    Quality!

    Very nice, pity it wasnt the Sulzer pulling in! Is there any sound recordings of any of the Irish sulzers knocking around?

    Cheers lads, I was like a burns victim after it. Need to go back and cop me some liners as railcar after railcar is very boring. Just need to find out the times and I'll be sorted!

    Nice shots man. I know how you feel. I stood in the local station for a couple of hours on Thursday and it was railcars all the way. I was thinking about how not so long ago all those intercity services were loco hauled and from an enthusiast point of view it was much more interesting. It's a bummer for us but to be fair the ICRs are nice to travel on and progress is progress.

    Agreed, miss watching them practice formations from the school classroom and summer afternoons. The only thing I do miss from school!

    Had a couple of hours to kill so visited the local station to see what was chugging through Clondalkin. Sadly had to leave before any liners appear but if ICRs and 201s do it for you you might enjoy them in their full HD splendour. Think I'll just head out for specials or new freight from now on!

    Got a couple of pics of her today at Heuston. Lovely little loco with some great literature about her home railway beside her.The only downsides was that it's a bit out of sight to see (Though I suppose it's the only real place they could put her) and the tender was filled with empty cardboard boxes and rubbish which is a bit unprofessional!

    Superb!

    Sure can. Might want to talk to Brendan about that...

    Grand auld yokes. Have a bachmann one with sound as well as the prototype NRM one. Had a good look around one at the NRM and I couldnt get over how thin to bodywork is compared to say a class 40. They were real lightweight machines for their power and size. Proper greyhounds.

    Thanks, I'm not going mad then!

    I know I was having a downer on sound a few weeks back but that does sound fantastic! Sounds better than the Murphys sound I heard. Are they two different chips?

    I've just started my first loco kit (DJH 02 shunter) and apart from my own fudging (decided to replace all cast handrails with wire replacements, what a mistake!) it's gone together really well. The chassis is a bit sloppy, but hoping I can sort that out. Came with a motor, wheels and all. Thought I'd get some practice in before the D&M kit comes my way and always wanted to try. Now I need to work out how I DCC it!

    Nice one, I have the catalogue but sadly without the Irish insert.

    And with the inspiration for the paint job....

    The last in the UP Heritage fleet, UP1996, Southern Pacific. I decided to try pics outdoors in the Californian weather. Still waiting for UP1995 to arrive...

    I think this might be one left to the respray boys. All the repaints I've seen so far have been exceptional and have looked after the grab iron removal...

    The last thing we need to know about is members fiddly bits!
  20. Warbonnet
    You have a PM should himself not be interested!

    Top job!

    They were doing their best to flog them off to DB Regio but to no avail.

    Keep an eye on RMWeb for chassis units. There was a 37 up today but it just sold. Been a few recently. Vitrains might be an option for you too. Their 37 is cheap and runs really well.

    Later Lima and current Hornby Railroad class 20s have plastic bogies. Hornby one has the best motor, DCC ready too. If you go upmarket the Bachmann one is a great runner, but it would be hard to hack up the chassis being diecast etc.

    Would an Athearn sw1500 not be a better fit than an SD45, roof contour etc? An SD45 is very angular. Or horror of horrors use a 141 chassis?
