DJ Dangerous

No need for tracking, as George says... The lads will want to make this launch special, so they'll probably fly the pallets of locos on an Antonov, parachute them out over the Canaries, then the lads will skydive alongside the pallets with their GoPro's. They'll then land and film the unboxing of one of the best models ever in one of the most beautiful places in the world, edit all the clips together, and make the best "unboxing" video ever. Twenty minutes wouldn't be long enough.

Hell yes!!!

Imagine that, a three pack of Hino's! Hino tractor cab definitely deserving of it's own release, and the Hino three pack would need to include a cement mixer.

I think that kit might be 1:87.

So the following IRM locos all fit the bill for 1965? A12 (Black with Yellow) A15 (Black and tan) A42 (Light green) A46 (Dark green) A55 (Black) Would they have been running alongside the grey 121's and the black and tan 121's at the same time?

The bid was BTB. He's mad for collecting this stuff, and tries to put everybody else off bidding.

@Noel will probably know the specifics, he's mad for the yellow stuff.

Excellent, thank you! I've just ordered a few from DC Kits.

The Bell reefers have been out of stock forever!

Irish steam with no RTR Tin Vans??? Forget it!

So there were only ever two Tool vans, both ex-TPO conversions? So when did they enter service as Tool Vans, and when did they retire? What trains were they used on?

I've seen IR / IE "Tool Vans" released by the wonderful John, and by the pioneering Silver Fox, but I know nothing about them. A quick search on the forum reveals zero results in content titles, so I thought I'd ask, in case anybody else is ignorant like me. What are they for, from when until when did they run, in both IR and IE liveries, what did they replace, what were they replaced with, and with what train did they run? Are they an integral part of something for which we already have available in RTR form, like Spoils or Weedspray? They look suspiciously like Tin Vans, so I'm sure JHB will be on the floor with laughter at me posting this thread. "See, DJ, they DO have a use in the real world! They're not just for old-timey homogenous-steam-loco worshippers"...

Free grey 071's for the first three likes?

Just as I'd assumed.

Another excellent post!!! Thank you! P.S.: It says "Full IR" just after the Fert Liners.

"Full IR' probably means IR with the white stripes. "IR" probably means ST livery with the IR logo tacked on.

Medication time, JHB...

I thought you were gonna post a picture of JHB when I saw the caption.

Wow, looks kind of like a broken down old-timey bus, but at least they knew that railcars were the heart of the railways!

LOL, so quick to knock what was once a pioneering model... What will you be saying about the A Class in two years time (when IRM release their 22000's)???

Never know, we could be lucky and have the 22000's in model form one day. For now, we can but silently hope.

Four hours to go until medication. I'll post a picture when it happens.

Pfft. He meant CAF Mk4's and 29000 DMU's, duh.

I'm getting this wierd deja-vu feeling. Isn't there a thread about what determines a re-run, covering the same topic, more or less? Maybe a mod could merge the two?

He obviously has a load of them stashed for gouging!
