I can't view that download, but I am sure it's great. Sigh.... Just ordinary uploaded videos for me

Can't view them, but frustratingly, I can hear them

FOC- Free of charge? Maybe..........

Cheers, Dave @DJ Dangerous

Kitchen cabinet doors as bench backs- that's a new one on me. Couldn't be up to that Kerry crowd

Thanks Denis, Patrick

Yes, I can finally see a pic now. Couldn't see any of the downloadable ones above. Probably the windows I'm running (8) is the problem, more than anything on Patrick's @patrick side.

A little more progress......... And a dozen of these fellows......

Love the bridge @patrick. That water looks almost real

Well holy God! Look who's back. Great to see an update @Metrovik. You have been busy. Buildings look great. Will the hotel be getting a roof? Why don't you mix up the colours of the buildings.....

Totally agree. Don't think MM website has been updated in about 27 years or something. You have to find out about new announcements in other ways. Sheesh......... First I heard of 141 rerun was on here.

Those replies are really enlightening lads. Thanks

Excellent. Wonder why the working timetables are stamped confidential in the second pic?

Top class as usual Noel. The running around sequence is excellent. Great to watch, especially with that sound. Love these updates

Thanks for that John- excellent footage. Amazing to see the one guy attempting to stop the rolling wagon alone, and then the three lads pushing the wagon along. Health and safety my eye. And then the boyos loading the cattle. The preferred method seemed to be running around like a lunatic while waving your arms frantically. Then, once cattle are on board apply a swift kick to the cows arse and ram the gate closed. At the end I think them lads were headed for the local. Great stuff

Received a nice email from An Post. For delivery of the tractor and trailer valued at 28.63 euro, they would like 6.57 vat and 4.95 handling charge before they deliver. Spare me........

Thanks Dave@DJ Dangerous, Jonathan@jhb171achill and Alan @Tullygrainey for your replies. Feel a bit like Goldilocks here but Dave, your trailer was too large for what I have in mind, as Jonathan pointed out, and Alan, your suggestion was a little too old era for the look I want. (Although those truck kits are beautiful) I have found a red massey tractor (manufactured mid 60's to mid 70's) and a gray livestock trailer (both Oxford). I think they will suit my purpose just about fine. Again thanks for taking the time to help.

Sorry, not Corgi but Oxford die cast. My mistake. Atkinson Cattle truck, two company names. 76ATKL004 or 76ATKL005.

Lads, does anybody know where I might get a cattle truck for the dock/ yard? Corgi do one (Atkinson) but it is of an older era. I am looking for something more 70's or 80's. Any help would be great, thanks

Thanks Jonathan. A bit to go yet

Fantastic stuff David. Great to see. Agree with Leslie, the buildings are phenomenal. Thanks for sharing

Cheers, Denis

A little more progress on the pens for the cattle dock Posts were made from 3mm x 3mm mahogany, and drilled out individually (some dose). Railings or bars were made from copper wire stripped from electric cable. Some weathering next and then gates. Getting there slowly...........

Dolores' name wasn't actually leaked. Her friends and her were in the pub when the Euromillions numbers came on , and her friend took her (Dolores) ticket to the television to check. As soon as the numbers came out, everybody in the pub knew about it amid whoops of delight. She never had a chance of keeping it quiet. Within an hour, half of Limerick knew about it.

For what it's worth, I use 3mm MDF as underlay. It gives a nice shoulder effect (nice to me anyway) . I put double sided tape on this instead of using PVA. Having used PVA for ballast previously I found running trains way too noisy. Tape is much quieter. Only drawback is that you have to apply ballast immediately after sticking down track. I know this is not a popular choice but it works for me.
