    We demand Hunslets!! lol

    Well you have to have something to re-release. I doubt it was forgotten. I'm sure it was a conscious decision

    Yeah I didn't see that coming at all. Fair play, they look beautiful already. The Hornby chaps were clearly impressed. Obviously there's some common tooling between BR and NIR versions but the decision to press ahead with the "oddball" NIR variants is brave and I hope will be rewarded. With this announcement I can't help but feel an 80 Class isn't too many years away.....

    Park Royals make the most sense to me given the hints about coaching stock and the fact they ran with A's their whole (long) lives.

    My money is on a DCC ready Lartigue Monorail starter set, complete with matching calves.

    What happened to the roof at Broadstone?

    Derby day with trains at the Curragh: http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000731468/HierarchyTree

    Sad state of affairs. I ate a nice cooked dinner on the train (The Berliner, running from Hamburg to Prague, operated by CD) down to Dresden yesterday. There's nothing quite so civilised as eating a proper meal on the train, cooked in the galley. Edit: a loco hauled train too!

    Is there a queue, as in will older pre-orders be shipped first?
  11. murphaph
    That's awesome with the stay alive. Didn't think it would go anywhere near that far.
  12. murphaph
    Looks like the same loco indeed. I wonder has anyone here also bought it? If they have they may well be able to provide useful information to help track down the money.
  13. murphaph
    I believe he has or had possession of the loco and took those pictures of it. The images aren't downloaded from the internet and in fact you can see the resin printer and wash station he was trying to sell on adverts.ie before swiftly withdrawing the ad when asked where the loco is.
  14. murphaph
    I would if I could but I wouldn't fancy hundreds of angry Irish railway modellers looking for my scalp!

    In my case they will actually pass within spitting distance of my house as the train passes to the south of Berlin and on to the Ruhrpott. I've seen this train pass through Schönefeld airport station before. It often stops there, presumably for a crew change. Getting rather excited about my tippex A's now:

    That's surely a reference to those Guinness tanktainers that IRM are working on lol.

    Yeah I mean I'll probably be a bit wary of members such as myself that have "only" been here a year or so. Obviously the folks I've dealt with already I will be able to trust and I'd probably feel reasonably comfortable buying off long standing members or members that are recommended by others. I do suspect the odds of this happening again are pretty low though. Shame it had to happen at all.

    Even if PayPal don't feel inclined to assist. Taking money for an item that is then not provided is an actual crime, regardless of the method of payment. It's possibly even as serious a crime as fraud. If I was that person I'd ship that loco immediately and if it doesn't exist or has been sold elsewhere I'd return that money immediately before this escalates.

    It's clearly not an honest mistake at this stage. The user SCMG saw the messages and within minutes withdrew the ads on adverts.ie. I'm quite sure Shane reads these messages even if he isn't logging into the site. Hi Shane! Do the decent thing man. Return the money. It's a crime to take money for an item you never deliver. I expect the guards in Raheny/Donaghmede will be involved if that money isn't returned pronto. It may seem like one can hide behind the anonymity of the internet but that's not true

    Good work John

    If they announce too early they'll be plagued with "when is X coming, you announced it X months ago...." comments so I can understand why they'd hold back. Stuff like a worldwide container shortage and the Corona virus and Brexit have all gotten in the way of lots of people's plans in fairness.
  22. murphaph
    Without the actual running numbers of the loco and the Cravens making up a particular train, it is never going to be entirely prototypical anyway and this information is lost, so I would just make a reasonably educated guess that it's plausible that CIE supertrain A's hauled Tippex Cravens at some stage in the late 80's.
  23. murphaph
    Magic. The first couple of pics are really fantastic with the backdrop. It really works well.
  24. murphaph
    Holy shit. The addresses in and around the docklands certainly fit .
  25. murphaph
    That's awful to hear. Hopefully Shane has an epiphany and does the right thing asap. You could reach out to other adverts.ie members who've bought off him to get a real address maybe.... Or maybe a member on here has sold Irish railway items to a Shane in that area. Maybe they could PM you....
