  1. 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.
  2. Very tall driving wheels (5'8"?) for an 0-6-0. Reminds me of MR/LMS "4F", but on steroids.
  3. Small manufacturer bites the dust Presumably IRM / Accurascale are on rather stronger financial footings....
  4. Put me down for a couple of sets of Commonwealth bogies, please.
  5. .... plus some Bell / B+I liners.
  6. Those bogie sides look the business.
  7. 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.
  8. Hopefully they still have a few sets of the original run left; I'm just after sending in an order......!
  9. Was there a demand for the Irish Commonwealths in the end?
  10. Presumably the rest will be deemed surplus to requirements and flogged to the highest bidder?
  11. Are these CNC Commonwealth frames available from you?
  12. Maybe they should install those rising bollards / ramps directly in line with the barriers?
  13. If they'd built more Maybach "E" shunters, I could at least justify my numberplate......
  14. 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.
  15. Or possibly that, by this point in their careers, there were no two that were absolutely exactly alike?
  16. ....but while there's music and moonlight and love and romance, Let's face the music and dance.
  17. Will you be doing anything to lift the firebox height a bit?
  18. Of course they can. Either cut your own axles, or wait up to 10 months for Ultrascale to cut them for you.

    Fry Model Railway

    Who knows? Sounds like there'll be nowhere for the O-gauge stuff to run, so maybe it will be disposed of?
  20. A39r and Bell liners now fully paid for.
  21. So will Tesco.
  22. Did Richard manage to sort out the outstanding £2.50?
  23. I suppose there'll be a fair few decidedly-used Bachmann Deltics hitting eBay once this all-new Irish one arrives.....
  24. As an alternative to MJT hornblocks, High Level produce some very acceptable (and compact) hornblocks and bearings - takes seconds to assemble and requires hardly any solder until ready to fix in the frames.
