Black and white pic is the business

Absolute magic Ernie! I have always loved that bridge scene, and to see it take shape is really great. You are a true artist. No other word for it. Thanks for sharing. Makes me depressed now however to look at my own feeble attempts at modelling.

Lovely Noel. The two lads in the kayaks must be fairly hard up for somewhere to practice their craft.

Beautiful

Hi @murphaph. I got the file from him. It was a pub file, which my son converted to pdf. It was a list of IRM models (no prices). He told me in his reply that he also had Murphy/bachmann stuff which he had to dig out. He said he would send this list too, when he was sure what he had. It seemed ok to me to be honest. But I agree with you that he should have just followed guildlines and posted list/photos here along with prices. I messaged him last night asking what had happened to the post , but as yet have heard nothing back. BTW I opened the file on my wifes phone and it is still working away ok so far. Edit- A search on RM web shows no results for his name. Hmmmmm.......................

Lads, does anybody know what happened to @M18Hellcats ad about selling his stock. Ad completely gone. Even if he sold out, ad should still be here yes?

He already has an airport here (well landing strip anyway). It's called Shannon

Bubbles look great. Love the graffiti etc

Welcome belatedly so, Finbarr

Thanks for that @popeye. Most helpful

HORNBY?

Hi lads. Just looking for information regarding plastic kits. With @leslie10646 kits of cattle wagons ,( of which I have three), he recommends using Halfords gray primer to paint as a finished colour. With Jim Poots' bus models, he recommends using plastic primer as an undercoat before painting. My question is whether these two products are the same, and would Halfords gray primer do the job for both. Thanks in advance Derek

Welcome Paul, the more the merrier.

Fantastic Noel, as usual. A very entertaining 14.35 mins. I see the Aer Lingus 747 has finally gotten off , freeing up the airspace for BA?

So sorry to hear this terrible news, Noel. Truly shocking. Just to echo what the lads have said above and to wish you and your family (and your furry family , not forgetting them) every good wish for the future. Concentrate on what you can manage going forward, and what makes you happy. Derek

Fabulous! Love the canal Noel. And the shot from "inside the mill" is the absolute dogs.

Thanks @Mol_PMB. I wouldn't have a clue in fairness. Just surmising. Knew someone would put me straight

Maybe the horn being sideways and the wiper missing were just old age/ neglect in later years

Talking of absent mindedness, a former boss of mine must have invented the term. Having completed the manufacture of a fitted kitchen, we ( including the boss) loaded up the white van for delivery to site. This even included strapping some stuff to the roof. Job done, boss hands out instructions for the next job in the workshop, then goes outside, jumps into the much smaller blue van. He drives the empty van 8 miles to the site, only to discover his blunder. Had to be seen to be believed.

Some more done to the yard. More to do......... Next job will be assembling the two bus kits recently got .And then I need to turn my attention to making a proper station building which will allow me to complete the yard.

Now you know...... @Patrick Davey

Kevin, I was thinking of scrapping my shed as I thought it didn't look "Irish" enough. But having seen your drawings I think I will reconsider. Thanks for saving me a job

Unbelievably good! Agree about the first pic- superb. Looking forward to this one. One thing though- the ol t-shirt for a blind leaves something to be desired

A roof maybe? . Seriously, though, looking great

Ah do! You never know what you might be missing
