Feels like Hornby only entered the market to take a potential share from Heljan, rather than to actually embrace the market. As if success came secondary and hurting another company was the primary aim.

Sure we'll probably have the pre-show announcement today, and two more at the weekend!

Two packs of Ferts going cheap today: https://www.ebay.es/itm/165737827706 https://www.ebay.es/itm/165737826356 And this fellow has a tonne of Irish stuff at great prices - 50% to 150% mark-up: https://www.ebay.es/sch/i.html?sid=irishmodels63johnpaul

Sell sell sell!

Jaysus, sounds like a wedding on the way.

I miss your videos and photos!

If there is no NIR stuff like 111's or Hunslets to haul the Mk2B/C packs, maybe we'll see Irish freight stock - bogie cements, ammonias, timbers, or even auto-ballasters.

Less than half that! And he still has it for sale, I think? If so, I might buy it from him and sell it for €400 on eBay. I'm sure they bought it themselves using another profile in order to inflate prices, there has to be some con going on there.

This Spanish magazine trio and their IRM colleague have been in the post since April!

That 7078 photo was fab!

Aside from the lovely buses themselves, the yard surface looks great.

Brake chains?

Fertin' Hell, a brand new in box set!

Slightly off topic, but if railcars were the staple long before the end of steam, why do forum members bitch about the railcars of today, while calling them trams, yo-yo's etc? Yes, @Noel, I'm looking at you, but not only you, there are several others. I just didn't want this to appear as a passive-aggressive dig at you, that was not my intent.

2600 / 2700 / 22000 / 29000 would be incredible, perfect for end-to-end and loop style layouts! The IE livery Bachmann 158's are nice and all, but still, IRM grade MU's would be awesome, specially something like a 2600, which ran for so long in so many guises.

Oh my goodness, have you had 071 and 072 repainted in IRM and Accurascale liveries at Inchicore? LOL to both. No, I meant somewhere that you'd actually want to go to, not get away from, probably a few thousand km south.

If none of them are B&I ferries, I'll be disappointed. Probably two tone green Dublin buses, Roadliner trucks, 071 Class locos, 800 Class locos, 47' Flats, Mk4 coaches, Mk2A/B/C range expansion, loose coupled wagon three packs, 2600's, or who knows? Maybe one of the lads has a baby on the way and that's one of the announcements. Or maybe they're pre-empting sanctions on China and opening a plant in a low wage area much closer to home, one with a young, skilled, multi-lingual workforce, one that's less than four hours away, one that has blue skies most of the time, and one where palletwide containers are the norm, and that's one of the announcements.

Yeah, that little cloud of cigarette smoke around the back seats, forgot about that! That DCC chip will have a lot of work to do.

For the extra cost of the DCC chip, it would also need to emit Co2 or something to make you nauseaous, for that authentic bus-home-from-town nostalgia trip. I'll take a two-tone green trio any day!

Are you hinting that it'll be three different destinations on the next batch???

He knows when you're lying, duh.

Outstanding, @Rob. Pity you don't have any ammonia tanks lying around.

Hmmmmmmm..... Feels like a while since a bus announcement... There must be one on the way for filling the Christmas stockings?

I'd like to report this photo as offensive. I'm offended by how awesome it looks and how I'll never see anything like that myself.

Received this bundle of joy yesterday - a very lucky eBay win!
