    Nice. I'm still unsure if I like the Enviro 400s or not. They're not bad but I do prefer the Wright option
  2. Warbonnet
    I believe that a Hollywood Foundry chassis was an option for these. Expensive mind.

    I am member of a couple of Facebook groups and to be honest they're not for me. Just don't like the format and they tend to be closed which excludes people (here you can read all the info and not have to register if you so wish) but each to their own.

    Interesting,thanks for the update. By the sound of the Rail Express snippet it looked like Heuston would be the new RPSI base in the Dublin area. Be interesting to see how it pans out.

    Present company excepted I think you'll find!

    Interesting that they used Virgin Trains as an example of comfortable railcar use. I've been on Voyagers and they're they worst mode of transport I've ever been on, and I've travelled on stuff with wooden benches for seats. The push pulls are not air con stock. I reckon if a real will and finance was there they'd be saved. There doesn't seem to be much of the latter though.

    If you had a blue box Alco PA I would've logged onto Paypal again. Mind you that is for a separate future project...

    While I wouldnt be the 201s biggest fan they sound better than the nondescript railcars we have and that will ultimately replace loco hauled passenger trains!

    Superb, have fond memories of C/Road ADs. VA next?

    I have a Lima 201 in stock and have been thinking of a few ways of remotoring and detailing. Will add it to a workbench thread when I (hopefully) get around to it later this year.

    They'd be a nice starting point for an open access freight operator to come in and use mind you. Wouldn't be surprised if they were turned into razor blades before that opportunity arose though.

    Once the mark 3s finished there was no more work for them so they were just switched off. Most of them (if not all) were still operational.
  13. Warbonnet
    Yep, just under 800 euro. Standard order for HO scale brass.
  14. Warbonnet
    Pretty standard for hand made brass. If you want quality you got to pay for it. If fact, it's on the cheap side.

    The new years resolution lasted less than 48 hours...
  16. Warbonnet
    you have a PM.
  17. Warbonnet
    Happy new year everybody!

    Anything SF and/or a GP35 would be of interest to myself.
  19. Warbonnet
    You can always stick them up here too. Only cost would be your time!

    Two CP rail SD40s arrived in West Dublin this morning well packed and in 1st class condition. Thanks Gareth! If anyone is looking to get into the dark side I would recommend picking something like these locos up. Reasonably priced, excellent condition and excellent all round locomotives.

    It looks like another one of us was born around the festive season. Happy birthday Pat!

    I wouldn't go as far as calling them anti-diesel, more that IE, insurance and possibly lack of enthusiast interest will scupper running them. As much as I would love to see a couple of Baby GMs double heading some specials personally.
  23. Warbonnet
    We can but dream but I'm reluctant to believe that we will see them active on the mainline again.
  24. Warbonnet
    The RPSI will be using the old carriage maintenance shed in Heuston apparently. Not been moved yet as far as I know.
  25. Warbonnet
    I wonder where these locos will be going now that the RPSI will be moving their coaching stock out of Inchicore?
