Nope. Freight runs during the day but no freight goes south of Portarlington. Bizarre a freight train is blocking up around Ballybrophy. Must be a permanent way working.

There is a similar video on YouTube about building an LMS Princess (I think) where one lad lights his woodbine off a red hot rivet! They really are great videos from a time sadly long gone.

Burlington Northern EMD SD70MAC in their 'executive scheme' which was short lived before BN's merger with Santa Fe to form BNSF. Prototypes were delivered from 1993 and BN got 350 of them before the merger.

Having seen this beauty up close all I can say it will be a stunner! Even has a real leather interior!

I reckon if you were to count the amount of RTR models produced of any Irish loco the 201s would be the most numerous. They're quite popular, just maybe more plentiful in supply than others...

Press release from MM The 'interim' livery for the 201 is the Enterprise livery with the black band only. I believe that 8209 (?) was the loco that ran like this for a number of months?

Marks has some spares too like replacement railings, might be worth an email.

Missed that actually. Good spot!

2016 looks like it'll be an expensive year for us all! http://www.ooworks.co.uk/current-models/4568653183

New Enterprise I believe Tom. Source is editor of Rail Express Modeller btw. Not pulling it out of my behind

Word is that a provisional date of Christmas 2016 has been given to the release of the first 121s which will be the first grey and yellow livery and the final IE livery with more to follow in 2017. Corrected Supertrain Mark IIS and 201s in latest livery are also on the way.

Happy new year to all and we can't wait for the ballast wagons to arrive and we're hoping to be blowing some bubbles too

Links work fine for me. Weird

Sorry Kevin but you've spoiled it for some on here as can be seen from the subsequent comments. It's reasonable to assume that while the film is in the cinema that not everyone has seen it. Indeed I went to see it for a second time today with someone who hadn't seen it and the cinema was almost full. Previews of posts also appear on the bar on the right hand side of the home page so they could be seen unintentionally by the unaware. The thread was started a week ago with no other spoilers to date. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people not to throw out spoilers like that. It's a spoiler heavy film after all and with previous posts being of a joking nature could lull someone into a false sense of spoiler free security. Thanks.

Kevin; seriously bad form giving away the film like that. I'm glad I didn't read this thread before I saw it! Please can everyone not post a load of spoilers like that and ruin the film for others who have not seen it yet. It's unbelievably rude. Thank you.

Thanks gents! Had a great day and herself got me a nice SD40 as a gift! She's a keeper!

Marks and the model shop in portlaoise. Check out the shop section of this page for more info!

Have one myself. Break the bank Baseboard Dave, they're well worth it!

Happy Christmas one and all! Hope you all have a good one!

Absolutely stunning Sean! Thanks for sharing!

I have to factor in personal capabilities. Worth pondering nonetheless!

I was thinking DJH to be honest!
