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

Thanks for that. I use a laptop too. I might try the filter so. Looking at the list there again, it seems to be just* lies* of repetition. Edit -Lines, not lies

Is there any point to this feature of the forum any more?. Just had a look and there are 1103 people online, the VAST majority being "guests". I like to check this every now and then to see who is on, but I was not scrolling through 37 or so pages. Its now 1378!

Welcome @Mac-70. Great to see new members.

Thanks Dave @DJ Dangerous, I think I may be sorted.

Hi lads, I am looking for a couple of 1980s era CIE buses for my layout. In order of preference- C class, M class, or SS class (school bus). I realise these would come as kits and that would be fine (rtr obviously better). Any help would be great. Thanks Derek

Hi lads, I am looking for a couple of buses for the layout. (1980s era). Would like C class (short) ,M class or even SS class (school bus). These can be seen in all their finery on " the buses of Tara Junction" by Noel ( @ttc0169 ). I will put this up on the for sale or wanted section too. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ha ha, bonnet holdy up bars works fine for me.

Neat use of a blue nailbar

Unbelievably good @Darius43. Blown away!

Don't think so @Mol_PMB. "Assumption is the mother of all f*** ups". That's what it was in my trade anyway

What a beautiful building, Kevin. Talk about symmetry! And brilliantly crafted by you. Again

Yes, I posted here yesterday evening (tongue in cheek) to smugly say that everything was going great and I couldn't be happier, after having trouble last week, but that post seems to have disappeared too. After that I couldn't even access the site. Served me right Should say, everything is going swimmingly now. I probably posted during migration?

No, I wouldn't say so. All other sites are behaving perfectly normally. And apart from that, a lot of other members seem to be having some trouble on and off as well. Working fine at the moment. Strange. Thanks for the reply

Shur , Jaysus, it was the best we could get with the budget! Alright, but I still think it's like something off a Christmas cake. You know , now that you mention it Mikey.............. To all here on the forum HAPPY CHRISTMAS LADS
