    Non members can drop into the Dublin set up from time to time, might be the same for London? I'm sure they'd have plenty of drawings etc you'd be interested in

    'And henceforth the Irish Railway Modeller community began their lobbying of IE to engage in a heritage repaint programme of their otherwise dull trains into interesting paint schemes of the past similar to Norfolk Southern...' Or something.

    they tend to grow back? I dont see the problem with having both, the defenders as a 'last resort' as going by the number of damaged roof domes to be seen on the Dublin Bus fleet the tree choppers can't always keep up .

    Have a look at a 201 and 071, they aint evenly spaced either!
  5. Warbonnet
    Correct, more Dublin Buses could do with them. I see the newest deckers are getting branch defenders. About time.

    Top work Kieran, some fantastic skills put into that parcel van and some learned along the way I bet!

    Nice. I'm still unsure if I like the Enviro 400s or not. They're not bad but I do prefer the Wright option
  8. 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.
  19. Warbonnet
    Yep, just under 800 euro. Standard order for HO scale brass.
  20. 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...
  22. Warbonnet
    you have a PM.
  23. Warbonnet
    Happy new year everybody!
  24. Warbonnet
    Anything SF and/or a GP35 would be of interest to myself.
  25. Warbonnet
    You can always stick them up here too. Only cost would be your time!
