  1. Yep, the Gevo's are being delivered to NS in primer and they paint them up themselves. The ACe's will be painted by the manufacturer when they're completed and delivered directly.
  2. Lehigh Valley http://www.railpictures.net/photo/395891/
  3. And a penchant for burning boxes???
  4. Don't look at me! Looks like another recruit to the dark side Dave, didn't think converting you lot would be so easy!
  5. I know, imagine how much it costs!
  6. Nice (if a bit long) video of the big model show in Dortmund which took place last week. Some lovely continental stuff, especially that large scale German steam. [video=youtube;0xHyey5RN-U] 3zN4WmUmlHY
  7. It's not the first time they've had serious problems like this either. Hope it's back up soon, in the meantime I'll just have to spend more time on here!

  9. It's going to be the best Irish model yet, which really is saying something!
  10. What you should've done is bought a BR liveried A1 and gone mad! I'd be bad enough, but you might just kill Bren with the shock! http://www.southern-images.co.uk/lightbox/index.php?module=media&pId=102&id=4384 http://www.themodelcentre.co.uk/60124/prod_113.html
  11. Dead right Rich, a lot of people missed the boat with MIR, myself included. Would nothing more than a nice string of bubbles behind my 141s or similar.
  12. A rtr wagon would be lovely. I like passenger stock but freight is always more interesting IMHO.
  13. Hornby use the roco couplers with their coaches and you can buy them in packs of ten. Should have them in most model shops. They will just click into the NEM socket.
  14. 081 is sporting black cab doors instead of silver on one side at least
  15. Absolutely, you've got to hand it to the Brits, they've designed some beautiful machines over the years, especially steam and diesel locomotives. And yes, the BBC do that sort of thing very well indeed. Could you imagine the mess RTE would make of it?
  16. Tornado is always pristine. Just get a model figure, weather him and stick some pubic hair on his head instead... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RAYwEALTvM&feature=related
  17. A man can dream!
  18. Absolutely, I just keep thinking how good it would be if Paddy had a go!
  19. Sweet pics, thanks for sharing! The ITG did a great job on her. I just wish there was a good model of the As, they are my favourite Irish loco along with the 071s. I just can't deal with the Silverfox one sadly!
  20. I believe he was out of work for over a year, and RMWeb recently teamed up with BRM so he now gets paid for it. We'll have to cosy up to Model Rail and make a few quid!
  21. Nice one John, looks well worth reusing to me! Always like the Delaware and Hudson scheme, especially on Alco PAs http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2322078
  22. Ever caught short waiting for a loco to show up, well it looks like the Chinese have solved the problem...
  23. And one video... Also met Jonathan McDonnell for the first time who was taking some pics, an absolute gent.
  24. Dead right Rich, I think it's going to be Paddy's finest hour yet, and that's saying something when you consider the quality of models such as the baby GMs and Cravens. Those EMD grills are prominent on a lot of yank stuff too and they really are a multi-layered design. Athearn and Kato chose to model theirs in moulded plastic with decent success but a beautifully rendered separate brass etching could really knock the spots off them! I have a good close up shot of the grill on an 071 which was parked up in Portarlington a couple of years back. If only I could find my stupid hard drive!!!
  25. Never doubted the man for a second, cheers Anto! It's going to be a seriously good bit of kit. Enjoy the show?
