    ...IF I'm lucky, you mean! Still waiting for my Bus Eireann MetroRiders!

    Nice little CMA CGM reefer parked off the TF1 at the Chio roundabout just now.

    That's motorboating that you're thinking of. We don't go in for any backdoor shenanigans, here.

    Shipping notification early this morning. That was quick!

    Roll on an early Tara Junction video this week!

    I'd guess that they have commissioned the models from a manufacturer who have the tooling in that scale already, but your best bet is to contact Retro Models and ask. I'd also hazzard a guess that commissioning a bus requiring completely new tooling, ie a VDL in 1/76, would be cost prohibitive relative to the market. I've pre-ordered, as I'm sure they'll look savage when set back a little from other models.

    That sound is just awesome!!!!! Fair play for finding a way, never doubted you guys. Was it taken from a video clip and cleaned up? Whatever it was, it's lovely to listen to.

    Can't beat a nice orange 071! Speaking of... 085 getting the last few wagons ready before taking off into the sunset with the liner:

    The Oxford / Atlas curtainsiders aren't bad either. Probably 1mm short each end, but passable nonetheless. The bottom of the Hornby 40' pops out just like the C-Rail 40', and they sit around what would otherwise be an awkward surface.

    How close are the seacows to the NIR ballast hoppers? They look incredible!

    Removing the bodies to make container trucks. The Ford Cargo is the easiest, perfect size, has a bed, just take the base off a C-Rail container and you're done. The Scanias and the Oxford TK need beds made for them. The two white EFE TK's were riveted together so out with the drill. Everything else was just held together with screws. I pick these trucks up from Hatton's whenever they have cheap used ones for £7 or so each.

    LokPilots are only €12,50? I thought they were around €30? Meh, the lighting doesn't bother me at the moment. Not enough to add €10 to €30 to the price of a loco. Probably WILL bother me in the future, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

    DCC is kind of over-budget for me at this point in time. When it comes down to an extra wagon vs. a LP, or an extra pack vs. A LS, my money goes on the stock. I hope to go limited-DCC one day soon, but the majority will stay DC. In this weather, DCC sun visors would be more useful than DCC lighting.

    Couldn't resist trying the Genesis coaches in the dark. I'd say they'd be awesome on DCC with a constant power supply.

    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...
  19. DJ Dangerous
    Received a little parcel from @WRENNEIRE the other day... Have another one yet to open, but that's for another day...
  20. DJ Dangerous
    Exactly what I was thinking! Toot toot!

    Found this older layout thread today. Some lovely stuff, particularly the Scalescenes ground prints!
  22. DJ Dangerous
    Looks great in the red! Is the LUAS 1435mm gauge?
  23. DJ Dangerous
    Not my fault, that loco is too quiet!
  24. DJ Dangerous
    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" ...
