  1. Wow, awesome photos, thank you! Soooooo... When are IRM launching the 47' flats???
  2. With thanks to @Arran for the containers!!!
  3. Thanks, Noel! So when my grey 078 arrives in a week or two, she can haul 42' flats with a mix 9'6" high cubes and 8'6" boxes, and that will be a relatively accurate representation of today? Or the 9'6" highcubes only go on 47' flats and not 42' flats?
  4. Why are they out of service, and since when? Are the 9'6" highcubes now going on the standard 47' flats, or by road? Are all of the 42' flats retired or repurposed, or are any still on container trains?
  5. Are the pocket wagons retired? I never see them on YouTube videos any more.
  6. It has been a crazy few months, but I hope to get them run again over the next week or two. A proper session with a bit more variety and a few more 121's unboxed.
  7. First chance to run any trains in about four months, now!
  8. They were the black and white years, not the golden years.
  9. Sounds like we have a deal!
  10. Deadly. When you get your vaccine passport, you can fly a few thousand km down here to weather a few hundred wagons, coaches and locos... No cash payment, only sunshine.
  11. The lids look excellent!
  12. How about a 29000 in black with red lining?
  13. Laminates were retired in the mid eighties, I think? So they're ten years short of the golden years of Irish Railways in the mid nineties! I'm sure that there was a wonderful thread in 2015 or 2016 on the pros and cons of the IFM laminates, which made the most interesting reading for a lurker, and encouraged me to avoid signing up to the forum for several years. Either way, RTR Laminates are already out there, so it's time for Mk4's, then Mk3's and then Park Royals!
  14. Aw. That sounds a little illogical to me. Why drive two vehicles somewhere (a loco and a road tanker) when you could do it with just one vehicle, the loco, by hitching an oil wagon onto the back of a train?
  15. What carries the oil between the three nowadays?
  16. Yeah, we're starved for RTR passenger stock at the moment. Park Royals cover the whole life of the A Class, from the fifties until the nineties, so would be great for many folk. I'm pleasantly surprised at the demand for the trains of today! The most modern era is the one that fascinates me the most, but I don't see many here on the forum talk about it.
  17. Cue @jhb171achill to confirm or debunk that!
  18. Parallel to the iminent A Class, funnily enough!
  19. Try Chris Dyer. Chris often finds little gems and they don't hang around long when he does. Don't forget that some of the classic coaching stock ran until the nineties, so we're talking fifties to nineties, not just fifties to seventies.
  20. More 071's and 141's on the way with Mk3 and Mk4 coaching stock, yay! Passenger stock for the win!!!
  21. Is that an oil train that you're building, by the loco depot?
  22. This eBay seller, Adrian Lemon, often has Dublin Bus models for sale. Adrian Lemon and Derek Farrelly, I think, are behind some of the special BritBus commissions.
  23. What's the silver one underneath the Mk3 Escort? Very unusual curve to the bonnet.
  24. Do I see a Mk3 Escort and a Volvo 850 in there?
