A bit of discussion on ther liveries here, @DiveController, as per your question in the other 22000 thread.

That's it, it's nostalgia gold! Great stuff!

Something about the colours, not sure if it's the shades used, but it takes me way back to my childhood.

Excellent job painting those figures! Wow! And lovely work on that Jag! Also wow! No buses or Stobart trucks nearby?

Savage amount of work going on!!!

Nose-first running???

With the car, I tend to fill the tank all the way up, and run it all the way down. The consumption per tank gives me a good idea that everything is OK. With the electric van, I try not to let the battery drop below about a third, but it's impossible to keep it fully charged all the time. With the 'phone, which is six odd years old, the battery sometimes struggles to keep going for a fifteen or twenty hour day. Days off work etc are easier.

Doesn't look like it's getting harder for you to post.

I try really hard not to let mine charge over 80% or drop below 30%, but at times, yeah, down to the red!

Please accept my facetiously offered apologies, I forgot that I need to spell everything out for you. See, at the bottom of your 'phone, there's a little rectangular hole with rounded corners. It's often called a charging port. If you connect an appropriate cable, the little number 43 on the top right of your screen will start to climb, aaaallllllllll the way up to 100. That's the battery level for your 'phone, and yours is almost as bad as mine. The closer to 100, the healthier your 'phone's battery. Also, if you make a swiping gesture downwards from the top of your screen, you'll see an expanded version of your Instagram notification, the one that's in the top left. You posted a screenshot of a photo of a mural, so these things are clear to see. With the utmost sincerity, and a grovelling apology for my misdemeanour, I hope that you now have a better understanding of my joke.

Charge your damn 'phone and deal with your Instagram notifications!

@Warbonnet said: So it sounds like the tanks from the 17' Bulleid triangulated chassis were transferred to 20' Flats at some stage.

Will IRM be replenishing their supply of 071 decoders at any stage?

Always worth keeping an eye on the Silver Fox eBay page. Aside from those GNR coaches, they also have Dutch vans, and we'll all need Dutch vans for our IRM Mk2B/C packs next year! Lots of Jouef Mk3's, too, and lots of spares. Silver Fox: https://www.ebay.es/sch/i.html?_ssn=skmodeller&store_name=silverfoxmodels Even though this guy here is a gouger, he does list some Irish things that are worth looking at, if not buying, although his descriptions tend to be rather creative: https://www.ebay.es/sch/i.html?sid=debjogilly

So they were 17' wagons and carried: Single beet bodies. H van bodies. Palvan bodies. Flat bodies. Tank bodies, as per @Warbonnet's post here:

We're actually at a milestone this past year, with Irish rolling stock on the shelves permanently in some form - the blue Taras and the Magnesites. We're also seeing new locos launch every year or two.

Although, in all fairness to Noel, he frequently mentions getting into the hobby by chance around the time of the financial crash of 2008, during a visit to Malahide Castle. If one were to get stuck in that austerity mindset, it's easy to understand him not seeing how the market is changing and growing. I say this with all seriousness, but in ten or twenty years time, I see RTR O Gauge from IRM, as the market evolves further, and our eyesight deteriorates.

Oh my God, thank you so much, I love you!

DHL doesn't show up for me. It just says something to the effect of "Sorry, we don't ship to this destination" when I try calculating shipping or buying. Sorry that the screenshot was in Spanish, it keeps changing to Spanish for me. I'll try get an English screenshot. Again, sorry about the Spanish, it just keeps happening. OK, on the mobile, it stays in English!

Oh come on, that was worth the effort and deserved a like and a giggle!

Just for fun, and I mean no offence here, but....

No international postage available since the Royal Mail Cyber Attack, so I'm looking for alternatives. There are so many variants of the Next18 LokPilot that I'm confused. Looks like 59118 and 59128 are the two main ones but I can't see on the AS site which it is. Although, I must say that Accurascale branching out and selling tampons and advertising personal trainers is a great cross-merchandising exercise, very impressed:
