  1. Given the fuel tank size on an 08 ( 668 Imp Gallons / 3037 L ) either they fill up a lot as they only carry 6.9 hours worth of fuel, or someone has the figures wrong on the usage per hour.
  2. Watched when aired live. Instantly knew had travelled on that unit from the number as it was one of the regulars on the Sheffield to Skegness run. Proved right when at the end it pulled up at Skegness.
  3. Mac Lads were a bit tame. For really radio unplayable stuff look up DR Busker on You Tube. Regularly found at beer Festivals and Steam Rallies (and me in the crowd when I can be).
  4. My stock carrying boxes (locos and coaching stock at least.) are repurposed poker chip cases. Cheap 2nd hand EBAY and charity shop style. Just remove the chip tray and replace with a foam sheet. Once lid is closed items stay immobile until opened again (even when case is stood on side.)
  5. Over the weekend I went to the Macclesfield Model Railway Exhibition. I wanted a day out and saw that Glenties would be there. Not being too far away and an 00n3 layout to look at (Drool.! over ) I set off. On arrival not only was the above in attendance but also there was this beautiful expanse. Carrowbeg Video - The Carrowbeg Model Railway The owner is not on here But I have sent him a link and I hope he joins.
  6. Hobby Holidays are trying to fill the gap. This guy is local to me (I sometimes even empty his bins). The business is for sale but he is still trading and will continue to do so (He gets a better price on the business that way!) And A1 Models (Link is to Dundas models page as A1 do not have their own site and sell via EBAY otherwise) is now only 3 1/2 miles up the road.

  8. Hi Andy. Have a copy of Pattersons, Gleaned some photos from disused stations, history sites (The derailment / crash ! ) etc. But am struggling after that. Do not have the Narrow Gauge Magazine Donegal special or the Michael Bunch Book. Will look out for them unless anyone else on here can help. Usual disclaimer of any postal costs etc will be covered should have made it into my first post on this of course.
  9. OK as it says above. In the possible hope that I may make a passable layout of a CDR location.
