Wuhan would appear to be a long way from where the IRM models are manufactured, it is in central China. The following info about the virus would suggest that we should not be worried about it, there are no doornobs on the Ferts! Sometimes, but not often, a coronavirus can infect both animals and humans. Most coronaviruses spread the same way other cold-causing viruses do, through infected people coughing and sneezing, by touching an infected person's hands or face, or by touching things such as doorknobs that infected people have touched.

Arrived this morning from the USA Bought on eBay and when I won the auction, at considerable expense, the seller tells me he does not do International postage and wants to cancel the sale. So after a few calls to a fellow collector in Texas,( Thanks P) I managed to get him to post to Texas and then they were forwarded to D05 On page 22 there is a picture of the O Gauge Sundries wagon in a first issue box, ref no 6711 This wagon is in a later issue box and carries a 31 prefix, so its 31 6711 I wasn't aware of this new numbered wagon previously, so now the hunt is on for any others This collecting is tough work people. For the non Specksavered ones among us there is some foreign instructions on this box that does not appear in the original one

You only die once George, you live every day.....

Slightly off topic, Bachman's Ransomes & Rapier 45 ton crane Weighs in at £250 stg!

Some more pics

Taken in Fairview

Just been listening to Dave Lynfield being interviewed on RTE by Ray D'Arcy Gulliver Lynfield Still laughing!

B&I

Some of Frys original stock Some was on display on the layout and some in the many glass cases there The 4-8-0 shunters were mistakenly painted in Green, One of the glass cases full of models The following pics are stock made by Leinster Models to run on the layout, Similar to Cultra it was a tough place to take pics and the general public were not allowed to take pics. Brendan Kelly of MRSI fame would have made most of the locos with the McGowans doing the coaching and freight stock Some of the beautiful brass bridges and some other buildings were built by Tom Tighe of Inchicore fame. The narrow gauge loco and stock on the lower level may have been built by Des McGlynn, I will clarify this when I speak with him next. Slightly off topic I know but this snap was with the others This is a Gauge 1 201 that was sent to GM in Canada prior to the manufacture of our fleet of 201's, Commissioned by IE Pic taken in McGowans dining room in Phibsboro

I thought there would have been more than one to take the bait?

We won't be there Leslie, still getting our breath back after last year! And I am sure the SDMRC will not have a layout there As I am sure you are aware, invitations are issued a couple of years in advance so I reckon there are no Irish "Irish" layouts attending It will be up to our brothers on the mainland methinks.

4 fairs for 2020 for your diary men Feb 9th June 7th Sept 13th Nov 8th

While we are on about thrones:

Worst thing about it was I forgot to put the Andrex in the freezer beforehand

Bought 2 of these for a project Only found out when I bought them that it is recommended not to chip them It negates their warranty Thought that was a bit cheeky considering the price that was paid!

Picture from the last Bray fair We are still looking for the culprit.....

I think there's a bit of a Nazi in you George Great job, as usual!

Sorry lads no more info. I had heard all the rumours about the pic and even spoke to the late John Byrne about it but nothing to ad The HO "A" did come out shortly after the ad but it was a 33 and the rest as they say is history. Pages 9, 10 & 11 on the Lima/Murphy thread have some pics
