    How close were the CIE D Class and the BR 08 Class? Aside from the overall shape, almost everything on the body looks different to me.

    Try asking @murphaph, @Dempsey, @Noel , @JasonB, @irishthump , @Georgeconna or any of the members posting their work in the "Workbench" area. There are lots more, I've only listed a handful.

    Poor old girl. Hopefully somebody obtains a plethora of photos before she dies, so that IRM can commission a special run of ex-Dublin buses for the UK market.
  4. DJ Dangerous
    Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not involved with an RH!
  5. DJ Dangerous
    Can one assume that the bus in question is a restored / preserved KD / KC / Atlantean / Olympian?

    He's a bit of an Evan Kelly, so you either sold it for less than that, or sold it for more than that and now something inside is missing... Sawdust on the cogs or something.

    €150 is not a bad price for a 141 given the current market. https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/murphy-model-class-141/30269541

    I suspect the Irish connection is even more vague, like, "I'm @BosKonay and I love trolling you all. Trolls are green so there's an Irish connection" ...

    Another one or two photos of the HUO's. These are something else.

    Sounds like they're the same externally, so.
  11. DJ Dangerous
    Thank you. Now I see it on the underside, there is one pipe at one end, and a little hole where this second pipe should be, then a valve thing at the other end, and a hole where there should probably be a second valve. Absolutely incredible attention to detail!!!

    What's the difference between a Mk2/2A Second Open and a Mk2/2A Tourist Second Open, when talking about donor coaches? Are there external differences or only internal differences?

    Rails of Sheffield have just announced a new run of Dapol's Class 68... Looks like there are one or two that would be ideal for hauling the Accurascale Mk5 TransPennine Express coaches. https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/new-dapol-oo-gauge-class-68

    Sounds lovely! Any plans or drafts or anything?
  15. DJ Dangerous
    Duuuuun dun. Dun dun, dun dun, dun dun, dun dun! It's getting closer!

    I wonder if @Sean has seen this thread. The plans, size and general discussion remind me of one of his layouts. He may have some advice on how moving from plan to reality worked out in his case.

    Although I disagree with your use of the term "proper loco", I agree with your sentiment and I'd rather a mainline loco than a yard-only loco. Maybe if we both shave our heads, or shave each others' heads, IRM will run a mainline BO-BO for us.

    IRM: "Always finding new ways to make you poor"
  19. DJ Dangerous
    One of these? And look at this quote... Hmmmmmmmm...
  20. DJ Dangerous
    So you'd suggest a C Class, a 121, a 141 or a 181 for the first IRM O gauge loco? I could definitely get behind that.
  21. DJ Dangerous
    I can't agree there. I don't think it's time for IRM to throw the towel in, just yet. If China do something stupider than usual and get sanctioned, that may have an impact on output, but I do not see demand drying up without a mitigating factor like prices being tripled. Back to O gauge, yes, definitely fanciful, definitely not likely to be on the IRM radar at thr moment, but... If somebody had told me ten years ago that the abundance of high quality RTR models we now have was likely, never mind definite, I'd have laughed at them. And, I'm probably not the only one.
  22. DJ Dangerous
    Missed this thread yesterday. Wow! Nice t-shirt!
  23. DJ Dangerous
    I'm obviously overly optimistic, as always, and that I will concede, but at the same time, maybe your figures are a bit low, and fail to take into account the global market for Irish and / or O Gauge? Remember this?
  24. DJ Dangerous
    I do, I'm sorry. I put it down to bad parenting.

    Motors are too small?
