Not specifically railway related but plenty of O Gauge trucks going cheap at CK: https://ck-modelcars.de/en/l/t-gesamt/a-18/ The “tuning” theme may not float your boat but they’d make great respray donors. Plus, the code XMAS25, valid until January 6th, gets you an additional 20% off, even on products already on offer. They have some smashing 1/18 cars, too. Those widebody M3’s from Otto…

IRM A Class no. 027 in SuperTrain livery, current highest bid €102 EURO, listing finishes in seven days: https://www.ebay.es/itm/227153167493 Murphy Models 141 Class no. 141 kn preserved black livery, DCC fitted, €240 EURO: https://www.ebay.es/itm/205906489428 Rails do have a few used 141’s listed, but as they’re more expensive than the in-stock second run, I haven’t bothered posting them. Bachmann N Class / K1A / Woolwich / Mogul, un-numbered, €52 EURO, zero bids, finishes in seven days: https://www.ebay.es/itm/227152979439 Worth highlighting that all three are UK based sellers so final price will probably be 25% higher for EU buyers.

Murphy Models 121 Class no. B135 in CIE grey and yellow livery for £160 GBP from Rails of Sheffield: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/murphy-models-mm0135-po-pre-owned-irish-class-121-b135-in-cie-original-grey-livery-diesel-locomotive Murphy Models 121 Class no. B121 in CIE grey and yellow livery for £170 GBP from Rails of Sheffield: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/pre-owned-cie-grey-class-121-diesel-locomotive Both more suited to UK buyers, I’m afraid.

No speed issues last night nor this morning. Notifications not working but that may be a simple fix by posting something to reactivate them - this will be my first post-migration post.

And this:

It’s a bit faster the past few minutes. Was woeful for an hour or two before midnight.

Forum brutally slow the last few hours. @BosKonay must be winding it down before merging it with RMW! Happy New Year everybody!

Probably one of IRM / Accurascale’s best locos. No loose bits in any of the three boxes, nice bit of weight to the locos themselves, and the level of detail is top notch. The 201’s are lambasted as “peat briquettes” by some of the begrudgers on here, but looking at an IRM / A/S Class 66 up close throws that insult right out the door. Savage looking models!

Don’t worry, Valencia is just as far from Canarias as Laois, for all intents and purposes, so you’re safe… For now!

Three variants of the Heljan O Gauge Mk2 coach range now on offer at £166 GBP plus VAT, so £34 GBP cheaper than the rest of the range That includes an FK: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/heljan-2431-network-southeast-light-blue-mk2-first-corridor-fk-passenger-coach https://railsofsheffield.com/products/heljan-2411-network-southeast-mk2-brake-second-open-bso https://railsofsheffield.com/products/heljan-2412-network-southeast-dark-blue-mk2-brake-second-open-bso

A box of AccuraJoy arrived the other day…

Feck your horse, I’ve a Honda Civic outside. Out with your claws, Leslie… Just like a cat!

If I was, they’d be on the ground already!

My Christmas tree, or the closest thing possible:

Tried just before 2300h and it was painfully slow. Again now at 0230h, so slow that some icons etc don’t even load.

Contact Silver Fox and ask them directly. They had stopped doing the DVT’s last I heard, and were experimenting with new materials. With Murphy Models’ Mk3’s likely in the near future, including Suburban variants, and no DVT, it may be the right time for Silver Fox to run a batch of then.

Well, Merry Christmas to all on the forum! Best wishes to you, your families and friends. White-ish Christmas this year, but more investigation remains to be done.

Hit and miss today. Right now, it’s grand, and has been so for an hour or two at least, but was dog-rough earlier today.

Just stunning, @JasonB!!!

I heard a little rumour today that these are likely to arrive in the next three months!

I wonder if there is any way of somehow using the cosmetic bogie frames, not yours in particular, just in general, to create O Gauge equivalents?

Another Little-and-Large” duo, featuring the Hatton’s H7-A4-005 O Gauge A4, Bittern, finally!

The odd Guinness on the workbench is OK, though!
