Have to agree George, and with the 121's hopefully arriving this year its a serious amount of money needed
With packs of 2 wagons costing around €70 - €80 a pop and the 121's at least twice that, costly times ahead
Just been talking to my +1 and he has had to cancel so I reckon I will have to pull the plug as well
Thanks for all the PM's saying you would be there (NONE)
The sense of adventure that has made this site what it is today seems to have been lost in the snow

To the best of my knowledge Greystones is no more ( I heard it was burnt) but I am sure there are some pics of it still around
I will keep you posted John.
Jasus sake Noel, I took them out of their boxes, you want me to run them as well?
I did add the shims to the new coach but it is safely tucked away now.
I now have about 100 of the shims given to me by MM
They are basically small washers, not the brass affairs that we saw at the 3 day show in October
I will have them at the IRM annual boxing tournament on the 3rd if anyone needs them
Once again I managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
MM1509 is a Late Liveried Snack, not an Early one as I have previously mentioned
Shims need to be affixed
Just for your info Controller there are 2 more single striped Cravens, MM1504 & MM I515 both standards
Generally a bit harder to pick up than the later liveried ones as there were not the same amounts of them manufactured
Some pics of them on Page 7 of the Lima Murphy thread on this forum
The RPSI bogies seem a lot harder to remove than the original MM ones
Plastic is harder or something
Kieran asked me about removing them and as I had not removed mine I tried this afternoon
Used a trusty Leatherman blade to force them apart
Be careful when returning the coaches to their packaging, it is directional so the coach only goes in one way.
Some more useless Jouef HDI info
Light coloured pics on the box gables are Made in France
Darker colour are Made in Ireland
Made in France Mk 3 on the left
Made in Ireland one on the right, the Made in France has just been blocked
Just received a mail which is listing all of Richards layouts and rolling stock for sale
The site wont allow me to paste it here so if anyone is interested in a copy mail me and I will attempt to forward it
