Some WEATHERED Mk2's!

I thought that maybe Hatton's had scraped the info from Paddy's website without bothering to speak with him. I had assumed they'd be doing the same with the 141's and 181's, and they are not up on Paddy's site, yet, which might explain that.

Is it just me, or are the new P42 chassis much tougher than the original runs? The original run seemed to have their weak spots, the brake wheels in particular were constantly falling off, but these new ones just feel more solid or something. Did you guys sneak some more work in behind our backs???

Hatton's posted these more or less as soon as Paddy made the announcement. As @BosKonay says, we'll hear it here when it's true! (Just like some two-tone green Dublin buses, ahem...) And as @Ironroad says, best thing to do is add them to your Hatton's wishlist. Hatton's Murphy Models list: https://www.hattons.co.uk/stocklist/1000501/0/murphy_models/mfrnest I think that it was the Cravens which were being considered, based on sufficient interest, and these are not listed on the Hatton's website. Also to note, quite strangely, is that the new run of 141's and 181's is not listed on Hatton's, even though Paddy had samples at the Raheney show.

Nice McCulla truck on eBay, not cheap but they're lovely models and very Irish: https://www.ebay.es/itm/394427715976 Likewise for this Tinnelly truck: https://www.ebay.es/itm/325507252714 These Mulgrew trucks are lovely: https://www.ebay.es/itm/394428617593 Couple of James Irlam trucks.

All you need is a little Axel Foley hanging off the back of the last Bell and the new Brian Collins Garda set racing alongside the tracks.

Hands off, you!

ContainerShips and MSC kind of stand out because of the colours. Both are very striking. MSC seem to keep their containers in very good condition, too, compared to most of the others. A lot of the 20' boxes here are HC, not 8'6", so the MSC's stand out because of that, too.

I'll see what I can find for you.

Containers are lovely, but 220 looks great! I missed her first time around.

Savage info, @MOGUL!!! We need 45's from @Arran!

Why am I hearing the opening to Beveley Hills Cop in my head while watching this???

Any catgut lying around to suspend the Jumbo? It's so thin that it's almost invisible, but is crazy strong.

Every post brings more excitement, there are just less and less appropriate words available each time.

Couple of 92's still available, but no Caledonian Sleeper livery ones - if you wanted them, you were too slow. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/british-rail-class-92/availability_in-stock? Coaches all gone except for the TransPenine Express Pack 2. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/mark-5-coaches/products/transpennine-express-mk5a-pack-2 Anybody know which Accurascale locos haul these coaches?

I'll take these two, please!

IXO MOC177 EG8 / EH9 Honda Civic saloon. These have a special place in my heart, as do the EP71 Turbos, because I've been driving both for over twenty years, now... Anything newer than the year 2000 is the Devil, with the odd exception. Again, these tend to go for a lot, usually, but I picked this one up cheaply enough via eBay, Spanish guy living in Germany, happy days!

Won't last long. The six pack of Caledonian Sleeper coaches was gone within minutes!

A3R went for nearly €300 in the end. https://www.ebay.es/itm/255917811445

May he rest in peace.

Saw this MSC 20ft on the back of a truck earlier, and on the ground tonight:

Couple of Mk5 Caledonian sleepers and matching Class 92's available today!

No words. Incredible. Can you come do some building for me, please?

I thought that the conductors went in the coaches, not the locos? I won't let the door hit me on the way out, don't worry.
