Maybe sellers have the option to block their listings from certain regions based on IP addresses, rather than just the .es / .co.uk platforms. I'll find out soon enough for myself!

Not a bad price at all! Damage sounds minimal. Wonder why it doesn't appear in the search results for me. I can usually see stuff on the British site, even when they don't offer postage off the island.

You mean "Thanks a Brookhall" ?

I'm not seeing it on eBay, even on the British site: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=Murphy+Models

With big thanks to @Tarabuses (and no thanks to that @MOGUL fellow) I've filled a few gaps in the bus collection. Also picked up a nice BritBus Dublin bus from @Westcorkrailway's buddy, Irishbloke77 for a fair price. I'm still on the hunt for two IRM BritBus commissions: CitySwift no. 13A https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/exclusive-irm-buses/products/copy-of-dublin-bus-cityswift-13a RailLink no. 90 https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/exclusive-irm-buses/products/dublin-bus-rail-link-volvo-rv-class-olympian-rv517 Still hungry for the older BritBus Dublin buses, if anybody has any that they want to let go.

Definitely agree with that... Looking back at one of the videos I took about five years ago after dusting off some of my childhood BR stock and receiving a lovely Deltic in the post from Marks models, and contrasting it to the few Irish bits and bobs that I have today, it is also the path that I took. @derek has the new batch of Murphy Models Class 141 / 181's to look forward to, and an IRM steam loco, more Murphy Models Mk2D coaches, IRM Mk2ABC coaches AND Park Royal coaches! Hatton's Genesis coaches are probably only a stone's throw away, too.

I'm sure I could wrangle a 10% FFF discount on an apartment. Family, friends and Forumers...

Hatton's O Gauge steam loco sale - UTA Jinty's in there, too! https://www.hattons.co.uk/stocklist/siteresults?search/scales/O/product-types/Steam locos/bargain/true/stockstatus/InStock/sort/4

385mm outside to outside sounds close enough to 371mm centre to centre, so probably 1st radius fixed curves. Good stuff on getting that 190 from @WRENNEIRE, the man can't be beaten!

That's the old pepper!

A Friday night with no TJ update? Something is off with the universe today.

The puns are definitely not stale in this thread.

Cheap enough 1/43 scale trucks! Edicola brand, made in Bangladesh for a Spanish company. I'd say that they're somewhere between toy and model. Nice detail, mainly plastic construction with a diecast cab. The glazing is very very thick and there are fingerprints on the inside of the glazing. The cab is modelled inside but my camera can't focus through the glazing. Some of the tyres melted a bit in transit, and one of the wing mirrors snapped off, along with the fuel tank, so they had to be glued back on. Decal work on the trailer is not perfect, but I expect too much when it comes to decals - straight lines etc. There are some casting marks visible on some parts, and the trailer could do with extendable legs. Packaging is sufficient. Cardboard backing, transparent plastic cradle and a transparent bubble cover. Have only opened one of them, G1N0E006, the Dodge, but for €20 each I'm very happy. If I can trick somebody into coming down here for a weathering holiday, I'm sure they could make this look excellent.

From the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-65793257 Very sad.

What size is the new layout? I had one in the attic when I was younger, 14' x 6', consisting of 8 x baseboards each measuring 4' x 2'.

Upside down to get the photos the right way up?

They look like real photos!

Outstanding stuff, @Darius43! Those roof vents remind me of something tasty from decades ago. Lucozade tablets, maybe?

I wonder if @connollystn is interested or knows of anybody interested. Nearly sure that @randallator is an American buff, too.

Lovely jailhouse feel to those long bench tables.

Hope it's well protected from the doggie!

In fairness, he did say in one of the (six?) Kingsbridge threads that he was working on something big for Gort, so we'll probably have a savage update of how that's going, soon enough.

Would a screwdriver with a magnetic tip do the job?

And they're the only two readily available 12mm tracks? Over-ballasting would disguise the TT sleepers etc, so for an industrial or yard layout, I guess either would work.

What gauge track does OOn3 run on? 12mm? So HOm or TT track? I saw this thread on these lovely wagons and went digging through the forum to resurrect this one.
