Cheers guys. A little too late for me so.

When would those Dong Fangs have been in service?
-
Relieved to see the IR ones as delivered. The colour looks fine. The early pre-production ones looked very red indeed. Mine are on the way to me as we speak. Got the IRM mail earlier. The Galway livery EGV error is inexplicable really. It's not a minor detail and it was flagged before they went to production it seems. Unless there was some oddball livery on the prototype that we are all unaware of? Quick question for those already in possession of theirs....did the bogies end up 21mm friendly in the end? There was some speculation they might and they look different to the original design. Rotating axlebearings?

I'm glad those coaches are outside my chosen era.

We're lucky in that CIE/IR struggled until quite late on to put out a consistent shade of orange. We get away with these off-shades and in fact a uniform shade of orange in a train, even of mk3's, looks wrong. We can mix and match the new MM mk2ds and the earlier (later!) ones, as well as the MM mk2a/b's and the upcoming IRM mk2c's and they will look spot on.

This is the modeller's equivalent of scope creep: Era creep I call it
-
It's the presentation box I'd be really worried about.
-
Good call on the composite instead of a standard. Bit more variety to the train.
-
Depends where you secrete the models.....

First and it seems last visit in November gone.

@WRENNEIRE Dave are these sort of longer term plans after the small GMs or are we talking about 201s and mkIIIs going to production this year already? It's an ambitious list of stuff to get out.
-
By the time these coaches were in the IR livery the only remaining first class coach was only used on Dublin-Belfast services IIRC. I think a pair of standards would be more prototypical for this era but the first wouldn't be "wrong", just very unlikely to see a 4 coach train with that sole remaining first on a Belfast service I would imagine. The Mk2s were the mainstay on Dublin-Belfast until the DeDietrichs relieved them.

Merry Christmas everyone. Nothing railway related under the tree as I don't trust Santa to get me the right stuff lol. The main this is to have our health and happiness

Any pics of these different BR container variants for those of us with no clue about them?

According to this German wiki page, Booth Poole was taken over by Brittains in 1971: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booth_Poole_%26_Company My father had left them by then to start his own business.
-
This was Booth Poole I guess. My father's first "proper job" was there and he remained in the motor trade all his life.

I wonder did any of the Ford cars get shipped over the border by rail at all. This whole area is quite fascinating and this traffic didn't exist in later eras, so anyone wanting to model a train load of cars needs to be looking at the 60s and earlier it seems. Might encourage more folks to model the era!

Yeah great news. I have ordered the flying snail ones. I must be doing something wrong because I don't ever seem to get the partially button. I just opted to pay by card. I also noticed that when you click on checkout pre-orders without opening up the list of pre-orders, it just emties your cart and you have to start again. This happened to me with the Bulleids too. After starting again I was careful to click the drop down arrow to display the pre-order list before clicking on "checkout pre-orders" and then it went to the checkout (but like I said, no partially option was visible there, only the CC option).

Top work!

Roll on March! These will sell out the moment people start seeing them in the flesh, if not beforehand.

Murphy Models Class 121 Sound Fitting
murphaph replied to Chris Morris's question in Questions & Answers
They have a speaker fitted in the factory Chris. You just need to pop the bonnet off and fit a sound decoder. -

My first time at Warley. I'm surprising the young lad on Friday after school when we head to the airport instead of home. Very much looking forward to it.- 43 replies
