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

    I've had the e-mail about it already!

    Equivocation is practically a national sport.

    There wasn't much money around even when property prices were reasonable (or unrealistically cheap by British standards) in the 1980s

    Presumably everything runs punctually?

    This must be on the single-line Dungeness section. Presumably the service is less intensive than for the rest of the line!
  9. Horsetan
    Same here. One of each if they're being made available.

    Just after paying the bill for this new trio....

    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...

    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.
  13. Horsetan
    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

    Hopefully that means used Hornby 50s will be flogged cheap on eBay - I need a spares donor for my pair of P4 conversions

    Amazingly, they had a couple of packs of ballast hoppers, so I bought one, having missed out on the original release.....

    Still no secrets

    Garda Siochana seem unable to keep hold of it, underfunded and understaffed as they are. Meanwhile, over in Turd World Britain, 'tis Feral Central here....!

    The best thing the Euromillions rollover winner could do is emigrate, mostly for his or her own safety. When Dolores Macnamara won £115m (a record sum at the time), not only was her name leaked incredibly quickly, but credible threats were made to kidnap her son in the hope of extracting a large slice of the win. There's no secrets in Ireland, except maybe where crimes have been committed. Also, we've always had a noticeable feral element in society - never more so than now.
  19. Horsetan
    Horses walk in a specific way, so the correct order in which each hoof contacts the ground still needs to be reproduced. And if you want the model horse to trot, that's a whole different arrangement.
  20. Horsetan
    I think it will take developments in nanotechnology to filter through to modelling before we can have moving figures, working horses and other animals, bicycles, etc.
  21. Horsetan
    I wonder if 68633 or no.87 might become a future variant....?

    That would make them unavailable to thè general public. Not necessarily a good idea - remember what happened to the Phoenix range of coach kits when they were taken over by the SRG a couple of decades ago. They were so disorganised that the kits were never really available again, and the range is now dead.

    Also the only one offering etches for the NCC "W" and "WT"

    Horsetan replied to Colin R's topic in News

    If you paid in advance for two etches, surely the transaction should be completed, regardless of whether control has now passed to whichever society it is? I don't know if I should see if that Diagram U autotrailer is (still) available.

    No updates to his website, so it looks like he may still be trading.
