Not sure why in particular but I see a fair few media outlets up here reporting on lengthening Enterprise services, I thought this was old news or has something else happened?!

Yes indeed, happy days! We must have been on those same trains

I used to love the RPSI Mincepie Special after Christmas, Belfast--Dublin and return, alas those days are gone

that's true, but I reckon it's a passing phase for the ex-BR locos, for those who knew these machines from their childhood spotting days in the '50s and '60s, what will these plates go for when it's their offspring selling them ten years hence or more and no-one apart from us few oddballs have any interest?

just looking at the items, some right old tat in there and also some interesting historic stuff, like the UTA rolling stock book. interesting to see how much the posters and paintings are being listed at, is that where the market is? anyway, good luck to those bidding

Great stuff, happy birthday! Intriguing, two new somethings I'll be watching with interest cheers, Keith

excellent, I never did start building the kit! great to see these cheers, Keith

https://www.accurascale.com/blogs/news/park-royal-update-production-underway this has spurred me on to place an order!

I'm enjoying my leafing through the book on this sunny Sunday morning, especially drawn to page 23 and a picture of A class 003 with a short train of fuel tanks and bubbles, inspiration. Plus the inside back cover mentions a forthcoming volume 4, in 2026. Excellent

Exactly!

I was going by the running lights!

It's about time but you think they'd got the train running on the right line at least If that's the airport off to the right that train is heading to Bangor!

according to their web-site, for postage: Europe Weight based shipping see price on checkout

Hodges Figgis in Dublin have the first two vols listed, presumably they'll get the third too.

I have the first 2 IRR vols and they are excllent, just saw IRR vol 3 is now in print so that's been duly ordered https://ttpublishing.co.uk/product/irish-railway-rover-part-3/ cheers, Keith
