Murphy Models 078 shunting some SE&CR Hatton's Genesis coaches back and forth. First time running any trains in quite a while.

Absolutely love the 121 double-header! Great to see the 2600 running, even if it was only for a second. What's that hiding behind the last platform? Outstanding video as always. A day late, you ruined my Friday with no video, but this was good enough to make up for it.

You hear them knockin'...

Unbranded EG8 / EH9 1993 Honda Civic saloon, picked up from eBay...

Received a little parcel from @WRENNEIRE the other day... Have another one yet to open, but that's for another day...

I always preferred "Joyride" with that same movie sample from "Good Shot" by Hands Burn... Once the trucks are well protected, you'll be grand...

Ah, forget Story Mode, it's all about Online Mode! Remember trying to run down the whole row of guys in tracksuits! Used to take the CD out of the PC as soon as the game had loaded and pop in "World of House" instead.

Now that I think about it, they should get themselves PS5's and GTA Online... @Sean and @Branchline121 are GTA veterans so will back me up here. There are a couple of updates per year, new rewards and new challenges (just like IRM) so you never actually "finish" the game, you just grow old and die trying (just like collecting IRM stuff)...

Exactly what I was thinking! Toot toot!

Or that they can't decide which 20' to open first, of the few that have been sitting in the yard the past twelve months; the O Gauge A Class, the Project 47, the B&I Ferry, the GSR 800, or the two-tone green Dublin Bus one.

Found this older layout thread today. Some lovely stuff, particularly the Scalescenes ground prints!

Looks great in the red! Is the LUAS 1435mm gauge?

Seeing a spike in forum participation from the IRM lads this week... Is that a hint that the countdown to the countdown timer is already ticking in the background?

Not my fault, that loco is too quiet!

Just wondering if it would be an idea to add a "Container Models and Prototypes" subsection to the "Railway Related Modelling" section of the forum and move the various container-based threads in there? At the moment, each container thread gets very convoluted, possibly because the poor things are homeless here on the forum.

Maybe that's what they mean by a "smoke generator" ...

Miserable bar stewards. Any links to the juicy items? EDIT, found four: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204394590369 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195875006320 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204394590372 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134650798781 All repaints / conversions. EDIT: And an IE livery 141: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204394590455

Romance scams? Pick out the lonelist, most pathetic poster, then PM them. "Hi, I'm double-d Svetlana, blah blah blah" ... Or use the PM facility for nefarious purposes, unrelated to the forum, like planning an assasination? Like the London rioters ten or fifteen years ago used BBM to avoid detection. Or as @Broithe says, the plan is to post, then edit in a malicious link, but they see it's pointless with us off-topic-ers and don't bother. Or just to see members forum signatures and harvest personal info? I dunno, just looking for logic.

Likewise with this forum, there may be ten or twenty members online, the rest guests. That's not to suggest any malice, the forum is quite often featured in my search results online when not logged in, and I imagine the same for many others. Interesting trick on the editing of the posts. Probably won't get away with it here because no matter what gets posted, no more how innocuous, it'll get spammed with off topic stuff on tin vans and chiropractors and "when I was young" posts... I must wrack my brain for some more profiles like these. Usually no activity and too many consonants / double consonants in the name, and usually only one of them logged in at any one time.

Just wondering about suspicious looking profiles on the forum. One or two are obviously members with duplicates, but some look like maybe bots or something. This is just one example, but the bot type ones all look the same. What's their agenda? https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/profile/2501-svetlxvv/

So no need to visit the chiropractor after each trip?

What will you do for glazing?

Will @WRENNEIRE be there with some crazy secret stash? Or a brand new 141 EP?

Mrs. Snail might be happy to accept the house burning down if it means getting rid of those damn trains! Not disagreeing on price, it's a massive massive jump! Think that the sound fitted Accurascale 92's were around €335, and having a non-sound model, or two, or whatever, I can vouch for them being incredible:

Sleeping in the bath, happy memories!
