***UNBELIEVEABLE! PLEASE READ!*** FIFA officials have noticed that Croatia have been using a player that was yellow carded two games ago. He should have missed the last two games. Therefore, FIFA officials could disqualify Croatia from the World cup, meaning England could potentially qualify for the final and be on their way to the final! This news is official and can be checked on the BBC website. It was brought to the attention of the chairman of FIFA only 25 minutes ago. Go and check!... Carlsberg don't do statuses for the emotionally imbalanced, delusional dreamers that think they can win everything, but if they did, this would be the best status of the world cup 2018....

Heard this just before the match Englishman and a Frenchman having a pint Englishman says "We're playing Croatia this evening" Frenchman says" That's a coincidence, we're playing them on Sunday" Boom Boom

I will be in the Pro Cathedral this afternoon around 4 offering up a few decades of the Rosary for our near neighbours if anyone is around? Has to be the Glorious Mysteries me thinks?

Found some MM Mk 2 EGV's if anyone is looking for one, or 4!

Couple of kits here JB, although I know Baseboard Dave has some Knightwing kits on his stand https://www.modelscenerysupplies.co.uk/Diesel-Fuel-Oil-Depot-Tanks-knightwing-PM116

Its coming home people

They are serving their apprenticeship Paul, if I am satisfied with the painting I may allow them to do some ballasting Hard to get good help ( Both "apprentices" are in their 70's)

Some work done on the model over the last couple of weeks Model of Signal box built by Dave Mirolo, lovely bit of modelling

Found this tape in the bottom of a box last night Any info people, haven't had a tape player since I sold my GOLF GTI ! It says Hornby Railway Instructions, and has a 1989 date

They even gave me a second pair for free, should use them more often

It was the Bachmann box that threw me, probably used the running gear from the 158 and then used the box for storage Good spot John.

Another bargain Repainted Bachmann Class 158? https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Irish-2-car-Hand-built-DMU-Arrows/263765463240?hash=item3d69a590c8:g:FpoAAOSw1ztbJ--4

Playcraft was owned by Mettoy, they were the Corgi Car makers. So around 1960 they produced cheap sets which were sold through Woolworths and sold for around £1 ! Made in HO scale and the sets were called after famous train stations, and disappeared around 1970.

Some really nice pics there Ernie. Great to see the 201's on freight, I can take them out of their moth balls now.

I think someone with a background in IT would be a welcome addition to the IRM team?

Hornby all the way for me, pure class

Had a little giggle to myself this fine sunny morn Posted on an ad in Done Deal "Hornby railway trains for sale or swap 5 vintage steam locos and all made in England not the rubbish from China" I reckon he wont be buying any IRM "rubbish"
