I forgot to mention acetone on plastics. Both @murphaph and @Ironroad warned me not to let the acetone near any plastics. So, in the name of science, I decided to dab loads of it onto some plastic to see what would happen. I have a few of these trailers that I'll eventually stick labels onto, so was happy to take the risk in the name of science. Basically, the acetone melts / burns the plastic. I reckon that you'd totally destroy fine parts like wipers, mirrors etc if you weren't careful, and the surface of tougher plastic ends up scarred. Whatever you do, don't let this stuff near your locos or coaching stock!

You mean 19 days from now?

Both grey 071s hovering around the €400 mark with a little under an hour to go...

And that is enough substance abuse for today. Trio of orange Transits, trio of Morris LDs and a few de-Stobart-ized truck cabs.

Can't decide which Network Rail Transit I like better; plain orange or orange with a white stripe.

Absolutely lovely!

What ever happened to Project Dutch? Did @murphaph provide pictures or dimensions or something?

Lucky I'm teetotal or things could get really hectic! Between IRM draining my bank account and forum members pushing me onto harder and harder stimulants, this could all end in tears.

With thanks to @Moxy for highlighting here that Morris LD's ARE actually available in 1:76, and with thanks to @murphaph for telling me about @Flying Scotsman 4472 posting a video on Facebook, I went down to Mercadona (local supermarket chain) tonight and grabbed a 200ml bottle of pure acetone... This stuff is magic!!! Just tried it on a few vehicles earlier and it is wicked stuff. Obviously I lack the finesse of a true modeller, but just testing it out and I'm well pleased with the results.

Reading the comments, it looks like the editor stole all of the clips from somebody else and did not credit them for several years. A shame as for me, that takes a lot away from it.

Would love to see these shots recreated with the rolling stock that you now have - maybe even a "drone" style video covering some of them. Too many posts to click like on al at once...

An interesting take on Pachelbel's Canon:

Savage! Now that I look at their website, I think that I have seen their products on eBay before. Thanks for that, great solution!

Don't think I've had any bus or truck attacks, yet, but beggars can't be choosers when buying this stuff as it's rare as hen's teeth at fair prices.

Get yourself a few Mags. Gorgeous little wagons, probably the nicest IRM wagon on that shared chassis.

Hi All. What sources do members recommend for spare wing mirrors? Many, if not most, of the trucks and buses that I track down, tend to arrive with missing / damaged mirrors. The DFDS Scania R Topline arrived minus one mirror altogether, with the other broken into two seperate pieces, loose in the packaging. I glued the mirror back together and reattached it, but like many of my trucks, it's still missing a mirror. Likewise with my buses. A lot of the Irish buses that I've tracked down are missing one of both mirrors. I have already sent an email to Oxford, asking them. Any help would be much appreciated!

He-Man.

...and buy a mansion and a Porsche.

That trackwork alone is something else!

I see that after the edit, yes.

What does the rest of the article say?

Was it white trains running in the snow?

Both grey 071's now well outside my price range - both currently around the €370 mark. https://www.ebay.es/itm/155475800367 https://www.ebay.es/itm/155475793533 @Fowler4fdid post about these in a different thread, and I'm pretty sure he posted in another different thread a week or two back, when this seller sold another load of stuff.

Hatton's: https://www.hattons.co.uk/434524/oxford_diecast_76rn001_renault_4_beige/stockdetail Would have preferred buying from IRM or Marks Models but it wasn't available from either: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/vehicles/availability_in-stock?sort_by=price-ascending http://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=44397 Hatton's also have the red one in stock, and both blue and brown versions available to pre-order.

Went for the R4 myself. Wrong colour, I'd like a blue and a dark red, but better than nothing.
