    Not knocking you, Paul. In fact you did me a favour, as I discovered I'd listed the same thing twice and had failed to show the Tara and the Ferts!!!!! I'll list those at the weekend at £80 a box. Now, that NIR Blue is very cheap according to my specialist in such things .......
  2. leslie10646
    Ahheeeeeem. Dare I say it, but I have those on sale on this forum at a much more reasonable price. See "Too Modern for me" under For Sale where the prices reflect what I paid for them ......

    Happy, St Patrick's Day, all. (A good Co. Antrim, Saint!!!!!) Enda sent me my present this morning - the prototype of our next wagon! Minor adjustments and we'll have three wagons to tempt you at Bangor!

    More from my "don't really need" collection! Please see previous posts for unsold items. Two sets of these ballast fllats (different packs). Never oout of the boxes! £80 a box (three wagons), delivered at Bangor, or posted at cost to UK. I may be a founder member of the RPSI, but these aren't likely to be run on my layout, so someone who wants them might as well have them. £120 for the three. I took them out of their boxes to let you see them properly. Again, collect at Bangor ....... Also, please see other listings above. Thanks Leslie

    As promised, more from Basingstoke. This is Fairfield Jct, modelled (pretty exactly) on the junction of that name to the West of Westbury. Now this layout had some terrific scenery modelling - look at this lane which could have been in Ireland - I'd never before seen Hawthorn in bloom modelled! Pretty good, eh? Now the actual junction, with (incorrectly, they never run here) a car carrying train! And then sans train. The white patch is the sun coming through a window!!!! And finally, the iconic HST in full GWR Bling tearing along - I do approve of layouts with full size trains! IMG_4763 2.MOV More later.....

    Two excellent exhibitions in two weeks. First a snip- from Abrail - Market Bosworth (P4). Turn sound OFF for videos - a very noisy place! Station building. Note the lack of the infernal combustion engines. EVERYTHING was correct for 1905-ish (I remember it well). I have never seen a "Lady of the Lake" model in action. No prizes, but why was one of them famous? IMG_4593.MOV The busy yard: IMG_4588 2.MOV And now, Midland Railway meets London North Western ...... IMG_4591.MOV Then this seriously wonderful 7mm layout. Trains came out from a terminal, whirled round the circle a few times and then went back to the terminal; constant changes of trains, shunting continuously and not a single word between the operators - a demonstration of how it's done! IMG_4634.MOV IMG_4632.MOV More tomorrow. MOTD is on! Typical of the English to rob us of the Championship? But they played very well. Enjoy

Thanks for looking. Leslie

    I'm sure that I have mis-identified these two gents, but I wondered what Gerry Fitt and Ted Heath were doing in Whitehead, let alone transporting?

    Folks I've been crawling around under the layout and bringing out things which were stored! Honestly, I have a small mountain of stuff which I know I will never run. Here's a starter, prices in Sterling and reflect what I paid for them I am happy to accept the equivalent in Euros, obviously. If you're on the Important Island, pick up at no extra cost at Bangor. The balllast wagons have never been out of the box, nor the "Spoil" flats. The Ballast vans adorned a siding on my layout for some years, but have never been run! The Guinness DID have a run around the layout - there's film here somwhere! All were bought new from IRM If you're interested, please PM me. Thanks. Leslie

    @airfixfan will not be pleased that you missed the CDRJC train at 1min 50-ish. Lovely film - everyone who likes British steam should take three minutes to watch it! PS Thanks for spotting it!
  12. leslie10646
    Delighted to know, Paul, that I have added to your backlog .........
  13. leslie10646
    Tut, tut, they are shown on the website .......
  14. leslie10646
    Wow, David, how many miles of plastic strip do you get through in a year? Well done with the new railcar, another work of art in the making.
  15. leslie10646
    I'm pretty certain that the scale Four Society Stores sells them, see: https://www.scalefour.org/stores/stores.html Back to my wagons for the hundreds who model on 16.5mm, I hope that Des is back soon as we need his decals for the new wagons!!!!!!
  16. leslie10646
    Ivan is right, up to a point, John. The wagons are scale width, but on a 16.5mm chassis. I persuaded Enda to produce a 9ft chassis, with the intention of planting different bodies on them, as he has done. I feel sure that Enda can produce a 21mm gauge chassis OK (he must answer definitively), but he'd want to see a decent order. I have guaranteed him up front for a large batch. I'll discuss with Enda off-line and post his reply - he's too busy with the next wagon - and working his printer to death ........
  17. leslie10646
    Just to show you a side view. Owners of my previous cattle wagons will note the neat roofs. These were a bit of an Achilles Heel with the kits. GNR above, SLNCR below: Personally, I think that Enda has done a great job - in a fraction of the time resin kits took from inception to reality! He's done a year's development in three weeks! Maybe there is some progress in the World?
  18. leslie10646
    Right, as Enda has stuck these things up on YouTube, we'd better give you the link! The first dozen of the "Joint" wagons: We're waiting for the transfers (nudge, nudge, Des) and I would remind you that the wagons will be sold WITHOUT couplings; people may prefer Kadees, or even three link(!); never fear, I'll have a supply of tension locks with me at Bangor which I will sell on at cost to those who need them). The couplings are on these to allow testing - which you can see here! You can see that they survive going through a fairly small radius point, forwards and reverse! They also are fine careering round Enda's Past Avenue layout and speeds well above cattle train speeds! https://youtu.be/D67iB5CwFOU?is=6NG91QajDQUQStBa Thanks, Leslie and Enda

    Well done @Blaine, you've provided a link to which donations in memory of Paddy can be sent. Guys, show your appreciation of all that Paddy has done for us by using the link above, where you'll find a link to give some Euros to Our Lady's Hospice, Harold's Cross, where Paddy was well looked after. If everyone registered to this forum gave just €10, the hospice would be €20,000 better off, to help them to keep up their good work. I've put my money where my mouth is - very politely may I suggest that you do the same? Thanks, Paddy, you founded a hobby!
  20. leslie10646
    Looking forward to seeing it at Bangor.
  21. leslie10646
    Well don, Patrick. Money well spent!!!!!
  22. leslie10646
    My Giddy Aunt, those Enterprise coaches sold at over £200 a pop! Someone's got money!
  23. leslie10646
    For the narrow minded: I'd missed this myself, if it's been on the site already: Our friend Roderick Bruce of 00 Works fame has branched into narrow gauge. Donegal wagons, RTR on eBay at the reasonablee price of £40 each. See: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/117024782619?_skw=irish+railway+models&itmmeta=01KJJHB1K5A767BQJMD4PN8AK6&hash=item1b3f38791b:g:6N0AAeSw~hhph6Ca&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xDYJ0dmLos9Ev0GY6M0xo1%2Bm%2FgLsvRABy9U3pE6ogZOP3mfwPypi6c0Gl41ePP%2F8k5uR4KK7sbr7Q26nGFyR7wtG%2F2iNVAyHXg6UR6R3WYCiz1COdI%2FU7Torf%2BW0fWD7skjQ4W9ymLlNQ8aTqDXH7AnePqUfAha5L1puACrKiaYlnghZS%2B0%2BB%2F5X00huL7xHOfCduZs1oPyu2v8lclX%2FA9%2BtistEB4UWoq522XmgWQ%2BHbpOiVbeYo0WgyhYpqPPAa4%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_KZrNGUZw You'll need to look at "seller's other items" to see the others. Great news for CDRJC modellers?
  24. leslie10646
    This is very sad news to wake up to. Paddy was, as others have said, the father of the modern Irish railway modelling scene and without him, would the rest of us have made a start in our own ways? I remember him telling me about fifteen years ago to get on with making more wagons to go with his superb 141s, which were a game changer. Always the gentle man and having the courage to risk his money and the patience to give us the models which adorn many of our layouts. We all owe him a massive debt. May he indeed Rest in Peace and Rise to Glory.

    Has it got an airport? While ye'd blink, he'll have a bomber squadron based there!
