  1. Cheers Northman, I did try them last week and they were all out, so I need to look elsewhere!
  2. Hi guys, Bit of a long shot this - I'm on the look out for 2 Bachmann Class 20 chassis units. Must be intact, unmolested and fully working. Boxed or unboxed. If you have one or two that you wish to part with drop me a private message. Cheers!
  3. I see. Cheers John!
  4. I'm pretty sure you're correct, it's how I remember them anyway. It used to bother me as a youngster that it wasn't a full AOA, but then I was quite a sad child!
  5. Thanks for the offer Seamus, but tieing up and gagging other men is not how I get my kicks!
  6. No idea yet, but can stick around till 8 I suppose, or whenever they decide to kick me out!
  7. Seamus if you use Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer to browse the internet it has a spell checker and a translator service built in. Very handy. Anyway, worth a look https://www.google.com/chrome/?installdataindex=nosearch&hl=en-GB&brand=CHMB&utm_campaign=en-GB&utm_source=en-GB-ha-emea-ie-sk&utm_medium=ha
  8. Cheers lads. Seamus, was on to himself last night. Probably going to take a trip down on Monday if you're about? Will bring her down for a run and you can have a good look!
  9. Good one John, I must admit I like the yellow and green livery of the MKT, I'm not sure where UP got the red from, but it really looks good to me. Nothing wrong with a little experimenting with dark forces! Me too mate, even down to the way 'The Katy' is splashed across the side! I'll have to bring the two of them down to Brendan, stand them side by side and see what you think!
  10. http://www.modeltrainstuff.com http://www.trainworld.com Both US, if you go for the non sound version you shouldn't get stung by customs (this has sound and I did get stung!) http://www.modeljunction.info - UK retailer, but they probably wont have them in for about another 6 weeks if you can wait. Really good service though.
  11. Some more pics of my B114. I've chipped it and now just need to add the additional bogie detail. They really are top notch.
  12. And two more. A well dressed woman me thinks...
  13. The latest Genesis SD70ACe arrived in D22 t'other day, UP1988 'Miss Katy' in one of the Union Pacific heritage repaints. Must say it's my favourite so far. Anyway, some pics...
  14. I don't think I could sleep soundly at night if I inflicted such horrors on the world. I'm too soft I guess!
  15. Have you carried out any extra detailing on yours yet Rich? Would be interested to see what you did and parts you used to see what I can do to my ones.
  16. I'm guessing that many people are aware of Pete Waterman's superb O gauge layout from numerous magazine articles in recent years. Here is a nice (and rather long) video of it in action. Be sure to check out the guy's channel for more videos of the layout and British mainline steam. Enjoy!
  17. Now that brings back memories! Very nice. You need to adapt it for the faller road system and put a sound chip in!
  18. Something else worth doing is try a dry run of fitting parts together without glue to make sure they fit together nicely and do not need modification without glue being in the equation. It only gets messy otherwise! Also, it will help you to work out if some parts need painting before gluing together. And if you make a mess of it the first time, don't be disheartened. I bet everyone on here has made a mess when starting out making kits. You can learn a whole lot from making a mistake. The Dapol kits are perfect to begin with and are enjoyable to make up. Enjoy it!
  19. Jaysus talk about inflation. I got it on there last night for less than £20!
  20. Cheers dude!
  21. Thanks Eamon, know anywhere good where I could pick these up?
  22. Picked up the book yesterday, cracking piece of work! Is there a similar book about the Dublin area during a similar time period? When it comes to Irish railway books I've lived a very sheltered life...
  23. Yes very odd, mind you there were a lot of people causing bother on the forums in recent months (sound familiar?) so they probably got sick and tired babysitting it. I don't really mind once it's not a sign that they're on the way out of business all together, as they really make sweet stuff. I'm sure it isn't though!
  24. Thanks for that Tony.
