    Christmas 1972 my Dad bought a second-hand Marklin train set from a work colleague and it was set out on the dining table on Christmas morning. I can still see it now - my Grandad had built a tunnel for it (from scratch) and a station and signal box (using the Airfix kits). It was a roundy roundy with a passing loop but was absolutely fantastic. Two steam locos and some 4-wheel tinplate coaches. Happy days. Cheers Darius

    Thanks Lambeg man. There’s also a colour photo of No.64 in this livery on page 47 of The Ulster Transport Authority in colour. Cheers Darius

    Hi Robert, Also plan to install the interior seating, water tank filler pipes, headlamps, and buffer beam details (including those red box things with the plugs). Then complete the trio with No.64 in UTA Brunswick Green. Cheers Darius

    Great book - the appended list of aircraft that he flew in his career (487) is amazing. He holds (posthumously) the record (2,407) for the most number of carrier landings for a pilot. The US tried to beat the record but their pilot had a nervous breakdown attempting it. Cheers Darius

    Very nice work. Always had a soft spot for the Fairey Gannet - so ugly it’s beautiful. Cheers Darius

    Darius43 replied to Warbonnet's topic in News

    My Ferts arrived today. Many thanks to all at IRM/IRM(UK)/Accurascale. Once we get the circuit completed in the shed I can get the 70 Class power car hauling a rake of Fertiliser wagons. Cheers Darius

    RMWeb had to change server host due to poor performance and as a result of more of the same performance most of the photos/documents uploaded onto RMWeb before that time have been lost - decades worth!!! Darius

    Errant post

    I went for RMWeb Gold to support the site when it was first offered, which was before the big database issue earlier this year and the ever worsening advertising issues. As such I don’t get any ads apart from BRM related ones. Cheers Darius

    More information on Trix/Liliput here. Cheers Darius

    Hi. The Trix UK models were in the main produced to a scale of 3.8mm to the foot, so they are sort of HO-ish compared to OO, but they were of good quality and fidelity compared to the Triang/Hornby/Dublo models of the time. The AL1/Class 81 model was an exception, being produced to 4mm to the foot scale. It also, in my view, looks more like an AL1 than the Triang-Hornby or Hornby-Dublo AL1s. Cheers Darius

    Dunprimin… Cheers Darius
