DJ Dangerous

So, is it true? I looked at the video on Tik Tok but it shows 073 in orange and black livery, not grey. I'd have expected one of the forum's 071 class titans like @ttc0169, @MOGUL or @Rob to have let us know! Screenshots from video:

P.S.: I'm sure that there is "somebody" viewing this thread at this very moment, just dying to troll us about IRM re-runs, but can't do so due to his scold's bridle and recently broken fingers, thanks to a hurley kept under the counter at the IRM stand.

Nearly sure that aul' Billy from Adverts.ie had the same wagon listed on eBay at the same price a few days ago. Billy buys anything Irish on Adverts.ie, then lists it for twice the price on eBay. His stuff rarely sells, so he's probably hemorrhaging a lot of cash.

Somebody, possibly @jhb171achill, told me about a conversion like this before. Hopefully, whoever it was sees this and chimes in.

I never got that email, so thanks for letting the good folk here on the forum know. Mine are still "in transit", boooooooooooooo! You mean two-tone green, Silly! How common were Dublin Atlanteans in Cork anyway?

As with the IRM wagons, try sending a PM to @WRENNEIRE and emailing Chris Dyer. Also worth periodically checking Adverts.ie, and adding them to your Hatton's wishlist. They vary in price at Hatton's, sometimes surprisingly cheap and sometimes overly expensive. Paddy Murphy did say the he may consider another run of Cravens, here, so it may be worth hanging on a year or two to see what happens. With any luck, that will tie in with another pack of RPSI Cravens - or two packs, a blue pack and a blue and cream pack!

Try sending @WRENNEIRE a message, he often knows things and sees things and hears things... Also, try sending Chris Dyer an email, another gent who comes across treasure troves from time to time. Worth checking Adverts.ie periodically, they do appear every now and then for less than they would on eBay. Just to clarify, much as he's a nasty piece of work, that DJD character, the Lyons tea was for sharing!

What's the closest thing to a Sambre et Meuse Y33 bogie in O Gauge? The Dapol Turbot wagons are lovely but the bogies look funky compared to the Y33's on the IRM Flats.

A few different Hapag Lloyd boxes. Disappointing Dapol 20' with print layers not lining up. Two of @Arran's lovely C-Rail 40' boxes, an 8'6" and a 9'6" High Cube. 1:48 scale unbranded 40' x 9'6" High Cube from eBay. I have quite a few of these in different liveries, and aside from the first order being damaged in transit due to poor packaging, they're excellent O Gauge boxes. Have a few more pics to take later, will add when I can.

Dapol Dong Fang 20' box. Print quality is not as bad as usual, love the opening doors, not a fan of the moulded body-coloured locking bars. Thanks to @MOGUL for letting me know about these! Any info or phoros that anybody would like to share, eras, routes, contents etc, please feel free to do so!

The tunnel faces are incredible, @derek! The moss really adds to the overall impact.

Just lovely. The loco, the livery, the layout, the atmosphere!

Of all the people on all the threads, there's no better man to speculate on some Provincial Wagons releases! That's something to look forward to! Lovely shot, @Bob229. The carpark is particularly nice. The spacing, the lack of clutter, also very evident on @Rob's Heuston North (no Heuston North updates nor North Wall photos lately, @Rob???) is great. We tend to try cram as much as possible in and it often feels very cluttered and unrealistic, but you two have nailed it perfectly. Picked up two four-car 29000's from Chris a while back, the first four-car units he ever did, but the paintwork was abysmal. Chris retired before we could do anythinbg about it, so I'm stuck with them. I think that the paintwork on his later commissions suffered as his painters were overworked. Some of the earlier examples like yours look excellent!

Definitely don't want any if they come with Crapol's worst print!

Thanks, @MOGUL! 225 was out of action for almost a decade after hitting that tractor on the level crossing? Was the damage that bad or was it more because there was a fatality involved? So there are 12 of the 34 stored at the moment? 201 202 203 204 205 210 211 212 213 214 224 (Cracked frame) 230 (Fire damage)

What's the status of the 201 fleet these days? There were ten (?) in storage according to earlier posts in this thread. One of the in-service locos (224?) suffered a cracked frame, but also sure that one of the mothballed ones (230?) was brought back into service? Stored as of October 2018 according to @Railer's photo and @ttc0169's photo: 201 202 203 205 210 212 214 Wikipedia also lists the following as being stored: 204 211 213 Basically the non-push-pull-equipped locos, 201 - 205 and 210-214. Wikipedia also states that 230 has been in storage since July 2017: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IE_201_Class

Are you gonna make me do all the work on that one, too, quoting you into this thread, or are you gonna do it yourself for a change?

Fair enough... So, if we don't have 45' IWT containers in 1/76 with decent print, this year, it's all @MOGUL's fault!

A 2600 would be lovely alright!

I reckon that they could have worked that green into quite a nice livery, with a few changes. So, freight grey would be tops, A46 lined green would be nice, black and tan would merit consideration, but with the full yellow faces it'd be hard to tell the delivery livery from the subsequent one.

First!

Speaking of phrasing, while veering wildly off topic:

Not necessarily awful, but maybe a little unfinished looking.

That's a lot to choke down over the next few years! Why did I think the ICR sets were 2025? Better get them paid off! Accurascale ranges featuring IRM elements, now that sounds very interesting. Mk1 BCK's / BSK's maybe! Or British Container Flats with Lyons Tea boxes!
