    Goods traffic is about to increase significantly at Dugort, it might escape Todd Andrews axe yet! This is a nice wagon, I'll definitely pick up a pack

    Big anniversary for CIE coming up on 1 Jan 2025 .. would be a nice way to acknowledge it
  4. Flying Snail
    nice ... but whats this 'ish' bit? ... does that mean we get flag logo instead of the 3-pin plug?
  5. Flying Snail
    The original and best livery! Do some of them still have their front gangways? If so, I hope its applied to some of those for the real authentic look! It feels like yesterday when they first came out ....

    Nice .. 154 was one of my three Babies today!
  7. Flying Snail
    Oh, they'll be well hid! My fall back line when she happens across me playing with a new loco that she hasn't seen before is that the liveries are interchangeable - vinyl overlays or some such

    Since we're still speaking of threesomes: Just received notification from An Post that I have three on their way to me today Don't worry - herself is at work and the dog won't grass me up

    Great builds as always - love the weathering on the brake 3rd!!

    Comparing design notes??????? Very impressive work by the way Killian and GSR - Nice to see the WLW in the mix as well as the Queens!

    Apparently you'd also need to be emissions free @jhb171achill. My pot belly runs on Guinness, so thats probably no good anyhow

    steel under frame and wheels ... go on, you know you want to
  13. Flying Snail
    Now that we've seen he's a dab hand at the old metal work too, I fully expect him to decide to mount it on a steel under frame and wheels by summer .... watch this space!!!!
  14. Flying Snail
    You'll have an old pot belly stove in there, surely?

    Hands down the best 1:1 scale model of a SLNC (or any company's) van to grace these pages This is a really great project, I really enjoy following it. Well done @Gabhal Luimnigh!!!!!

    Updates as of last Tuesday here:

    Just watched it now - nice video of a great layout!
  18. Flying Snail
    Nice looking loco!
  19. Flying Snail
    It looks like a couple of J15s had gearbox issues in Raheny in 2022 ....
  20. Flying Snail
    They're moving fast, I see 186 is already out of stock and three more are already down to single digits!! I have a few on their way to me, but I was holding out until pay day to see if I would grab a couple more .. looks like I'll miss that train
  21. Flying Snail
    Bulleids looking very well in a wonderful setting: Borris looks excellent. The A class weathering job looks class too!

    I've bought recently from Rails. Its relatively straight forward - no customs charges (and no UK VAT), but you will have to pay Irish VAT and the customs handling fee
  23. Flying Snail
    I'd buy that too DJ! It will be 80 years since the foundation of CIE on 1st Jan next - wouldn't it be a nice way to celebrate the anniversary by putting out a real-life 201 in a lined green livery with flying snail logo? Maybe some of the IE employees on here can stick that in the suggestion box next time they're passing the Board Room?

    I got in touch with Rails' customer service today to see if there was an update on the pre-orders for the Hattons Genesis coaches. This was their response: "We haven't yet started to raise the orders for the Genesis coaches but will be doing so in the near future. As long as you had a confirmed preorder with Hattons, we will fulfil this preorder." So, no updates yet but it looks like we can expect to hear from them soon
  25. Flying Snail
    I've just seen the email too. Great to see the 071s on the way later this year - I had thought they'd be behind the 201s given that that 201 liveries had been announced before
