  1. Hi Northman Extra pictures attached showing metalwork detail on the Door handles, Buffers etc. I dont know what the matchboards are? Names on the coaches are Adrian, Onyx & Zenobia. Boxes in mint condition Thanks for looking roryon 087-6539302
  2. Spotless Hornby boxed 3 coach pack in presentation outer box. Never gets run as I'm switching tomallmirish rolling stock. Metal wheels on all bogies, illuminated table lights, loads of carriage detail on skin fittings, presentation quality and going for £100 unboxed on ebay Sell for €100 and I'll cover postage
  3. Thanks for that It's left over track from my first train set present years ago. Most of the curve radius are not suitable for modern loco's or rolling stock. I must post some images of it, it was a French loco but poor quality
  4. Thanks for the help, appreciated
  5. Evening Modelers.. I run a layout on DCC. This evening I noticed what looked like sparking coming between two track joints. When I inspected closer I saw that it was actually the glow of heat being generated between the two track joins and the plastic sleepers underneath were melting. I have run the layout for a year and this is the first time I would have seen this. One track piece as new hornby and the other track was old jeouf from the seventies but cleaned and with a new hornby track join slotted in Appreciate any thoughts on what could have caused this and how I prevent in future. I always have the entire layout unplugged when not in use Rory
  6. Might just take you up on that as im from Gorey and head up there every couple of weeks, I got talking to Tommy Nolan who grew up accross the road from my grandparents, small world!!
  7. Thanks Enniscorthyman Does the 071 chip work with the 201 or are they loco specific? Do you know when Wexford Model Railway Club are having their annual show again? Cheers
  8. Hi Folks I want to buy 1/2 sound chips for my DCC ready loco's I have a new release MM 201 and 181 that I want to convert, both have 21 pin slots Any recommendations on which chips work best with these or give the least problems? The 201 as you know already has a speaker fitted Cheers roryon, Cork
  9. yeah the detail is lovely, got it from Seamus Graham in Port Laois as the Hornby one is very poor quality
  10. Hiya, Cheers Some more pics, im waiting for the spring to get going again as my shed is freezing!!!
  11. Hi Here's mine but its very early days and looks rubbish compared to what yee guys have. If only the budget would grow!!!
  12. Hi Folks Only just joined the Forum and new to model railways. Currently building a 9 x 4 layout and addiction has set in. Met some good folk at the recent Wexford MRC show over the bank holiday weekend I've just got a new MM Class 201 (#203) and love the attn: to detail, slow running action, lights, everything. So I want to build up more Irish stock (currently have a pendolino which is a great runner and a flying scotsman) Whats the main difference if any between the Class 141 and 181? Do any come with speakers fitted, are they all DCC Ready (which is what I want as im going the DCC Route), id intend using it for shunting hornby/bachmann wagons Do they run particularly well with any specific wagons or coaches? Actually is there any coach that suits the 201 as its uncoupling some of my hornby wagons but admitedly this open happens on tight bends Where's the best place to go for weathering, any ballpark prices for doing a 181? Any comments appreciated roryon
