They dont come from the supplier with chips installed but you can have them installed by the retailers if you wish However they are simple to install, even I can do it!

Takes me at least 12 pints.......

Found this page from a March 1997 copy of Model Rail Enthusiast Pat Hammond wrote a series of articles on the various wagons produced by Hornby This was in a series on the 60's & 70's 5 plank wagons These were made in 1979 for the CIE Local Goods Sets A little over 4000 were made In the article the SLNC wagon is described as : R120, Moulded in maroon plastic and carries the initials "SLNC" and the number 145 both tampo printed in white on the sides The initials stood for "Sligo, Larne & Northern Counties" So even Hornby or Pat Hammond can make mistakes! As far as we know the wagon was not sold alone and all the sets were sold in Ireland He then goes on about the Grey CIE wagon which was allocated the number R119 and states that both wagons were scarce I have not found an article on the CIE Insulated wagon so far.

Posted on 12 November 2015 by malahidecommunity We have received the following update on the Casino redevelopment (currently projected to be open to the public in early 2017) and share it with you here: In early 2015 Fingal County Council appointed a tourism advisor to make an input on the re-presentation of the Fry Model Railway Experience in the Malahide Casino. The Fry Model Railway Collection itself is now in secure storage under the care of Fingal Co Co, and itself requires curation and expert evaluation. Initial inspections have noted that it will probably require an element of specialist conservation work prior to being put back into an exhibition. As the Casino building is a protected structure, and has many unique features, a comprehensive survey is required. To this end a tender competition was organised to appoint surveyors. These survey works have begun. Some ground clearance works have been carried out to facilitate these works. The survey works are now finished and a report pending to Fingal County Council. Sketch layouts for the restoration of the Casino to house the Fry Railway collection are in progress. It is intended that the Casino will be restored in accordance with best conservation practice. A necessary first step in this will be the re-thatching of the roof. It is intended that the Model railway collection will be housed as exhibits on the ground floor of the house, which may require a small extension to facilitate larger exhibition area and new public toilets for visitors. An outbuilding has good possibilities to be converted to a supporting use, and the external (garden) spaces upgraded for public amenity. Based on preliminary proposals the site work is likely to take 6 months to complete on site. A full design team will be appointed shortly to progress the project including other statutory consent processes. A tender date for the construction works in Q2 2016 is anticipated with the Casino restored and the exhibition open to the public in early 2017. Anything happened since November?
