I sure will.it will be next week as I will be down to either Ballybeg or the Deeps layout so I look forward to giving her proper run with stock.

Nice photos there.My Grandfather drove on the Harcourt Street line, but died in 1929 when my Dad was 3. This photo is one of the few I have of him,showing him in Ferns station in the 1920s,he is on the right,and anyone know what loco this is ?.

How about thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoAQcGqo4hc You cant beat a bit of dark ambient.

I got this book a few weeks back on Fire Engine builder HCB-ANGUS who were based in the UK and built a fare few machines for the Irish market.A very enjoyable read and lots of photos on different units produced.

Its so sad to see the demise of rail freight and you only have to look at the rail freight video made in 1991 to see the drastic loss to the railways and what used to run and indeed lines as well.

She nearly did.I was using the dynamis which I use for testing etc,but it could have been a disaster.

Ultravox of have a new album out called brilliant. It's the first new material since 1986.The album can be previewed on I tunes.it sounds good to me.

I just got the June journal and a good feature on the Clonsilla-Navan line with nice photos of the line prior to closure,and showing GAA specials and A class haulage along with photos of stations along the line.My favourite is a photo of a A class hauling a GAA special in june 1962 over a viaduct near Bective.Also the front cover photo of a Cattle special at Dunlavin on the Sallins Tullow branch is wonderfull.

I have just about finished A39 with sound chip.She has a Hornby deltic chassis cut and shut which is a superb runner and I sourced a 8 ohm round speaker to suit.All that is left to do is stick on bogie side frames.I have included a quick video of her on my only working bit of track,but I hope to include better shots when I get to someones full layout to give it a good run.The loco nearly ran off the end piece as its hard to video and control on such a small lenth of track. The video does not do the sound full credit but I hope people get the jist of the sound till I get better shots. Click on image to view below.

Looks fab,best of luck.

Kate Bush-what a voice,and as been said her music still sounds good.

Fantastic job well done.

I love it,well done and very impressive work.

Very impressive work,and your shed is just perfect,well done.

They both sound good to me.The video of the new MM071 with sound is fantastic and captures all the power and glory of the real thing.Jeepers I am glad the new chips are not 135 quid as it's expensive enough.

I had posted this on the old site,so for anyone who has not seen it,here is the sound chiped MIR 071 that I had a loan of last year which has the lok sound decoder.

Good man Shem,do afew miles for me.

Glad ye liked the photos. The Wexford club have done a great job and fair play to all involved.

I sure do Rich.I love Enigma and Deep Forest as well. I must check out Peter Gabrial.

I love Dead Can Dance -Yulunga

Simply fab job on 187.The new 071s will look fantastic with your weathering and you copy the dirt on 078 on my avatar photo will give you one to do.

Same here,can't wait.

Noel,the 071 class sound chip is the best from what I have heard between it and the 201 and 141.I had a loan of one of Gerry Byrnes 071s a while back and she Is a beaut.must get a chip when funds get better.
