    Hi Weshty, I just tried clicking on http://www.studio-scale-models.com to browse your kits but it doesn't appear to be working anymore. Have you got a stock list somewhere you can share? Edit: Just tried it in a different browser and the link works!

    Arrived at lunch time today, all present and correct - Danke DHL! ( ... and Rails too of course )

    I've received my shipping notification this morning ..... <and breathe >

    I'm glad it was helpful John. I'll be driving in to it along the N7 too and I plan to take the M50. As for parking - the school is beside a residential area, and its the weekend, so parking in one of the adjacent housing estates should be fine so long as you follow Blaine's advice and you don't block driveways etc.

    If you're planning on driving Google Maps has been updated to reflect the changes - just plug in your starting point and the destination for route options and journey times: https://www.google.com/maps You'll find full details of the traffic measures under the Traffic Plan here: https://www.dublincity.ie/residential/transportation/city-centre-transport-plan-2023/dublin-city-council-transport-plan-faqs Also, a word of warning: the Dublin City Marathon is on Sunday the 27th. So driving through the city will involve road closures. More here: https://irishlifedublinmarathon.ie/traffic-information/

    I knew you'd hop on board the jeep eventually

    I only remembered it because, like you, I thought it was an excellent idea. I hope IRM continue to do them where they can

    IRM have done some Irish formation guides. There's one here for their IR/IE Mk2s and there's another for the NIR stock somewhere too Edit: it's here - https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/10440-irm-announce-nir-enterprise-mark-2-coaches/page/13/#comment-228005

    Jeepers Leslie, you sound like you're feeling a little blue there ....
  10. Flying Snail
    Exciting! ... and also what I think it'll be ...
  11. Flying Snail
    Thankfully, the CCTV footage is very clear so I would be confident they'll all be identified. After that? Well, we'll see what happens.
  12. Flying Snail
    No. Shipping to Ireland is separate - I was given two options: Parcelforce (£15) and DHL (£20).
  13. Flying Snail
    Nice, and its pretty clear whats the genesis of this idea! I've preordered a LNWR set. I wonder will we get Irish versions Has anyone been in touch? ... @jhb171achill
  14. Flying Snail
    Yes - my order has the B&T van. It was listed in my invoice this morning.
  15. Flying Snail
    Got my invoice this morning, paid now and on their way (to Ireland) Edit: I jumped the gun - while I paid for them on the morning of September 20, they were not fulfilled that day (As of October 11, I'm still waiting for confirmation that my order has been dispatched)
  16. Flying Snail
    You're not. I've yet to receive mine. Their email said to wait until the 20th before getting in touch - it sounded like its a busy week for them .... ... I'd say they must be over at the ploughing trying to figure out how much of a margin Mark's Models are getting on the John Deere and Massey Ferguson models! Edit: The 'ploughing', for those across the water (and maybe the more remote parts of Dublin), is one of the biggest outdoor events in Europe - north of 200,000 people will attend the 'National Ploughing Championships' this week: more here

    Nice. There's more than a few gems in there ... but the Turfburner caught my eye, and that little GNR building at the end of the bay platform too!
  18. Flying Snail
    Got the email too, really looking forward to finally getting my hands on them. I have a LNWR and a LMS set already - lovely little carriages!

    Nice, very nice ... I had managed to hold off the temptation for one to complement my Manor but I could never resist a nice red, so L91 is now ordered!
  21. Flying Snail
    Are going to move the Kallax units and continue the row of Billys with the new ones? Or are they going somewhere else?

    Have you tried @thewanderer's photo archive? It might have some. https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/41-photographic-website-updates/page/90/#comment-241052
  24. Flying Snail
    It looks very nice on the rails Darius - the prototype was well before I developed an interest in railways, but I have to say its growing on me. I wonder when will we see an IRM model?
  25. Flying Snail
    Very elegant solution
