WRENNEIRE

Noel, I am adding you as the 3rd candidate Hopefully they wont allow any airbrushes or Mr Surfacer on the trip. And hopefully there will be no WiFi on Mars!!!

Hoping to have some at Stillorgan on Sunday And maybe another new MM model, fingers crossed

Update from Murphy Models Announcing the arrival of our 2 vehicle set, comprising a Leyland Fire Engine and Daimler APC (armoured personel carrier). Available from our usual stockists, deliveries starting later this week.SRP E55.00. In their own way, each vehicle is unique. The fire engine is the first on a Leyland chassis and the first Dublin motorised appliance. It was designed in 1909 by Capt. Purcell, chief fire officer for Dublin. Three examples were built in Scotland. One remained in southern England and the other went to the Indian sub-continent. Nothing further is known about them.The Dublin version was scrapped c.1950. The Daimlers were leased from Guinness by the British Army and fitted with 4 smoke boxes in Inchicore Railway Works. They were welded together, gun ports cut, dummy gun ports painted and rear smoke box door left in situ. The forerunners of the modern day APCs! They were returned to Guinness in due course. The Leyland Fire Engine is supplied with decals (inc. spares) which should be placed on the gold outlined panels forward of the "Dublin Fire Department" plaque (behind the front seat, not on the side of the front seat.)

Yes Got a call yesterday to say they had arrived and should be available by the weekend

First 2 candidates just been selected

Might be of some interest to our 21mm modellers Pre Westhy SSM? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4mm-Irish-21mm-Wagon-Compensation-Units-Wagon-21mm-Axles-Split-Axles/332542586013?hash=item4d6d152c9d:g:xrMAAOSwXf1adgue

Found these today in some old mags, from 1998 These came with the resin 201 kit: I have the kit somewhere, I will post a few pics later

Because of serious clusterfooks with so called professional model makers I will refrain from commenting on this thread. You pays your money and you takes your chances.

My pics Paul Back of signal box had a corrugated lean too After a big clean up of the site:

I heard the position has been filled Dave? Looking forward to some pics of his work

Some old pics of Loughrea, an end to end 21mm MRSI Layout It was in the process of being stripped before being displayed at the Dun Laoghaire show. The baseboards to the left are for the O Connell St layout to give you some idea of size Also there is a small fiddle yard behind the far Loughrea sign.

Not bad for an Architect

Just for you Fran, a little break from your Accurascale, non Irish! gig 1976 Lima catalogue, no Irish content However it shows HO scale Class 33's with OO gauge couplings They are catalogued as OO, but they only have 4 digit catalogue numbers, 00 gauge have 6 So now I am wondering which came first, the HO IR 33 with HO or OO couplings?

Thought he was (is) an Architect ? And theres as s in fascinating man, standards are dropping people!!!

In 1990 as far as I am aware, 1509 only lasted 3 years, derailed and was never put back in service

Murphy Models will have a snack car in the early livery in the next couple of months

A little off topic but I had to stick it in With the rise of self-driving vehicles, it's only a matter of time before we get a country song where a guy's truck leaves him too.

Absolutely no idea what you are trying to say there man But I will repeat what I said earlier Murphy Models did NOT produce these coaches, OK?

These are not Murphy Model coaches man, they are an RPSI production

Can you post some pictures Freda? Loads of know it alls on this site I am sure you would get some good information We have a Galway based member Kinvara Train, who may be of some help

PM sent man
