-gauge-shipping-containers A little on the pricey side compared to the 1:48 containers, but the correct size for everything 1:43.

Any update on the stolen 55015 Tulyar models? I see one for sale on eBay today: https://www.ebay.es/itm/407167159633

Two threads on the same project so copying and pasting my post from the main thread: Which of the various 800 Class models being released would have seen the highest mileage and had the longest lives? On the other end of the spectrum, like the grey version, which of the models would have had the shortest lives? Talking about the models being released, more than the prototypes themselves. Thanks!

My understanding, from reading about this online over the past few months, is that for smaller, lighter, single-motor O Gauge locomotives, an OO Gauge controller will suffice. For larger, heavier, twin-motor locomotives, a “smart” booster is required. For example, an NCE PowerCab plus an NCE SB5. Getting a locomotive moving takes more energy than keeping it moving, so how you operate your layout will affect consumption, too.

29000 rather than 2900, I think. Commissioned by the late Chris Dyer, probably painted by Tony Mirolo / @tonto.irl. Initially released in three car sets but in Chris’s later days, I asked about four-car sets, so he did a handful. i think, but am open to correction, that @ttc0169 has a four-car set on Tara Junction. I have two here but wouldn’t be interested in letting them go. If you search the forum for 29000, you may find somebody who can be persuaded to let theirs go. Best of luck.

Uh, phrasing?
