Never "saw" that one coming. Four hours to go!

Ten and three quarter hours to go...

Found the ad. Sonic boom of a price, anyway: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/vintage-lima-l305340-cie-irish-railways-restaurant-coach-very-rare/31903093 Who does the correct Mk3 sides? SSM or Mousa / Bill Bedford or somebody else?

Twelve odd hours to go. Sweating and biting my nails already.

I hope that everybody who goes to your stand says "I'm WestCorkRailway"!

Is that Billy?

Or both very far away AND very small!

Joke's on them. None of them took the time to open the boxes. All of those dickie Tara's were bogie-less, and they'll have to come back this weekend to buy the bogies.

So I assume after fifty years, everybody has a boat stored, ready to go.

I'm quite sure that in a previous post, we were told that there would be AT LEAST one announcement, so who knows, could be a J15 towing oil wagons under a footbridge. 17 odd hours to go, roll on half twelve! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/blogs/announcements

Amazed that this set hasn't gone yet, people were clambering all over each other for them a while back! One or two other Adverts.ie bargains: IR Livery Mk2A no. 4102 for €65: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/murphy-models-mk2a/31377225 IR Livery Mk2A no. 4101 for €65: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/murphy-models-mk2a/31377191 Murphy Models Enterprise livery 201 no. 230 for €245: https://touch.adverts.ie/models/murphy-models-201/31405776

Can you clarify the approx sq km of the big island and the very small island, please? Relative to 2000 sq km and a population of just under a million, in the middle of nowhere.

Anything that I ordered before the cyber attack shipped from Dublin, the 37 being pretty recent, no problems at all. One or two went back and forth a few times due to missing CN23's but they still got here in the end. It's just the newer AS stuff tends not to be listed on the IRM site, only on the AS site. Just to be transparent, we've been in touch several times since the attack, and the lads are working on making Royal Mail services available again. Probably no impact on Ireland as there are lots of Anglo-Irish shipping options, but it's different down here. Unique situation I guess.

Thanks for letting us know. Very sad. May he rest in peace. We're there two different Lexie's, Tynan and Keady, involved with Lima?

A couple of Murphy Models 121's on Adverts.ie, €180 to €200 each: https://touch.adverts.ie/models/murphy-models-mm0314/31905057 https://touch.adverts.ie/models/murphy-models-mm0134/31905070 https://touch.adverts.ie/models/murphy-models/31905151 https://touch.adverts.ie/models/murphy-models/31905117 Some RPSI Mk2's from a man that we all know: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/rpsi-coaches/31904533 Murphy Models 190SA - €350 sounds insane so I assume the "DCC fitted" bit means a LokPilot V5 and twin speaker set-up! https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/bachmann-murphy-models-oo-gauge-mm0190-cie-class-181-190sa-diesel-locomotive/31823403

Now with the "layout" (I use that term very loosely) clear of everything that has gone into the new IKEA cabinet... Cookham Manor looks on in dismay at the hulking form of a dangerously powerful looking 113 in the distance...

Pity you live so far away, you'll never ever ever have the opportunity to visit.

Here's a link to Belmullet, for anybody interested. Wow, what a layout!

Have just caught up on Belmullet, after seeing the post in the trade section offering the layout free to a good home. Aside from being mind-blowingly good to look at, the behind-the-scenes info on the preparation for a show is a real eye-opener. I don't think I'd have appreciated just what goes into exhibiting a layout! Thank you for this wonderful layout. Whoever offers it a home will be very very lucky, whether they're a seasoned builder like yourself, or just a railway fanatic who buys one or two locos from you to run on it.

My first thought was an army tank on a flat wagon! Never mind that, what happened to the wagons that ran on them???

That looks really really excellent! The sandy lane in particular looks so realistic.

Accurascale, in proud partnership with IKEA, present... The AccuraShelf!

What sort of radius are the two loops? I was thinking that this may have been a solution but was struggling to judge the space. Is there an upper level track?

Accurascale have temporarily stopped posting here since the Royal Mail cyber attack, so I can't buy from them directly. It's only temporary, not permanent, so I'll be able to buy from them again in the future.
