I remember back to that time around 2005 as I bought two MIR 121 kits and
having no Internet,and knew no one as regards advice for chassis for locos etc
and it's only I think around 2006 with the old MSM site that things improved,and
come to think of it the old dial up connection was fun,but least there was a connection
with other Irish model railway people who could help with advice,and the
impending Murphy 141/181 in late 2007 (I think)seemed to explode the Irish scene.
