  1. Fair play lads-ye could be up to worse things like chasing women and beer. Although to think of it ,there is nothing wrong with chasing women and beer when you are young and single.
  2. This is whats going on in the man shed at the moment- I got this wills Post office kit that i am converting to a an post version. This is a fecker to build as you have to cut out windows and doors and trying to cut the plastic is a %%%%%%s. The kit comes with a nice phone box so I have tryed the paint from a cement bubble (Ivory) which seems to work well along with the an post green for the mid section. I am trying different paint shades for these dapol poles. Next on the list is to convert my hornby deltic chassis for my sound chiped a39 SF.The deltic chassis seems to run lovly and smooth.
  3. FairPlay to you for working hard to save up for the 071s. You may not have a layout at the moment but it is a good idea to collect as much as you can as perhaps in the future you may have your own house to have a proper layout.
  4. I think the 101s had that large wheel like on the A and C class for throttling.
  5. Last year I built a sort of Demo layout for a vintage club field day. It went down a storm with both Adults and kids alike.And while the Layout was basic and built quickly,people that normally would not see any model railway layout let alone a Irish one with Irish stock were stunned to see locos and stock they remember as kids. Education of the public for our hobby is important as the most common question in where the feck can you get all this Irish stock. I building a new unit that will slot into Gerrys unused Ballybeg and hope To show at the next vintage day in September .
  6. From what I read the Irish government would not allow the spending of so much US dollors on locos at the time. Probably some trade agreements kicked in to.
  7. I do need another decoder for my 222 and was wanting to get the TCS 21 pin that you got and see if Gerry can get it to work.
  8. I look forward to see how you get on with this.
  9. Bullied did not want the order for the A and C class's to go to MV and had wanted the CIE board to look at American loco builders and in particular GM.However as we know his advice was not taken and the large order went to MV. I have read some good articles about this on IRRS journals.
  10. I was near Enniscorthy station yesterday and spotted a PW machine that I have not seen before. It looked like a single Windoff(pardon spelling) with two yellow cabs at each end and a load of Concrete sleepers in the mid section and a small fold up crane behind one cab. Any ideas????. She did look good and any close models available.
  11. Great shots there Noel.I will try and get a few at some later stage as they are fab looking.
  12. Thanks Rich,and I got a nice Hornby deltic from the kids for the birthday.although I won't tell them it will be cut up for my a class body.
  13. Thanks for advice lads, I will get in contact with him soon. Has any one else here got any of the mk3 pp yet.
  14. That's strange as I gave a order to SF ages ago and got a reply but have heard nothing since to say that They are ready.
  15. There is a puddle there Broithe,although you can't see it in any photos.When I have the gates up and running you will see it.
  16. The thanks must go to you Des for bringing out these kits and making the hobby so much more enjoyable. The LC gates need more work to finish and will post more photos when done.
  17. I would love to have a look when you get some Dave. Was there to be a Irish Dennis fire engine out from oxford diecast at some stage?.
  18. When you mention The Silver Fox Mk3 PP driving car and coaches,any one hear when they will be out.
  19. Just finished the SSM ground signal kit.:banana:Quite small parts so you will need good eye sight or go to specsavers to build this kit.
  20. They do look fab and I would love a few but money is tied up for 071s and other bits.
  21. Hi Ger, It seems to be a problem with the PCB as I done meter reading on the connection and not a peep Out of it.
  22. Lovely stuff there bud. The windoff looks good,and would not mind one Myself.keep the dirt and filth going.
  23. Thanks Rich,and as you said credit to Des for such a nice kit.You can see in the photo when compared to the Brittish gate that it gives the layout a true Irish feel.
  24. Via youtube-Klaus Schulze live 1977.
