  1. Open day this Saturday 10:30-17:30 based around O gauge at the MRSI base on Dorset Street. I believe us general public are welcome. It could be worthwhile if you want to learn more about the senior scale (Like I do!)
  2. It might be worth checking out the new Hornby computer system. It's been getting very favourable comments and I think it can inter grate with the elite. Might be worth checking out! Stunning work overall. Keep the updates coming!
  3. Savage skills Popeye. They really look the part!
  4. I trust you've seen this Ed? http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=123&start=600 Turned out to be a beauty.
  5. a Falcon will look good perched next to that
  6. +1. Don't mind 66s too much myself but they did do away with a lot of variety. 59s had some better liveries and their underframe is more interesting. Great locos overall. I have a Lima one buried somewhere but will celebrate with the credit card when a new generation top spec model is released. Here's hoping Bachmann sort me out.
  7. Function 8 I think?
  8. Anyone remember Joe Molloy's on James's Street? A lot of my stuff came from there in the late 80s early 90s as a lad. My Dad had a business around the corner on Echlin Street and bought stuff in there. He sold some new and mostly second hand stuff and was also a newsagent and deli. Sadly one syringe bound robbery too many forced him to close in the mid 90s.
  9. Stunning!
  10. They're also looking at removing all staffed ticket offices and turning them into Amazon drop off zones! On the other hand, having lived in London for a couple of years it's fair to say that the tube is wonderful. A fantastic mode of public transportation. What amazed me was how intensely it was worked considering just how old it is. The biggest drawback at the time I was using it was the different sub-surface (Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith and City and District) using the same infrastructure causing massive delays compared to say the Northern or Victoria lines. I feel this is a mistake being made by the Luas once it's joined up.
  11. Well spotted on the tan band Richie. That livery was the finest hour of the A Class. My kingdom for a top notch one!
  12. I'd agree that the white stripe on the A Class is too wide George. It has to be said though that the Q kits cab looks so much better than the Silver Fox effort!
  13. I have travelled on the Mayo trains a bit recently which have been made up of a 4 car and 3 car ICR for a 7 coach train.
  14. We would love to see it Geordiekerryman! We have sections for North American, British and Continental. So, feel free to stick it in the applicable area!
  15. A few more prototype photos from myself uploaded. I'm going to go for the more unusual and for stuff not always photographed but that might be of use to modellers (as well as the more glamorous stuff!) when I go back out with the camera. http://www.flickr.com/photos/77496544@N07/with/10965533366
  16. I let you away with it because you left your handbag at home!
  17. Okay gents lets keep it civil and move on. Thank you.
  18. You could always look at doing the body to run on a suitable chassis as Bachmann boast a considerable Railcar catalogue...
  19. They'd look great on my fire on Christmas Night
  20. I never said you didn't have sense, just that you may have more trains than it. You strike me as someone who is in the top brass of the model train collecting union. Pacific wouldn't be big enough to handle them all!
  21. Cheers Noel, must get you to arrange it for me to get pics of the triple filter on 201s for Rich!
  22. No bother Rich. I always wondered if the box was too small, the air tanks themselves were too small, or both! I'll see what I can do in the new year, but it's a bugger getting close to these fellas other than standing on a platform! It's a pity there's no more tours of Inchicore but sure we know who's to blame for that!
  23. Worth dropping Wrenneire an PM if you're looking for Irish stuff, he usually has pretty much anything you could think of.
  24. Some additional photos added, including Enterprise and 201 detailing/weathering shots http://www.flickr.com/photos/77496544@N07/
  25. Maybe there's a bigger picture...
