  1. Aul' @JasonB is very quiet... Wonder if he has any new 1:18 monsters to share. Might highjack his thread for some of my own 1:18 stuff if he doesn't get his act together.
  2. Wait, what? The 1945-1950 maroon coaches are already available? I thought JHB was just gauging interest?
  3. When I go to the Chinese, the chicken curry and egg fried rice come together, and I like my trains like my Chinese. All delivered together and loaded with MSG and chilli.
  4. Sorry, I should have been more specific, but @GSR 800 and @Galteemore have already jumped in to clarify and answer. Thanks for that, guys.
  5. And the red variant for comparison:
  6. And if only YOU knew somebody who could bribe IRM with lemon cookies! I'd probably buy one or two coaches, but it's quite a restrictive period as regards pulling power. Now, if Hatton's were to launch them AFTER an IRM steam loco had been formally announced, that would change my perspective. Are the Hattons Genesis range 21mm-friendly? Sorry if that's already been asked / answered, too lazy to go back over the thread.
  7. Renault R420 with MSC 20' boxes, again on a butchered Edicola / Salvat trailer. Can't decide whether the trailers look better with or without the wheel arches. Must dig out the red R420, too. Enjoy!
  8. A few pics without the unrealistic blue sky. Been very lucky to pick up some of @leslie10646's new vans, along with some of @Mayner's wagons and brakevans, and even an older @Marks Models van from @Westcorkrailway! The likes of the @JasonB and the grey-steam-era brigade must be foaming at the mouth with jealousy.
  9. If I may respond, point by point... 1. Six creatively placed wagons! 2. Creatively placed camera and no layout! 3.
  10. Want me to upload a photo?
  11. Great to see the work unfolding before our very eyes. Some very shiny looking orange and black coaches nestled away on Platform 3. Are the track panels held together using those bits of metal while in storage, as wood would rot?
  12. Sorry, @Angus, I kind of went for broad strokes to keep it simple. I'm sure each broad category could also be broken down further. I assume you're one of the two "elitists" in the "Other" category, as you've specified here. The poll is just to get a general feel for things. I'm sure that @BosKonay can add a few categories further down the line, when the "Other" category warrants it. Probably not worth it just yet with only two members selecting it.
  13. Sorry, @Galteemore, I kind of went for broad strokes to keep it simple. I'm sure N Gauge could also be broken down into 1:144 and 1:150, while OO Gauge could be 16,5mm, 18,2mm, 20,2mm, 21mm etc. Just to get a general feel for things. I'm assuming it'll be 90% OO Gauge, 5% N Gauge, 5% O Gauge, 1% others, with a 1% margin of error.
  14. So, @JasonB's 1/18 post HERE, and the lack of interest on the O Gauge vehicle thread HERE, got me wondering aboit what scales and gauges people model Irish railways in? Trying to add a poll but not sure if I'll get it right! I have created a poll but the forum seems to be asking me to choose this post or the poll. The options, I guess, are: N Gauge HO Gauge (wink wink, @murphaph!) OO Gauge O Gauge Gauge 1 Other (please specify) Anything anybody wishes to add, please do so!
  15. Sorry, wrong one, was rushing. https://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=11520
  16. Nice one, @derek, that's bang on! These any use? https://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=16306 In stock with Marks Models.
  17. Received an email from IRM today saying that "pre-orders have been massive and some of the variants are approaching 50% sold already!" No excuses and no sitting on the fence, get your plastic or your cheque book out and get splurging! Also, @Warbonnet, you mis-spelled "beet" in the thread title.
  18. Wow, a Kingsbridge video from almost a DECADE ago! How things have changed these past ten years. You know, it feels like the older I get, the faster time passes.
  19. A few pics taken last night:
  20. Cheers, @Rob. Nice to be able to run something every now and then, even if it's just a simple back and forth before going asleep.
  21. Gave 187 another run last night. Crappy lighting again, but it is what it is.
  22. I'll get a rainy one for you some day soon, I'm sure of it!
  23. Anybody know what the melting point for these wagons is?
