    That’d be a huge shame, so fingers crossed. It doesn’t sound like they’re in tooling yet, based on Rails of Sheffield’s wording and the lack of pricing info.

    They can only learn from this for the 47. I’m now even more keen to see my 60’s!

    Just found it as you posted this - I had been looking at the Cavalex Class 60 thread, not the A/S one! Looks like the Cavalex Class 60 body sits too low on the chassis, compared to the A/S and Hornby models. Needs to be lifted up maybe 2mm with some kind of bracing to match the others. The Heljan Class 47 gets lumps kicked out of it for being too “tubby” and the Bachmann 47 for being crap inside for upgrades, having poor driving characteristics, and undesireable livery options. Hopefully, Cavalex get the 47 right, avoiding all of these pitfalls.

    Mine can’t be far off, so! RMW is a pain for finding stuff, but will keep digging.

    Have you booked your ferry tickets, yet?

    A/S Class 60’s must be about to ship soon? Don’t have a Hornby one, so it will be Cavalex and A/S side by side. Some discussion on RMW of roof profiles. Some people say the Cavalex isn’t bulbous enough. Some people say the Hornby is too bulbous. Some say it’s the perspective of the image.

    That’ll do, that’ll do… Although, if somebody could sneak in at night and change the plans to SuperTrain, I wouldn’t complain. Or 071 / B134 style freight grey.

    Are Cavalex that bad for accuracy overall? My Class 60 hasn’t arrived yet so I can’t comment on that, but aside from the 56 bogies, I don’t remember seeing much else on RMW - although I have to admit that the volume of posts in there makes it hard to keep up. What would the other stand-outs be?
  10. DJ Dangerous
    I probably won’t bother with another 56 either way, re-tooled or not. So, by the time the 47 arrives, the Bachmann and Heljan models will be long sold-out. At least they got the timing perfect!

    On a Sunday. And on holidays. Say thank you, @Mol_PMB!

    I’ve gotten used to the look of my 56 now so the milimetre no longer bothers me. Think they announced another run of the 56’s a while back but not sure. A 47 in Intercity Executive livery will be smashing, but I’m waiting to see what the RMW vultures make of the Engineering Prototypes before ordering.

    Cavalex Models have announced a Class 47 in OO Gauge. If it turns out anything like their Class 56, I’m sold. Available to pre-order from Rails of Sheffield. Pricing not announced, as far as I can see.

    216 still in Belmond livery??? Prime candidate for an experimental SuperTrain livery so! Hint hint, @ttc0169…

    @Sean, do smaller drones have to follow the 1:1 horizontal distance : altitude rule? Mine’s an older 1400g C2 / A2 class, and I’m obliged to maintain a horizontal distance no less than the altitude above terrain.

    I was getting the shakes this morning with the forum offline. I’ve eaten several packets of peanuts and chewed my fingernails down to stubs. Image upload was broken last night so I assume it was related to fixing that. Thanks, @BosKonay!

    Found the Irish map: https://www.uaai.ie/airspace-map Lots of no-fly zones! Can’t upload a screenshot, image upload keeps failing, but I’m seeing a lot of red zones.

    Also acceptable, but you can never have too many buses.
  20. DJ Dangerous
    Genius? Didn’t you mean to say “That’s super, man”?

    Everybody’s favourite, Gostude, has a little Dapol Irish wagon for €97: https://www.ebay.es/itm/334716041371 And for €102: https://www.ebay.es/itm/365725504567 Probably a little exaggerated, since the unpainted Dapol A017 ones were around €10 new.
  22. DJ Dangerous
    No guesses?
  23. DJ Dangerous
    I think it’s a question of getting what you pay for…
  24. DJ Dangerous
    Millipede / Gerry Hoey has a Mk3 DVT for sale on Adverts.ie. Wonder if @Ryan ever got one in the end…
  25. DJ Dangerous
    You should buy a few more buses and make a little street.
