Warbonnet

Well worth a visit though and York is a lovely place in general.

Jebus that's ghastly. I was never a huge fan of the plug logo when it replaced the IR points logo (still my favourite) but this is really bad. Can't see this becoming a design classic. Is there a need to keep changing logos? After all, if you look across the water the 'arrows of indecision' are still used on every station and map in the UK despite the mass privatisation. IE would be better off having one classic logo for trains and leave it at that. I hope they don't change Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus too.

Nobody is going to admit to that Rich!

They were pricey and as rare as rocking horse ****...

And this is a great video of the Tatra 603 (gorgeous car) re-edited... I don't think Jay Leno has reviewed his Tatra T87 on his own YouTube channel yet, but here is a glimpse of it. These in silver are just beautiful

This needs to be watched for a bit of joking around... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaAf8Z75mTQ

I'd give my right nut for one of the Tatra streamliners.

Can I be Fran(k)?

Oh and...

Nice vids man. Kildare is probably the best place around for variety. And with the rumours of more liners starting up it's going to get better. Mind you I wait till the sun comes out!

Yes, while my four BLI diesels have been good (if hard to programme on DCC in their Blueline guise) this GS4 was a clunker when I got it. Sent it back to BLI and got it back 2 months later with a rather long list of fixes done. Now she runs like a champ. MTH do a GS4 too, but MTH have their own issues.

Yep a class 20 was the loco used in the film. Done on a UK preserved line iirc.

This has been all over the internet the past few days (almost as much as Bowie!) but hasn't popped up here yet. Owner of Rapido Trains builds a bit of a VIA coach in his basement. Will Paddy Murphy be building a Craven in his attic next?

She's a beauty, many thanks for the video. She has a nice elegance to her too, unlike a lot of north American steam locos. I have one 4-8-4. a BLI Southern Pacific GS4. It's a rare one in that it actually works properly! Diecast, smoke unit, sound and very smooth. [video=youtube;HRF76IzPT-Q] I don't think she's as pretty as yours though! I think A4Mallard took some close up pics of this, I have none myself. I have a couple of other freight kettles but I really like the balance of American 4-8-4s. And yes, that is a Rapido steam generator I believe?

Always remember that the purists on here were beginners once too and make plenty of mistakes along the way. Having a go is the most important part, and you'll learn from any mistakes you make and love the results when something goes right! Fair play for having a go!

Very nice, have these got Tsunami sound? Any chance of a video of it in action?

I absolutely agree Rich, this is superb stuff, as is Richies. Great inspiring stuff lads!

Now in the custody of Herr Flick...

Fuel terminal/cement silos?

Nice one Fitzy, you can't go wrong with Kato. I have a few AC4400s and Dash 9s like yours in HO, they're gorgeous in every way. Look forward to seeing the layout progress.

Happy birthday!

I'm amazed that 40 Crossley engined A Classes managed to do it without breaking down. Great info, keep it coming!

That's weird, Anto sent me a similar type of pic earlier today starring himself and three girls wearing slightly less than the pic for sale. The worst thing is I opened it in work...
