  1. So... You mean to say that you're... Counting down to the countdown?
  2. Thanks, @Warbonnet! Will report back with FlickR news later. I hope it's more buses!!!
  3. Love the ITG style packaging! Think that the IRM lads are for more present on RMW than here the past year or two, bigger market so probably demands a lot more attention. I missed Colin's post, will go have a look for it, now. EDIT: Found Colin's post, for anybody interested: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/topic/166677-mark-2b-by-accurascale-and-irm/page/42/#comment-5463113
  4. With three of the current four IRM buses about to sell out, it feels like it MUST be time for another bus announcement! So, who's taking bets on the liveries? Where's that @warb fellow with his shots of obscure liveries?
  5. Brilliant, thank you! And, did RV496 only run Coastal Tours, or did it also run regular routes? So, if one were to buy an extra RV496, could they slap their own destination scroll on the front? And:
  6. I see that one of the two Coastal Tours buses, the 14A, is down to the last seven units in stock! The RV496 must have quite a few units available, as there's no stock counter displaying. Maybe @BosKonay can confirm, but the "Remaining Units" start displaying once there are less than 75 unit savailable?

  7. Bus Eireann Metroriders almost out of stock! Only one Galway Shuttle left and only two Cork Shuttles left, as of right now.

  8. That's some collection! They must be massive alongside other 1:18 stuff. Available in both O Gauge (1:43) from Altaya, as well as 1:18, what a beast.
  9. Just had a quick flick through this thread. Kept meaning to do so and kept forgetting. The concept, the idea, is just fabulous, and the shed itself looks brilliant. It genuinely looks like an abandoned wagon sitting in your garden! My only fears would be about protecting the models inside from the elements. It's been a long time since I've experienced it first-hand, but I still remember what Ireland is like for damp. It seems to creep in everywhere and anywhere, the damp and the cold both compounding each other, taking advantage of the tiniest slivers to penetrate anywhere! Some of the posts in the thread are a bit too technical for me, go whooshing way over my head, but the bottom line is, I hope that your models will be OK! I guess it would be kind of funny if they weren't, and you decided to move them back into the house - then you could put your hand on your heart and tell visitors that it genuinely IS abandoned, without having to lie! Being serious, though, how is it likely to turn out from a weather-proofing aspect, long term?
  10. I think that you've just hit the nail on the head, albeit slightly evasively. Values don't need to be monetary or economic, but it may very well be that as people get richer, and quicker, they find it more and more difficult to value anything from a non-monetary perspective. And the inability to value things goes hand in hand with diminishing virtues. Then we spiral downward, vanishing virtues and values, into vices and vitriol. Boom, love this! Absolutely perfect, for almost every challenge we come across, whether generational or interpersonal. So easy to forget in the moment, yet so crucial!
  11. I'm picking Punjanaaaa... That's picking the finest tea!
  12. Several generations, actually. Ten years ago, I went from thinking that the generation twenty years younger than me were "the" problem, to thinking that every generation has it's miscreants. They may present themselves differently due to the era that they grew up in, but at their core, they're the same. So no, I don't think that progress is to blame for these miscreants.
  13. ICR's bring out the worst in people? Or a lack of values being taught when kids are at a formative age?
  14. Why is there so often a negative response to progress? X, Y or Z is new or different, so it's bad. Railcars, mobile phones, IKEA, AI, social networks, whatever. Not saying that progress is always great - my bugbear is touch-screens vs. physical keyboards and predictive text vs. knowing how to spell. I much prefer a mobile with a physical keyboard and I don't like predictive text. So, I'm not without my own bias, it's just that this forum has such a negative angle on things so often. Also not a big fan of social media as it seems to be removing the ability to think critically from people... I saw it on Tik Tok so it must be true. Just, lighten up, guys, progress isn't always bad. ICR's are awesome, mobile 'phones are awesome, cars are awesome, AI is awesome, and IKEA is frikkin' awesome!
  15. Quick, delete that @WRENNEIRE, or the "trains are meant to be played with" crew will come around and open all of the boxes!
  16. Looks like a WEC Lines container sitting in the middle of the Refinery:
  17. The Hatton's website / database will live on via Rails of Sheffield: https://railsofsheffield.com/blogs/news/rails-hattons-faq
  18. Does that mean that we can get stuff for free at the shows???
  19. Free bump! I think that you need to put specific prices for each item to avoid the post being removed.
  20. At least with IRM and Accurascale, we know that we can almost bank on re-runs every couple of years, so we only have to pay the gouger’s prices if we desperately want the model right now. Incidentally @BosKonay, have the excess unsold units already been released into stock, or is that yet to happen?
