Unable to post in the Manufacturers forum, so posting here. DCC Concepts became Layout Concepts last month, now managed by TMC: https://www.layoutconcepts.com/article/dccconcepts-is-now-layout-concepts

Thanks, @ttc0169. I wasn’t fully sure on that, hence the question. Maybe 082’s exhaust can be replicated on another before naming, so!

Plenty of scope to name 082 after Paddy Murphy so.

Is 071 the only one of the class named?

Been catching up on my Tara Junction videos on YouTube. Nice to see some different camera angles. One or two shots threw me off at first, wondering where the camera was!

Likewise, I have a friend in Bournemouth who visits a few times a year, and brings some contraband. Always worth the wait. The last shipment (the Splenda aren’t for me ) :

Gift threshold for non-EU countries is / was until very recently €45 including postage. Most private sellers will oblige and declare a value under that threshold. Professional sellers can’t, but private sellers can. An Post will charge the fees anyway, as they’re all braindead, except for you, of course. Then you claim it back from An Post, so there’s no extra cost.

How many soon-to-be-divorced dads are looking at their gardens right now, picturing a pair of O Gauge IRM 121’s hauling a rake of Heljan Mk2’s, Skytrex Mk3’s, or Heljan fuel oil tanks?

I, too, have picked up a few donors, but none of that €80 plus stuff, only bought them when they were under €50, as THIS post removed any sense of urgency for me…

The road surface looks great, as do the slabs. Gritty, grimy look and feel to it. Can just picture a battered forklift trundling around. And the clingfilm bromance!

Says the man with the power to make more appear… After selling his own on, for some mysterious reason!

You mean:

I took a few random pics a few weeks back, but with the sad news of Paddy Murphy passing away, posting that weekend seemed inappropriate:

Says you! I’m already saving for a handful of pairs of 121’s!

Great to see the orange DAF again!

Thanks for the update, @Warbonnet. Sad times for you, @BosKonay, @Garfield, @MOGUL and the team, but you made the right choice in holding back. The detail on the damaged sample looks phenomenal. These will definitely be worth the wait!

Try @leslie10646 who is selling off some wagons, and @WRENNEIRE who always knows a man.

Two more from Otto, the OT1218 2008 V12 Toyota Century and the OT1211 2020 NA1 stanced Honda NSX:

Probably made a last-minute decision to make them O Gauge instead of OO, to go with the O Gauge 121’s. That’s what the “packaging issue” must have been; they wouldn’t fit into the boxes…

What transfers are / were people using for their IR and IE Mk2A/B resprays? the Intercity logo, the door logos, the coach ends and the no-smoking signs? Thanks!

Droooooooooollllllll!!! That is beautiful!

That would be a great price for something so special and so unique. For something like a 121, I’d definitely be buying a few at that sort of price, or an A or an 071 for a bit more. C Class I’d buy one because it’s Irish, but I don’t really have strong nostalgia for them. 141 / 181 would be nice, and cover a great time frame, but I already have a few cardboard units, so wouldn’t go mad buying them. Dapol have kept the price very low on their forthcoming 66’s. I’m not quite sure how they have done so, and the current pricing is after an increase and a shake-up a year or two ago. Within two or three months, I can hopefully report back on how they perform. Not suggesting a 201, just curious as to how they’ve kept such a large loco so cheap.

32mm to 36,75mm, is it?
