  1. Welcome to the forum! Lovely work so far.
  2. Great choice of location Richie, it's going to be stunning! Looking forward to seeing this progress.
  3. Nice job! I love those F7's, particularly in that livery.

    Lovely job, that will look the biz painted and weathered. Well done
  5. Hi Noel, bought it from this crowd in Australia http://secure.oatleyelectronics.com//product_info.php?products_id=915&osCsid=ndfbm6np7oonhvo1nqtaosv3g5 I use it on a regular basis and it works a treat, up to 10mm no problem. I power it with 12v DC mains power supply.

    What Ballast?

    I ballasted some track today with fine blend, one with medium and one mixed. The fine is too fine and the medium is a bit too big. Mixed is not bad, I plan to weather it with the airbrush.
  8. Lads, I'm looking to get a ballast that is as close as possible to the ballast used on Irish railways. I have tried a few but no joy, Woodland scenics comes close with the grey blend but I'm still not happy with it. It has to be readily available as it's going to be used on our modular system. Any help would be much appreciated
  9. Now that's my kind of layout, plenty of shunting ability. Looking forward to seeing this one develop.
  10. Lovely loco David, stunning level of detail.
  11. I was talking to the lads from the MRSI on Sunday in Portlaoise, they were using the Roco Z21 system that uses tablets and phones for cab control. It's come on in leaps and bounds over the last year and it's now only £280 in Hattons. It's compatible with a lot of other controllers too. I think this is the one I will go for.
  12. Jasus Seamus, looks like I've been on the Guinness all day!
  13. You can also get a JMRI throttle app on android, just found it on the play store. You can also get a sprog and connect it to your laptop then you don't need a DCC controller.
  14. Looks great, except its an apple only product
  15. I am also giving one away, just like and share my facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/modelrailbaseboards
  16. Glad you like it, I'll have them with me on Sunday in Portlaoise if anyone wants one.
  17. It certainly is, I still have to make the move to a decent controller as I'm using a Bachmann Dynamis. For the same reasons I held off on the Ecos. I guess I'll be waiting for a while too.
  18. Jasus Dave, how bad were you to buy them? How was the head the next morning, and did you forget you bought them till they arrived?
  19. Hi Noel, the American stuff has fallen way behind. It seems its a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it! The NCE powercab is a good example of this, the ESU system is one of the best out there in my opinion. The Roco Z21 system is very good and is still developing all the time. But if you by a decent 5 amp NCE or Gaugemaster for a little bit more you can buy the ESU Ecos.
  20. I know Paul, it's the same on the October bank holiday weekend. MRSI and Wexford on the same time! I hope next year won't have so many clashes
  21. Excellent, at almost 12 amps it will be ample for point motors.
  22. Here's a few pics of them, it makes a very neat job of cutting track, and for €12 you can't go wrong! I also post them for free!
  23. Just seen your order, I'll have it out in the post in the morning. Thanks lads!
  24. Yes, it's in the Killeshin Hotel, Dublin raod, Portlaoise.
  25. They are available from my website, or at any of the shows.
