  1. It was ever thus. That's why general neglect and dereliction is still a common sight in Ireland
  2. Same here, please
  3. Horsetan

    Cement Bubbles

    I've had the e-mail about it already!
  4. Equivocation is practically a national sport.
  5. There wasn't much money around even when property prices were reasonable (or unrealistically cheap by British standards) in the 1980s
  6. Presumably everything runs punctually?
  7. This must be on the single-line Dungeness section. Presumably the service is less intensive than for the rest of the line!
  8. Same here. One of each if they're being made available.
  9. Just after paying the bill for this new trio....
  10. The Irish public will generally only get involved if someone else is paying for it. It was ever thus - just look at all the various proposals for building Irish branch lines; the mere mention of having to fork out for it was enough to see interest melt away from most.... I'd say the more immediate concern is a reliable source of fuel for all the steam locomotive fleet, as eco-mental concerns have deliberately made domestic coal unavailable. Current experiments with eco fuels suggest miniature and narrow gauge engines can run (expensively) on it, but standard gauge not so much...
  11. If you're happy to work with P4 standards, then all relevant trackmaking gauges for Irish 21mm are available from Scalefour Society Stores. Code 82 FB is currently available from S4 Stores, the EMGS Stores, and C&L. Code 75 FB is only produced by PECO; I haven't seen anyone else offer it.
  12. There's the PlugTrack function as well, so you could print your own 21mm if you're not too fussed about having the correct 1-in-20 rail inclination
  13. Hopefully that means used Hornby 50s will be flogged cheap on eBay - I need a spares donor for my pair of P4 conversions
  14. Amazingly, they had a couple of packs of ballast hoppers, so I bought one, having missed out on the original release.....
