You mean a 1980’s DART, of course! The 22000’s look and sound amaaaaaaaaazing, gotta be model of the decade contender!

Sorry to read this, @Noel. Glad that you, the family and furries are OK.

Park Royals and Mk2’s. I guess Mk3’s are also a possibility but hopefully not just yet.

Just received a Facebook screenshot on the KC models. Afraid I don’t have the url, just this:

What a lovely little wagon! https://railsofsheffield.com/products/dapol-4f-hattons-26-hattons-model-railways-blue-vent-van Nice little tribute to Hatton’s. We could all make room for one of these… Now, where’s the O Gauge version?

I’d say holding back on Irish liveries is a wise choice for a few reasons. First run of the tweaked tooling so it’ll allow for customer feedback on potential improvements. There’s a lot of Irish stock available at the moment, and due this year, including two locos and a railcar, plus two coach ranges, so a lot of hammers already being applied to piggy banks. I recently read comments here on the forum, possibly from @Patrick Davey and @jhb171achill, saying that they don’t like the size of the Genesis coaches and are retiring them. Apologies to you two if it was somebody else. Maybe next year or the following year, when there’s a vacuum in the Irish coach market.

Can’t remember my Facebook password! D’oh!

More Genesis coaches (UK outline) on the way from Accurascale:

Great to see more Genesis coaches in the pipeline!

Brilliant stuff, as ever!

As did @Ironroad, I asked a few years ago and they told me that they don’t charge VAT on pre-owned, so there’s none to remove. Looking at their pre-owned pricing, in general, items are quite frequently listed for higher prices than the same item new, even when still in stock, so there must be quite a margin on a lot of it. Hatton’s pre-owned section was great value but Rails have a different philosophy. I’ve been watching a few O Gauge locos sit there for a long time. Hatton’s wanted the stuff gone and priced accordingly, but Rails are quite happy to hold onto it for several years.

Of trains or of chocolate consumption? That Scania 770 will be working overtime!

They don’t deduct VAT from pre-owned items, sadly.

Where’s that young @Rob fellow skulked off to lately?

Thank Friday it’s Tara Junction!

Finished at only €20, not bad at all!

Exterminate, exterminate!

Whose order is that? Jaysus, it’s tiny! These are gonna be epic. The Park Royals really do cater to a wide audience.

Brilliant, @ttc0169!

The whole layout is shaping up to be something else!
