Very impressive work. Have you ever thought about making conversion parts for a BSK / BCK generator steam van?

These are from the recent batch of Mk2D coaches, purchased from IRM but they have never been opened. The three models are: MM5601A - EGV in Galway Livery MM5209A - Coach in Galway Livery MM5232A - Coach in Galway Livery €150 for all three, prefer to sell the three together. Collection in Galway or can post.

Thanks for that info. I will get a set of the magnifying glasses and try them. There is good illumination from LED ring light I have but probably worth getting additional illumination.

Specsavers are probably no worse than some of the charlatans posing as opticians that I have visited. Hopefully the guy I am going to next Saturday will get me sorted.

Just wondering what people are using to provide a clear view of their work area? I have a ring light with a magnified lens at the desk but it's awkward to have to look through so was wondering if there are any better solutions?

Got them today, yes they look excellent quality and no customs issues. However, with my eyesight the way it is at the moment I was struggling to see some of them clearly under my magnified ring lamp. Applying them may be challenge for me, hope my opticians appt next Saturday will get things sorted

That's good news. Paying VAT plus the An Post handling of charge on some transfers that cost less than a tenner is a bit hard to take.

OK, thanks Phil. Will probably be attached to my order also then.

I just ordered a set of Craven transfers and I expect they will be delivered in a small packet/envelope, but was wondering if small packets like these get stopped by Customs? Should I check with Railtec that there is a CN22 form attached?

Thanks Noel, Those photos are very useful, to be able to see where the tabs are located.

Thanks Eoin, I accidently dropped one of my coaches today. It was in the box and hit the floor face down. When I was examining the coach I noted the glazing wasn't bonded in place and was wondering if it has loosened or maybe was clipped into place and was always like that.

Are the windows part of a clear section that is attached inside the body frame or are they supposed to be bonded to the inside of the body frame? Has anyone ever dismantled a Craven coach?

No problem, I actually work in the field of s/w testing and validation, so finding bugs is my job

Just bought what I wanted on the accurascale.eu website no problem, using same address details! I replied to Patricks email to let him know.

I set up my account on irishrailwaymodels.com. I am based in Galway so definitely a valid Irish postal address. I'll follow up Monday but can't see how I have entered the address incorrectly.
