I’ll give you a hint, IRM style…
-
OK, OK, as of this evening, I’m finished with them… For now…
-
Knowing your usual progress, @Darius43, I thought that this layout would be finished by now, have had several days running, and have been sold off!
-
That works! I was trying “str” as the prefix, not “usr”.
-
It’s been that way down here for many years, now. The only ways to mitigate the handling fee / surcharge have been to avoid DHL at all costs, as they charge triple what other carriers charge, and to combine orders where possible. I understand that this isn’t always possible, but @MOGUL managed to combine / group three of my orders for shipping together early this year, so I only had to pay one handling fee.

New Dublin Bus Volvo VT47 from Brian Collins!

Absolutely fabulous, @JasonB! The display plynth / plinth is a lovely idea, too. -
Park Royal update due soon enough:

Try contacting @WRENNEIRE and @Stoby here on the forum. Mark’s Models have 141’s and 181’s. Rails of Sheffield have 141’s and 181’s in stock, and the occasional 121. Lots and lots of 121’s on eBay. Try the Bray monthly show, too.

With the direction that RTR pricing is currently heading, I suspect that many middle-aged buyers are likely to be pushed out of the hobby to an extent, only to return in twenty or thirty years time, when retired, going the kit / scratch route.

If you’re interested, buy it now and keep it until your layout is ready. N Gauge is tiny, not like it’s going to take up much space.

Spanish law, assuming Irish law is similar, has no-fly zones and restricted zones published in real time on the EnAire website. I’d assume there is an Irish equivalent. Aside from that, no flying within 300m horizontal distance of people, buildings etc, no flying over urban centres etc. Fines are pretty hefty:

No surprises there, he is very very unstable. AccuraKits?

A 51% stake in Accurascale!

Apples and oranges. Comparing extreme poverty to any standard of living, even living paycheck to paycheck, will make it appear “wealthy”. Likewise, comparing somebody living paycheck to paycheck, to somebody with an electric Porsce, changes that dynamic. Comparing the electric Porsche driver to Jeff Bezos changes it again. So, I’d say yes, it comes across as a very broad generalisation.

That’s why private and paywalled collections are going to be so valuable in the future. We haven’t been given the context for this photo. Quite possible that the original poster was openly displaying their AI generated work and asking for opinions. A different hobby, but this video analysis shows just how such initial honesty and openness can be twisted, misused or taken out of context:
-
The idea was that by using a specific carrier (possibly Royal Mail?), there was a high probability of the item being delivered tax-free. Several months back, I think it was USPS, said that they didn’t have the manpower so were letting parcels under a certain value slip by without charging the taxes that the buyer is obliged to pay. In fairness, that’s a bit of an odd generalisation. Perhaps customers are borrowing, eating into life savings, or selling off items from a previous hobby, to fund their habit. Just because people are spending does not dictate a surplus of disposable income.

The ICR’s are gonna be awesome. I have my shuttle controllers ready for them!
-
Gotta subsidise the lives of the Epsteins and Trumps of the world with the blood of the workers!

Perhaps a screenshot of the original post including the poster might help.

Dapol O Gauge Class 66 Update!
DJ Dangerous replied to DJ Dangerous's topic in British Outline Modelling
Early 2026 likely for the Class 66: https://railsofsheffield.com/blogs/news/dapol-o-gauge-class-66-major-project-update

Hopefully Brookhall goes to a good home and gets a new lease of life. I wonder if a potential buyer could replace the fiddle yard with a loop and sidings, space permitting, of course, allowing them a little more operational scope.

MCG 1:18 Scania 143M (with a Road Kings DAF 3600 lurking behind), been after this one for ages!

Another lovely Scania from IXO:
