Mk4's are old-timey coaches for the next generation...

Which you'd also pay on the full price one. Interesting that the grey 121's seem to be hanging around more than others. I see Hattons have quite a lot of second-hand 121's on sale these past few months. I wonder if they are units that were damaged in transit and returned to them, as I can't imagine anybody parting with a 121 willingly. Edit: I see that Hattons have added SIX damaged 121's for sale today alone.

I made that up, tongue in cheek to annoy the old guys looking for old-timey laminates and stuff. @jhb171achill ...

Yeah, at a hundred quid each. i'd rather twelve of IRM's forthcoming Mk4's or Paddy's Mk3's for the same price.

Bought it like that, almost half price so I couldn't say no!

Any chance that TTC can have a word and arrange a special triple-header for the last ever port liner? @ttc0169 You gonna start cycling down to Rosslare for liner photos, Rob? Give the legs a good auld stretch?

3,8 MB test image uploading OK just now.

Does anybody know much about Honowell diecast vehicles They have a very "Cararama" look to them, and seem to be around 1/72. These were bought a long time ago, maybe 25 years, and were lost in the depths until surfacing very recently, slightly battered, but nice nonetheless. Just wondering about the company and what happened to them. Thanks!

You and I both!

Murphy Models 171 and some IE livery Mk2D's to haul, please!

Oops, this thread appears twice! Maybe a mod could merge them?

First, more important than welcoming you to the forum, I get dibs on the Irish stuff if you sell up... Welcome to the forum! 10 x 10 is a huge space. You could literally run two different levels, and have both levels criss-cross the shed several times. At a guess, you could have two "peninsulas", one at each side, which would give four runs the length of the shed. If it were possible to squeeze in a fifth run, you could connect to the start of the first with a diagonal running above the rest of the track. As DC says, and as Noel pointed out to me previously, think long term and make your baseboards small enough so that they can easily be transported in the future. I'm not sure what fits comfortably across the back seats of your average car? Maybe 1000mm or 1200mm? Are you running DC control or DCC control? DCC means you can fit a lot more in as there's less need for complete loops. I've recently bought a DC Gaugemaster Shuttle controller to try on an end-to-end DC layout, but have no feedback to offer as of yet. Best of luck.

So they're perfect for completing rakes of IRM's last red Taras, while also perfect for anybody lucky enough to track down a grey 071!

Do I have this correct? These blue Taras will wear G1 (first gen) lids. The previous IRM red Taras wore G2 lids. These new red Taras will wear G3 lids.

Ghdjkjfgrhfjjfgjcx... Translation: Too excited to type. Who was that moaning? Not good enough? Would ye get the boat???

Me three. Boskonay posted something the other day about some features not surviving the server migration, so they need to be re-sized to much smaller dimensions before uploading. Likewise for PM's, "Error 200" when trying to attach pictures from the mobile. Too lazy to re-size them!

That's what I was thinking, and IRM's model of C226 will be in the semi-restored livery...

Will one of them have an IRM plate on the side???

And forgot to mention what the "S" and the "A" stand for. You want that level of detail in your unboxing videos, there's an amazing channel that you should follow, called Sam's Trains...

Outstanding info, JHB. As Mayner says, it was always the cold, clear nights when the sound would travel best. The GM's sounded like they were just around the corner. Ah, the nostalgia.

I should have added a few minutes run time by saying that every 30 seconds!

I recorded this video just for @jhb171achill, as I know he's a rabid fan of twenty minute unboxing videos:

I have hazy memories of living in Artane in the early eighties, and at night, I could hear the sounds of GM locomotives carrying over the air. Killester would have been the closest station, probably around a kilometre and a half as the crow flies. What late evening and nocturnal trains that would have been running on that line back in those days? Probably pre-DART era.

You must have some set of legs on you if you're gonna be cycling down there to get some photos.

Outstanding work! Had to look at these photos on the PC as they are so good. So, the big question... Will you be selling them in twin packs or in rakes of eight when production is up and running?
