    It's almost as if he senses that his time upon this Earth is limited, so he's going to build as many models as possible in the remaining lifespan....!

    With current technology, you can forget about doing Pandrol.

    Templot will do pretty much any gauge you specify, within reason. I've seen a Plugtrack sample in the flesh and, for what it is, it's very good since you can potentially print out endless stretches of P4-standard 5'3" with pointwork to match. The only thing it doesn't do is have chairs that replicate the inward 1-in-20 tilt of the rail heads - the software isn't advanced enough to do this - so in this respect it's not that different to the old Hornby-Dublo and Triang-Hornby RTR track with strictly vertical rail (teamed with steamroller tyres and pizza cutter flanges)

    I wonder who the original maker / supplier of the gear set is. It's not unknown for the individual gears to be machined from unsuitable or incompatible stock, leading to premature wear or stripping within a comparatively short timespan.

    There must be at least fifty shades of it

    Will they now.....

    I suspect the last thing Paddy wants is a room full of random spares sitting there potentially beyond his retirement age.

    I'm not sure airships needed any help being phased out after the Hindenburg thing.

    Donedeal is where all those cars from over the water get flipped!

    To the Chinese, everything is fair game. But the devil take you if you poach anything of theirs.....

    If they are like hen's teeth, try a grand. Each. Should see off the flippers/price gougers.

    I had both North and South. South was alright as far as it went, but did seem curiously underdeveloped at the Dublin end, as if the programmers had lost patience by this time and just wanted to get it all signed off.

    I'd have thought Lough Erne was more promising as a vanity project, no?

    Not seen Lifford Bridge from this angle before. Hadn't realised it was that close to the end of the platform!

    Are you using High Level hornblocks and guides?

    Needs turning down on a lathe to meet P4 standards

    Standards of cleanliness weren't high, in short.

    My money is still on the Guinness saddle tank no.3. Failing that, the 0-6-4T Lough Erne or the DSER K2 2-6-0 no.461. No outside valve gear.

    I think it should be possible to separate the sides from the central structure and then grafting in extension pieces to widen it before gluing the sides back on. That's the only thing I can think of as I don't think IRM B4s are available as spares and, anyway, their mounting is a bit different to Murphy's. Not aware of sprung bogies being available for 21mm, but could be adapted from P4 ones.

    There's generations' worth of lack of values.

    Mainly because, in recent years, it seems to bring out the worst in people.

    Feral.
