Are these being run using the same tooling as the original run, or new tooling?

Bachmann or Murphy Models packaging?

More importantly, where are you barred from now?

Some tweaks to the original tooling plus speaker will be installed
MM packaging I presume, he is not associated with Bachmann any longer afaik
Cant remember the name of the site, shows how interested I was in it but its the one where I was lied about by its admin and then unable to answer as he barred me straight away!

I'm curious to know who built and displayed the diorama of the railway access across the Royal Canal to the North City Mills just west of Cross Guns Bridge in Phibsborough. I know the location well and this is really captures the essence of it..

A MRSI member, Michael Delaney.
He has made some serious layouts/ dioramas over the years including his one of Fort Camden which is displayed at their Annual show, next one next August I believe.

My favourite had to be “Castletown” in spite of the 6 wheelers not Co-operating 

Had terrible trouble with 2 OO Works J15's
Considering what was paid for them and further expense having them DCC fitted and weathered I would not be recommending these models for exhibitions
Ran them in when they were purchased for 20 mins in both directions and then had the work carried out
They were run , with short breaks in between, for about 2 hours on Saturday before showing signs of failure
Again on Sunday more trouble, look liked the locos had completely seized
In between we ran some of MM's 121's with no problems at all
Really really disappointed with these OO works models   

Just back from Dublin Port, T10 to be exact
Some really bad news people
Chris Dyer has had his van seized by customs because of some i not dotted and a really horrible female customs official
No problem with UK customs coming over
As a result he will be returning to the UK in the morning and therefore will not be in a position to attend the show
He hopes to return in December so if anyone was looking for anything in particular talk to me over the weekend and I will pass on your requirements
I may have a few of his  bits at the show but nothing like we hoped to have
God bless Brexit

and still at least two more IRM announcements:)

Hopefully something new!
Pain in me hole with reissues of existing models
"What do we want?"
"New Stuff!"
"When do we want it?"....................

Hot off the press:
From Murphy models 

1. He is showing pre-production samples of Class141/181 locos this week-end at the MRSI show. There will be 1 new fleet number in each of the four liveries (CIE, Supertrain, IR, IE) in both loco types.  There will be a number of improvements, including the fitting of a speaker. He will forward photos of all versions next week.  No guidance on price due to the volatility of currency markets.  

2. Also at the show he will have examples of the Mark2d coach in IR livery. As before, there will be 1^st., standard, composite, restaurant and egv. Photos to follow. There will be a new bogie to conform with the prototype and will facilitate 21mm conversions.

Hope to have some 141 & 071 handrails at the show, fingers crossed
 

No, and a hard one to hardwire because of its split chassis
The key to converting a split-chassis model to DCC is to isolate the chassis from the motor terminals. Split-chassis models rely on the motor terminals pressing against the chassis directly, to get power from the track, but DCC needs to intercept this connection and place the decoder between the pickups and the motor.

Should have some that might suit
Are you travelling to the 3 day show in Raheny this weekend
I will be there for the 3 days, I could give them to you then

Keeping a little corner in Bray for you Ken, hurry back I am running out of people to insult!

I've always wanted to go to Ireland and ride in a wagon there

Rode a few wagons myself here Terry, mind yourself, had to take penicillin for a week after one of them 

Where are you based man?

448?
201 - 234 I thought  

Speaking with Chris Dyer this afternoon and he tells me he has most of the sold out A Classes
and some IRM sold out wagons packed and ready for the show
Also all the usual Irish outline stock that he carries and some restocked Silverfox items

Keep calm and carriage on, its a freight day for it

Never came up in Honours English in St Declans CBS 

Was my pride and joy back in the day
Wrenn did a selection of Banana vans, BR, NE, GW and also Private owner ones, Fyffes, Geest Tropical Fruit but possibly the rarest of
them all was the Jaffa, records suggest there were less than 20 made

Seamus did not mention my name, did he?

Found these bits today while doing a bit of clearing out,
Letter to C. Fry of W&R Jacob & Co Ltd, Bishop St.
It came from a Mr C Dwyer of Harrington & Goodlass Wall Ltd of Nassau St, Paint manufacturers I believe
It contained Frys list of required transfers and also some unused ones presumably from Nassau St?
If they are of any use to the Museum I would be glad to donate them.

Not sure about 2651 but 1442 was a Park Royal fitted with Storage Heaters for the Ballina Branch as there was no heating van on that route, an unusual coach.
