  1. At the recent MRSI 3 Day show in Raheny I ran my 2 J15's on out "Castletown" layout
    When I bought them I ran both in for around 30 mins in each direction 
    I had them professionally chipped and they were put away for the show
    Ran them both on the Saturday, one in each direction for 20 - 30 mins, then rested while I ran a 121 and did some shunting
    On the Sunday at about 2 PM the Black J15 stopped suddenly and gave up the ghost, about an hour later the Grey followed suit
    The instructions stated that DCCing the locos would nullify the warranty so I have given them to a fellow member of the club who 
    has previous convictions for fixing stuff!
    I have been offered any spare parts by Roderick so all is not lost yet
    One thing he said though that I should mention is that the locos are not suitable for very long running
    His gearbox has mostly metal parts and needs to be rested between runnings

    @Wrenneire - Would you seriously want any of that stuff?

    I have all of those Irish sets, in somewhat better condition
    Historically worth picking up from a collectors point of view
    Remember there was no IRM or PMurphy back in the day

    That's a brilliant idea, great way to promote the hobby. I'm sort of a non-committal type of man hence why I'm not married, however, will attend this open day as it might change my mind about joining a club.

    Bring your birth cert and a recent picture of any sisters you might have  🥸

  5. After a long absence our O Gauge open day will take place this Saturday from 11am
    If you are thinking of joining a club come along and see what we do, we should have our OO layout available if you wish to run some trains
    Tea and bikkies and possibly a couple of Hang Sangwiches should be available
