WRENNEIRE

I have not heard of any DCC faults with the 141's Sean, but the Hornby Select has had a few bad reviews, Change the controller?

Great hint Eamonn, I did not know that they affected performance (Just as I went to post this comment my spell check had Eamonn underlined, when I right clicked it gave me the option of changing it to Moonbeam! The spell checker must know you, man!)

One of the few locos that I have managed to free from its box! I cant remember if it was one of the last ones produced by Ian Mc Nally or a S/Fox jobbie?

A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course. The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us." So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, "Come on in." When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the pieces of window glass. A man reclining on the couch asked, "Are you the people that broke my window?" "Uh...yeah, sir. We're sure sorry about that," the husband replied. "Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you... You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for myself." "Wow, that's great!" the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, "I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life." "No problem," said the genie. "You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!" "And now you, young lady, what do you want?" the genie asked. "I'd like to own a gorgeous home in every country in the world complete with servants," she said. "Consider it done," the genie said. "And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!" "And now," the couple asked in unison, "what's your wish, genie?" "Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle, and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife." The husband looked at his wife and said, "Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?" She mulled it over for a few moments and said, "You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?" You know I love you, sweetheart," said the husband. I'd do the same for you!" So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable. After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, "How old are you and your husband?" "Why, we're both 35," she responded breathlessly. "No Kidding," he said. "Thirty-five years old and you both still believe in genies?"

Reckon that might have to wait for a while Kieran, Lima produced a small run of Irish N Gauge items It is believed that as little as 50 of each item were produced in order to test the Irish Market The items however did not sell well and no more were produced First one is a freight set 12 11 23AW I have found no reference to the set anywhere but it was bought in Dublin in the late 70's in a shop called The Hobby Horse in Rathfarnham

Looking great Walter, stick up some more pics when you have it finished Train model, your attachments are not working, are you using an i Pad?

George Heard some rumour about an O gauge display of Irish outline models? My informant, who is new to the hobby, thought they were Irish Was he correct? Any pics of the display?
