  1. Agreed, really enjoyed it even though as many know my interest in the Irish scene is somewhat on the periphery. Good modelling is good modelling though and can be enjoyed no matter what the subject matter is. Well done team!
  2. If you have deep pockets then D&M will be your friend. Superb stock mind you!
  3. Another great Flickr album belongs to Ernie's Rail Archive - So many gems from the 1950's to the 90's. I love his British stuff too personally.
  4. Correct Kevin, the N2s never ran in Ireland. The Great Northern Railway Ireland were inspired by the British one when it came to liveries early on but then adopted their own identity with the famous pale blue. The British GNR was amalgamated with other companies to form the LNER in 1923. As far as I know both Great Northerns were not linked. To complicate it further there was a Great Northern in the USA too. Their GM locos wore a livery not too dissimilar to what we became used to here! http://www.gngoat.org/annual_report_51.jpg
  5. Hi Kevin. There was a Great Northern Railway in the UK too, pre LNER. Could this be where you're getting mixed up?
  6. I don't care what they get up to off the field Shem!
  7. Flickr is a bit of a goldmine when it comes to old pics, maybe we should post links to good pics or albums we find on our travels and post them on this thread? To start the ball rolling, a wee collection I found from around 1979. And for our bus friends Enjoy!
  8. After seeing what Popeye managed to do with the Worsley Works kit I'd look at that option if I wanted one personally. Stunning isn't even a worthy term to describe it!
  9. Arsenal desperately need a defensive midfielder, a better goalscorer and Ramsey to stay fit. Don't get the fawning over United either. They have a a good manager and Herrera is an upgrade but their defence as it stands is even worse than last season. Between Chelsea and City for me and it'll come down whose strikers can bang in the most. Both will be rock solid defensively like last season. Arsenal and my beloved LFC fighting for 3rd and 4th (provided Sturridge stays fit, otherwise LFC will finish outside the Champions League places. Should be a great season though!
  10. Nice one Shem, must hop down there for a few pics again soon.
  11. Heljan will be bringing out a model of her in the next year or so. A must buy for me having lived over there for a couple of years. Lovely loco and enjoyed seeing her on a special on the Met.
  12. Fairly rare. Based on...
  13. Can you stick up the price you're looking for please? Forum rules state that you must list an asking price. Thank you.
  14. Would love to see a pic her up close Driver 301, that'd be great! Is she still used for anything? It does seem to move around at least?
  15. It's an Alstom Shunter and fairly old (60s?). Still based up in Red Cow depot and can be seen from time to time from the bridge over the Naas road at the back of the depot. Since been given a new lick of paint (same livery as your pics). After that I don't know too much about it. Lovely wee thing though, would love a closer look at her. Must try and get a pic of her.
  16. Look at your fancy underlay! Most of us make do with foam!
  17. He has a tendency to burn the boxes!
  18. I know the gent in question, he has a massive collection of all different stuff. As far as I know he isn't a member on here.
  19. fabulous modelling. Thanks for sharing Nelson.
  20. Agree with Dave about powercab. Have only heard good about it myself and the fact you can start off in a small way and grow it seems perfect for your situation. Would also be easy enough to sell on for a decent price should you switch to a more advanced system as you get more into it.
  21. They are Rich, one motor each end. Update: Having been so busy with work I hadn't the chance to sort out returning it. I tested it on DC last night just to make sure it was not a chip issue and lo and behold it worked correctly! Looks like the Lenz chip or some PCB issue is to blame!
  22. I dunno, what about someone who nearly cripples another player by kneeing him in the back and breaking vertebrae? They get off scot free.
  23. Nice stuff John, I especially like the Highlevel saddle tank. I heard that their kits are very good.
  24. Havent seen a yellow jersey disgraced like that since Lance Armstrong.
