    I haven't had time this week to open the wreck of the parcel, but will get round to it on Saturday. It's currently sitting there, looking like the elephant in the room.

    Interestingly, having looked at all the photos so far, it does look to me like there's a slight variation in the depth of the wheel flanges amongst some of the models.

    Has anyone dared to shorten the IRM "A" into an approximation of a "C"?

    My cousin's mental alarm bells went off when he found out I was walking from the flat in Bow Bridge Place, through St. James and into the city centre. I only did that because it was more reliable than waiting for a bus. I could have walked out via Heuston and along the quays as an alternative. The other thing my cousin told me was never to park my Fiat Punto in Ballyfermot as it was unlikely I'd see it again if I did.

    I was frequently in the same area between 1998 and 2003 (and may even have walked past you without knowing; who knows!?) and my cousin - at the time a junior doctor at St. James - kept telling me I was lucky not to end up as one of his daily patients since he often had to patch up those who had either been assaulted, stabbed, or otherwise injured due to general inebriation.

    Ulcer sez no!

    There's a few items of Irish 3ft and even 1'10 over the other side. I'm not sure there was much, if any, wibbling when they went!

    Update: the local post office has found the parcel and we have retrieved it! It does look like it has either been drop-kicked or partly crushed in transit....

    That's what happens when society becomes ever more feral.

    The question is whether the really bad ones will happen more often.

    I bet you're not keen on sausages now

    These figures never stand still and I think we have to realise that this only covers the place until the next flood, unless the powers that be are motivated to design and introduce flood prevention/diversion measures.

    They might only have lasted up until the 1990s before being withdrawn, just as the As and Cs were at that time.

    According to the GLS parcel tracking, the RPSI set I ordered has made it to Britain, but then the trail goes a bit cold. I have a Parcelforce track number which claims the parcel was subjected to an attempted delivery on Valentine's Day, and then left at the local post office. My friend and I went to that post office today, only to be told that the parcel was not there!! Hope it hasn't been stolen....

    The connecting rods should be inside of the coupling rods, though.

    It looks like a gigantic shunting puzzle

    What's the asking price?

    To be fair, when I look at the room available on my daily Thameslink to / from central London, a horse could easily stand - and turn round - in the central section between the sliding doors.

    You might remember that awkward scene in The Commitments....

    Colin Massingham, of whom it was said that he was a stranger to engineering drawings, preferring instead to guesstimate by eye - see his early Steamcast kits for various BR Standard engines. The Elcrappo brand also covered his 7mm standard gauge kits.

    Sharman wheels on this one. Again quite distinctive.
  24. Horsetan
    Aren't the Bachmann / Murphy mounting points supposed to be a bit different to the IRM ones? Not sure a direct swap is possible.
  25. Horsetan
    The very last one might have been the bid too far....
