  1. I've never seen the Base Toys UlsterBus Tours one before. Is it prototypical or imaginary? I'm interested either way!
  2. @johnfromoz just sent me the link to this video. Some lovely shots. Video descripton says: "Scenes filmed on the Loughrea Branch by Tony Price capturing the last scheduled mixed train (passenger & freight combined) in Ireland. Filmed from the early 1970s to shortly before closure in 1975. Film donated by Tony to the Dawson family."
  3. Rails of Sheffield have Legacy Models OO gauge Bullhead track (12 x 970mm) reduced from £70 GBP to £45GBP: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/pack-of-12-wooden-sleeper-bullhead-track-970mm Looks like only DCC Concepts' fishplates are compatible.
  4. What other routes did the MCW Metroriders run on?
  5. I'm hoping for an O Gauge IRM A Class instead. Please, Santa, I'll be good. I mean, the design work is done, the trouble-shooting is done, the rate of sales per livery has been calculated, so just lash out four liveries with some transfers for numbering, day-glow panels, ST/IR hybrids etc. IR livery, ST livery, un-rebuilt BT livery and that delightful lined green. €600 a pop, DCC ready, no speaker included, and happy days!
  6. These decals.
  7. They were around £192 GBP during the sale. Went from six in stock to only one.
  8. Temporary problems with Accurascale shipping here, most likely due to that Royal Mail cyber mess a few months ago, so I was unable to make use of the offer. However, I couldn't resist buying one from Hatton's at full price in order to see it with my own eyes, and it just arrived a few minutes ago. Wow, what a wagon! The detail is out of this world. Not knocking OO Gauge models in any way, but O gauge offers a bigger canvas and Accurascale have made the most of it. Nice weight to the wagon, too. I don't know anything about O Gauge couplings but I assume that these couplings are a kind of industry standard. Stunning wagon, and the size, it just looks so massive alongside a OO wagon!
  9. Enjoying looking at these different plans! Slightly off topic but is it "Theo The Randy" or "The Other Andy"?
  10. Not bad at all! DCC ready, 21 PIN decoder, prepared to accept a speaker etc.
  11. Might have even run a tiny bit later according to this post: It's not a claim, just a suggestion, but certainly possible.
  12. Love it! Thank Crunchie it's Friday. Your lighting is fabulous. I'm only now noticing the embankment that's kind of hidden in most shots. Maybe an upside-down selfie stick would allow you film the layout from the opposite side? Never used one before myself so not sure if it would actually work.
  13. Link to the Facebook group: https://m.facebook.com/groups/3208540152584491/
  14. Yeah, it's a bit far-fetched of me but both Cravens' and a Mk1 GSV are likely at some stage, so why the Hell not? If there were 750 packs produced, it would guarantee both manufacturers an additional sales boost due to the cross merchandising.
  15. Just for reference, @Weshty's Bandon tank and other locos can be ordered here: http://www.studio-scale-models.com/Locos.shtml The SSM email bounces everything back but he does attend to the other email address listed.
  16. Nearly sure that it was mentioned here before that it was the late nineties or early two thousands before the whole fleet had transitioned from blue to red. I am open to correction on that.
  17. Don't mess with the Navy. Unless you're a Polar Bear. Then you can mess with Navy.
  18. Blinded by the light so I am:
  19. Is it a Polar Bear in a blizzard?
  20. Very recent-looking photo, relatively speaking. Early nineties?
  21. Hey, that's how everything is inside my head! Not my fault if it escapes the odd time. Mods, give me thread-merge powers and I'll clean everything up in no time!
  22. So €85 each, plus postage, plus 23% of that combined value, plus a handling fee? Probably works out as cheap ordering six of IRM's new Park Royals instead. That's a shame, as the Cravens' are lovely coaches.
  23. How dare you? Everybody needs Taras!
  24. How does this work for Irish buyers when it comes to import tax and handling fees?
  25. Great to see a few Irish coaches for sale!
