    By the way, how are you getting on with the Swedish models?

    Yup, four character minimum so years are OK, but scales would seem very relevant for this particular forum. I use a workaround by typing the following line into DuckDuckGo: site:irishrailwaymodeller.com “071” …when searching for an 071, or something with less than four characters. However, that’s a bit hit and miss. For example, replace the “071” with “1:24” and it brings up posts made at twenty four minutes past one.

    On how the search function works, I get zero results when searching for a particular scale. For example, both “1/18” and “1:18” show zero results, yet both comply with the four charcter minimum. I feel like being able to search for a scale would be very beneficial. Also, given how common phrases like “071” and “141” are in our hobby, might it be possible to allow a three-character minimum instead of four?

    O Gauge 1958 Land Rover only €20: https://cochesdemetal.es/es/1958-land-rover-series-ii-rhd-canvas-verdebeige-143-oxford-43lr2s008 Quite a ubiquitous vehicle for any layout from 1960 to 2000 and beyond.

    One of their A4’s would have made a lovely display piece, but not at £750 GBP!

    More for our UK members, Rails of Sheffield have a Murphy Models 121 Class, no. 134 in IE livery, for £140 GBP: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/murphy-models-mm0134-po-pre-owned-mm0134-class-121-134-in-iarnrod-eireann-livery-diesel-locomotive It says UK Tax excluded, but I’m confused by that, as their pre-owned doesn’t usually have UK tax removed for overseas buyers.

    Didn’t Heljan produce the O Gauge Hatton’s A4 locos? They had terrible feedback in general. Underpowered with only one motor, motors burning out, loose bits in the box, valve gear back to front, quartering problems etc. Have no experience myself, just comments that I have seen online several times. Think they were £750 GBP when new, but Hatton’s sold them off around half price in the end. Rails of Sheffield had six of them second-hand, varying from £450 GBP to £500 GBP, about two weeks ago, and four have already sold.

    Brilliant photos, @ttc0169. Lakeview at it’s finest. The first shot in particular takes me right back. I can almost feel the drizzle as I trudge to school on a dark, dank winter morning, the sooty smell from the previous night’s chimney stacks still lingering in the air, wondering if it will be dark again by the time I escape at four.

    I wonder if somebody could 3D print one for you? Maybe @Past-Avenue could be convinced to print a few and offer them for sale via CK Prints.

    Anybody see Executive coach no. 7161 lately? Maybe @BosKonay would be kind enough to merge these three threads to save me triple-posting: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/11928-mystery-coach https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/12063-preserved-mark-3-coach-in…cie-green https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/12062-executive-coach-no-7161 Would be nice to see a current picture after @Westcorkrailway‘s comment on it going missing!

    According to the Original Post by @mphoey here, yes: @WRENNEIRE subsequently posted here that there would be no DVT’s / push-pull driving van trailers: So fingers crossed for Executive Mk3’s!

    It really looks excellent! Much as I love the Ballasts, and it’s hard to be consistent with a favourite, I think that maybe the Tara’s and Ferts top the list for me. That felt like an era of really top notch models, extreme accuracy, and excellent pricing, the pinnacle for Irish models of freight stock.

    What a shot!

    Hello, Captain Nostalgia!
  15. DJ Dangerous
    Stunning as always, @JasonB. Would love to see some hedging in the background, too. Hedging is very popular these days.

    Great to see the Stobart livery removed from anything!

    Some lovely additions to Lakeview the past few months.

    Layo and Bushwacka - Love Story: Thanks, @ttc0169, can’t get that Nina Simone vocal out of my head!

    Is this all run through the command station that you built yourself, of is there a PC / laptop / tablet involved?
  21. DJ Dangerous
    What a scene, @Rob! What’s that footbridge passing over in the top left corner?
  22. DJ Dangerous
    @leslie10646‘s wagon looks right at home, there!
  23. DJ Dangerous
    Layo and Bushwacka!!!

    Agree with @Flying Snail, this picture really gives a great perspective. Overall a fascinating thread! If only you knew somebody who could get you some drone footage…

    Drop-dead gorgeous! Everything about the photo is just…
