Humbrol don’t really tell anyone about the cancer causing agent in there paint until the new EU rule came in and suddenly stopped it. Even marks models were supprised to find they were given little notice that they couldn’t sell it anymore… cosches look deadly. Particularly in Green

Do you know the story JHB or is that something you need a few pints in you to explain first I do not mind them so much at all. I was never a fan of the recently gone “claas” green and blue. Obviously the orange livery is the most fun…Albiet unsafe for modern standerds

The theory at the moment is that when the new darts land (2026)…..the 29ks will be sent to cork to work this new service. I don’t think it will mean the end of the road for the 2600 class though

Recent photos suggest this model could have a chassis built in. in which case. I’d almost be tempted to cancel my hattons pre order!

even a dunce like me who uses nothing more then reverse tweezers and a sink tap full of moderately warm tap water can use em

Might be a good zoom to discuss the viability of any railway into the future

My marks models receipt from the time says €120 I think….must investigate that one

Stradbally is one stop from portlaoise. On one of the bus services. So take the train to portlaoise from Dublin or cork

Didn’t know maebh did mainline runs with GSR coaches???

something more familiar on the workbench. this coach was free! But it has no bogeys (those ones are from an identical model and I removed the under coach bit). The green is much more accurate but the lining is a bit worse! To thick altogether but hey, it was free and experimentation is good

A very SWB 6 wheeler might be something I very need!

It isn’t the most clear picture in the world. But rhid must be down by cork shed. The way the grass bank is in the backround and the engines 100 and the midland tank.

There is no RTR C Class from IRM yet. So I’d try get a A class in supertrain

Yeah I’d probobly just swap it

from the USA it seems. I think the seller saw other MM products and got excited these cost 30-40 at the model show!

I’d like to think the report is published with a map and description of the Letterkenny to derry line that just stops at the border

Never ever had it, nor have seen it in stores for years

Spotted that one…..unbelievable to me that colour footage of pre-emergency railways in Ireland exist

That’s Evan Kelly, he has been trying to sell that Mogul on all the Facebook groups. I suppose it would sell on eBay…eventually…

Yes there isint actually anything between the chassis spacing it apart. one side has the pickups that mayner was referring too. I must look at what peices I do have and see what I can come up with to complete the chassis the motor it came with is well knackered, beyond repair. Again a static display would be a good outcome for this chassis in particular

No footplate either….all I seem to have is enough to make a cab!

Looking at the kit it looks as though half of it is missing unfortunately. no side tanks, none of the bits and pieces like the funnel ect…. Basically not nearly enough to finish a locomotive I would think.

Today I got half a Tyroconnel models (TMD) MGWR J26 (E-Class) or rather the remains of an attempt to do it. Half the kit is missing and the chassis is complete. I think this is a good opertunity to re-use some of the parts….any suggestions?

i like an eejit looked for it on geohive before realising the station in question is in County Tyrone!
