  1. Off-topic, but your observation above did make me wonder why the creators of Macromedia Flash Player, etc. would not cater for things like i-Pads and Windows Phones.
  2. Piracy was a major factor behind the demise of Kemilway in the early 1980s (someone cloned their etched footbridge kit) and even today there are one or two kits on the market which have artwork that is strikingly similar in parts to what Kemilway did in the 1970s.
  3. Even a sneak preview would get us salivating!
  4. I haven't seen much comment on this from Sinn Fein. If they were ever able to form a Government, I do wonder if they would actually be as different as they claim to be, or whether it would simply be more of the same old under-the-table politics and business that we've seen from FF and FG.
  5. The Irish have to be, because there's so little of the network left.
  6. They would look good walking into Abrakebabra.
  7. "I will, yeah" actually means "I will me ars*"
  8. I think it would be difficult to satisfy demand if you're relying on just one person to do all the work. And the likely demand is another problem: in modelling, you've got quite a lot of people who are all for a particular model coming out, saying "I will, yeah", and then don't buy it.
  9. There are bogie versions of that - I think the UIC/SBB type code is "Fals"
  10. Presumably someone who's going to sink a few million Euro into tooling.....
  11. See you all on 20th March for the signalling lecture....
  12. Yes, this turned up here as well. On Thursday is the London monthly evening lecture, and it's covering Irish signalling practice, aspects of which have been something of a mystery.....
  13. That's actually not too terrible. There would be a facility to go 21mm gauge as well, with care.
  14. See second post on this thread....then read the rest of it! The chassis obviously is fixed / static only, but they've even copied the flangeless trailing truck wheels, whilst the brake rigging is pretty much a straight copy of the Hornby one.
  15. Apparently it's a knock-off of the Hornby (China) model.
  16. "Ye wouldn't have anything from the Allied side at all?"
  17. If you're mad enough, you could put a proper chassis under some of those......
  18. Right-hand crank lead. That was the confirmation I needed, and there it all is, out in the open!
  19. If they are "OO", then they'd be the first Continental "OO" to be produced since the days of Kitmaster in the '50s and '60s. Normally everything Euro-Continental is "HO" scale.
  20. Bachmann do make Euro HO under the Bachmann-Liliput label, which they took over from the Austrians many years ago.
  21. ....and how many of us have?
  22. The J15s were at their best with the "Z"-type boiler and Belpaire....
  23. I was thinking more along these lines:
