    Jackpot today, SIX boxes parked behind Decathlon in La Laguna this afternoon, two of those OPDR's and two of them, wait for it @murphaph, were ContainerShips! Forgive the large number of photos, but I got very excited. I'll review them on the PC another day and delete some if necessary.

    Merry Christmas to all on the forum, and their loved ones. No train-time for me, yet, but did get out for a short Christmas Eve walk yesterday:

    It would be blasphemy to put anything other than a transparent roof on that shed! Clear corrugated plastic panel roof!

    So are all of the Dapol 45' models 2,5 scale metres wide? Somebody told me that 2500mm boxes were too wide for Irish railways, hence the use of narrow boxes up there. Is that true?

    Anybody got their hands on the Dapol Cobelfret 45' containers, yet? Be a while before mine get here... Are they palletwide boxes? Hard to tell from the images on Hattons, but they look like thay have that 2,5m wide yellow warning line. They're LEG1's, so should be 13,7m / 45' long x 2,9m / 9'6" tall and less than 2500mm wide. Palletwides are 2484mm to 2500mm wide, externally? Or from 2460mm to 2484mm, externally? Narrow boxes are 2438mm externally? My understanding of the more common codes is... First digit: "L" is 13,7m / 45' long. "4" is 12,2m / 40' long. "2" is 6,1m / 20' long. Second digit: "E" or "5" is 2,9m / 9'6" tall. "M" is 2,75m / 9' tall. "2", "C" or "L" is 2,6m / 8,6 tall. "E" is 2438mm to 2500mm / 8' to 8,2' wide. "M" is greater than 2500mm wide. Where are you when I need you, @MOGUL???

    Not a bad price considering what some 141's go for: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/murphy-models-class-181/28694941

    Saw this box earlier. Something odd about the dimensions, dunno what it was. And who the Hell is poor old Arie van Donge?
  8. DJ Dangerous
    I don't think that there IS such a thing as a challenge for @murphaph. One of his boxes somehow made its way down here...

    More commissions coming in 2023! Yes, the holy grail, two-tone green!

    Tinnelly truck, don't see these too often! https://www.ebay.es/itm/334673986633

    Nothing was ever really to scale as I wasn't academic enough to be reading the instructions, would just mash some stuff together. Used to steal my Dad's camera from time to time, hence there are some photos in existance!

    Just going through this thread on the computer now. Usually do so on the mobile, and I have to say, @murphaph's work is just mind-blowing. I didn't fully appreciate the quality of his workmanship while viewing the thread on the mobile, but seeing these pictures up close is something else. Absolutely outstanding work, these 111's have to be some of the best 071 re-sprays out there!

    Ah come on, Lego is still awesome. Look at these random sets of blocks - no instructions necessary! https://www.ebay.es/itm/284522956871 https://www.ebay.es/itm/295282884577 https://www.ebay.es/itm/295432007487 And when I was a kid, I'd have killed for something like these two: https://www.ebay.es/itm/175429479716 Without them, nothing that I made actually floated. I guess if we'd had blue carpet, it might have helped...

    Not a container but nice nonetheless, an old school TITSA bus!
  15. DJ Dangerous
    Hope you have Superquinn sausages and Tayto crisps in stock, with some Club Orange to wash them down!
  16. DJ Dangerous
    Wow! FOUR blue boxes outside Decathlon in La Laguna today! All proper palletwide boxes, too, none of this namby pamby narrow-gauge container nonsense.
  17. DJ Dangerous
    Ah, no, don't tell me that they've come into stock and gone back out of stock already? I must have been waaaaaaaay down the subscribe list as I never received an in-stock email.
  18. DJ Dangerous
    I have no body parts left to trade. Couldn't smoke or drink if I wanted as there are no spares available. I wouldn't worry about that too much unless you're prepared to pay the extra. Gougers like @evankelly260996only keep doing it because people keep paying.

    A couple of Ian Hayes truck on eBay: https://www.ebay.es/itm/234815824257 https://www.ebay.es/itm/393176168021 https://www.ebay.es/itm/234633724253 https://www.ebay.es/itm/144787483658 https://www.ebay.es/itm/314180973112

    LOL, 20 degrees isn't that frosty! Maybe @ttc0169will start having open days and sell the admission tickets here on the forum!

    I wouldn't worry too much about this particular run, unless you're a specialist collector. IRM have proven that they will re-run items again every couple of years, with new running numbers where possible. We'll see NIR Mk2B/C packs hir the shelves again when the 22000's arrive, or I'll eat my hat. Meantime, as @murphaphhas said, Chris Dyer will have some, and I'm sure that @BosKonaysaid somewhere (there are three threads on this topic now so it's a bit messy tracking down information for quotes) that retailers (ie Marks Models or Rails or whoever) will have these if they pre-ordered. I know a man named @WRENNEIREwho always seems to have lovely nuggets like these for sale. And, @Warbonnetsaid "next" chapter, not the last chapter, so you can expect Class 80's, Dutch vans, limited run BR livery Irish coaches and product re-runs galore.

    Older photos, 20th July 2020, a month or two after lockdown (here) ended and the pandemic was over for us. A P&O NedLloyd box (PONU-7348565) by the golf course in Adeje. A retired 12,2m (40') long, 2,4m (8') wide and 2,9m (9'6") tall HC drybox by the look of it.

    Variations on a theme meaning specific tooling not required, so the bowling ball 22000's are not reckless and feckless? But the blue Taras with G1 lids, the NIR generators and driving trailers, the 22000 shunter (and catering trolley???) and the 2023 steam project are? Just to be clear, that's all.
  24. DJ Dangerous
    If anything, I'd say they're even more reckless and feckless... The blue Taras were a bold move, too old for the modern "rake" crowd and too rake-ish for the older "mixed" crowd... NIR Mk2B generator in a livery (GBW) that only lasted 3 years tops... 22000's in liveries that were very short-lived, even that little shunter thing that goes 4mph... And steam on the way next year! That has to be a big gamble, probably the biggest yet.
  25. DJ Dangerous
    Tragic. I'm in tears here.
