That 800 Class looks excellent, @Killian Keane!

I want to click the "Like" icon, the "Laughing" icon, the "Agree" icon, and give you a medal. Whiff of @Fowler4f and his many profiles off that cross @Crossley introduction. From speaking with Rails on and off, they sound like they have their hands full. Maybe they should have just cancelled the whole Genesis project to apease the one or two moaners, and to Hell with the rest of us...

Now I get the post in @Metrovik's thread! Where are the blocks and ply gone??? Are these two seperate lines in the garden, or the same track re-purposed for the temporary test loop? Looking forward to the videos either way, great stuff!

A quick picture of the 1:18 display:

If only we knew a man...

Less divergent from the feline thread, Kit KAT had a few classic ads:

I was wrong. It was Lemsip, not Beecham's:

I know, but it could be worse, starting with PA or having a 77 in there somewhere. Managed to find one or two of the classic ECS ones from classic Dapol, but wouldn't say no to some more...

There were plenty of duds back then, too, but the odd gem like that one. And the laughing Beecham's Lemon policeman!

Clearly!

€90-ish, but you'll get more on eBay.

I'm in!

Grey matter, just like armadillos, smooth on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Armadillos!

Which is marketing which, though?

The contented hunter's sleep...

One of the containers made a decent enough landing, so all may not have been lost...

I'm in for a lot of luck this weekend: Good luck or bad luck, I don't know, but a lot of luck either way.

Excellent! I have an un-rebuilt twin-stripe Dutch Van and was confused as to what it ran with and when!

So, are the H Vans and Grain Hoppers still on schedule, or will there be a slight delay? Because, you know: https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/ce31y2q76lko

I’m not great on helicopter models but it looks to be an AgustaWestland AW139. https://www.vesselfinder.com/es/vessels/details/111224501 https://www.myshiptracking.com/vessels/helimer-201-mmsi-111224501-imo-0 https://www.helis.com/database/cn/4227/ I like the older ECS branding a lot better. If only there were a model railway company out there who had the power to launch a range of non-fuzzy 45’ containers in both O and OO gauge… Oh well! Passing the Chio roundabout on the way to the vets yesterday evening and saw a Hamburg Sud 45R1 reefer, no. SUDU-8116531.

That’s a fabulous price, specially given how much they usually go for on eBay. You’re talking hundreds. Great to see some non-gouging prices lately.

Well if that ain’t the pot calling the kettle black!

Cats and models, a recipe for success!

Great find, @Anders112! So this is the livery that CIE weren’t happy with when the locos landed? And is represented on Murphy Models 088?

In real life, did the Dutch vans receive their twin white stripes prior to, or during, the rebuild for use with the Vic Berry Mk2’s?
