  1. Just humour, don't worry, it seems to go over your head most of the time...
  2. I don't think that Connolly was criticising the work of any of the preservation groups or volunteers. The written word is very easy to misinterpret. I believe that he was stating quite the opposite, that the proceeds of the model will go towards the locos seeing more light of day, so the model reflecting a livery which saw more use will mean it has a broader appeal. Broader appeal means more sales, which means more money for the ITG and hopefully, more similar fund-raising models in the future if this one is a success.
  3. That guy sitting beside the Diesel Depot... Is he plugged into the wall? What's the massive layout with the two angry guys inside?
  4. Aside from the gorgeous A, I see Optimus kicking back and observing in one of the photos. Can you replace the wheels on the Micromasters with more authentic looking ones? That green Chevy (Big Daddy knock-off?) looks very similar to Hurricane from M.A.S.K.
  5. I took that to mean that the model is in the livery that the loco ran in, but could also be used to represent the later mid-nineties preserved version, minus the glass. "A3r also ran in this livery in preservation (albeit with later toughened windscreens) on mainline railtours in the mid-late 1990s as part of the Metro-Vick swansong on the main line network."
  6. I don't think that it's as-preserved. It's as it was in traffic. The blog article says that it ran like this "later" in the mid nineties, albeit with toughened windscreens.
  7. Yeah, that VAT would be a killer. God love you poor schmucks up in Ireland. Just buy a few of them and make it worthwhile... €40 over five of them is pittence...
  8. Outstanding model, for an outstanding cause!!!
  9. That's incredible. The M(odel)MPD sounds like a full time job!
  10. You'll probably have to settle for IRM models of them instead.
  11. I believe that a forum member who often knows a man in the know also reduced the stock levels quite a bit.
  12. You have such an incredible fleet of locos, what do you do with them when not running?
  13. Outstanding. I'll have to ask DJD Senior to keep an eye out for that layout!
  14. So you'll be the one in the convertible, with a girlfriend younger than your daughter, wearing a blood-stained IRM hat?
  15. Whose layout is / was that???
  16. Stunning locos on a stunning layout. Just wow.
  17. I hope that somebody's gonna be streaming some of the show to YouTube. It'd be nice to catch WRENNEIRE beating up RimFix in a corner while stealing his 141's, and for those of us trapped in sunny paradise, it would be nice to catch the IRM announcement live in 4K while we take a breather in the shade. Any offers???
  18. Self-restraint, not forgetfulness! Also held back on mentioning the P47's!
  19. That's the one! Got a bit excited and sent it too early. Once those B&I ferries are on the map, that's all that matters! I hope that they float, though, so I can take one into the pool with me.
