  1. I actually sent an order for the RPSI Cravens a year ago, with a cheque, by registered post. The RPSI denied receiving the order. Cheque was cashed, though. I gave up.
  2. I haven't seen hide nor hair of my B&I liners yet, so they probably won't arrive over here until well into the New Year. Presumably all these snags come as standard. I did receive an IRM Christmas card, though.......
  3. Not a modelling photo, but....
  4. So far, mostly working alright. It went to the recent Coventry Citroën event. Never mind a children's hospital - Crossrail or HS2 would do, or that nuclear plant that the French and Chinese are supposed to be building....
  5. I'm after spending that on my 31-yr-old Citroën CX over the last two years, partly due to gearbox failure. 'tis all relative.
  6. The Class 400 tenders appear in photos to be longer than those attached to the 500s. OT but pity no 400/500s survived; they seemed to have been long-lived engines and quite handy.
  7. Having also been interested in 186's large tender, there are some photos of the same general type attached to "500" class 4-6-0s.
  8. That's an example of an underslung post. More often seen on the other side of the Irish Sea. In model form, SSM produce suitable posts and arms for GSWR/CIE pattern. Failing that, you could also use the Stevens & Co., or Saxby & Farmer spectacle plates produced by Model Signal Engineering
  9. The mental jump to a £600 level for a British/Irish outline engine is quite a considerable one but, if it had been a continental HO model, that price level would be seen as reasonable! I suppose it's all about what you're conditioned to accept.
  10. Very tall driving wheels (5'8"?) for an 0-6-0. Reminds me of MR/LMS "4F", but on steroids.
  11. Small manufacturer bites the dust Presumably IRM / Accurascale are on rather stronger financial footings....
  12. .... plus some Bell / B+I liners.
  13. Hopefully it won't come to that. I did send my order and cheque in by International Signed & Tracked Post, so hopefully it'll reach Dublin by Christmas Eve.
  14. Hopefully they still have a few sets of the original run left; I'm just after sending in an order......!
  15. Was there a demand for the Irish Commonwealths in the end?
  16. Presumably the rest will be deemed surplus to requirements and flogged to the highest bidder?
  17. Maybe they should install those rising bollards / ramps directly in line with the barriers?
  18. If they'd built more Maybach "E" shunters, I could at least justify my numberplate......
  19. So a bit like the Ford Capri then - 'twas said there were no two cars that were exactly alike because there were so many permutations / options available to the customer.
  20. Or possibly that, by this point in their careers, there were no two that were absolutely exactly alike?
  21. ....but while there's music and moonlight and love and romance, Let's face the music and dance.
