  1. Thats a separate issue @irishmail - I'm talking about the VAT DPD charge for DPD's own Customs Brokerage Service (and I believe @Georgeconna is too). EDIT: I've edited my previous post just now to make this a little clearer. Apologies for any confusion
  2. Great work going on out there - how far from the station are you hoping to get the line to?
  3. Have you contacted DPD for an explanation of the €1.15 VAT on their custom's brokerage service? Coincidently I had a parcel from Hattons delivered by DPD last week. I was charged the same €1.15 VAT by DPD for DPD's own customs brokerage service - I've just raised a query on the VAT for the customs brokerage service this morning, so we'll see. It's not much, but every little helps as Tesco says
  4. I have one of those at home too, but she's grand once you buy her flowers and take her to dinner every so often
  5. Lots of detail there Tony - really has the Shorty Train vibe!
  6. Humbug, everybody knows you deck the Halls, not the Manors!
  7. Due to space constraints at home, I find modular railway concepts very interesting - I'll be following along this build with interest. Given how fast you produce rolling stock, I expect that you'll probably have this done by the end of the weekend????
  8. The more the merrier! I do think it would kick interest in the pre-CIE eras up a gear. Exciting times
  9. Perhaps. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to find out
  10. Agree that its going to be a preserved loco - I reckon it's likely to be a Jeep.
  11. Thanks for clarifying that @GSWR 90, and I wish all involved in the railway the very best as you work through this. Obviously you'll need more than best wishes and I see there's a link for donations on the railway's website. I've made a small donation and others on here may wish to do so too: https://www.downrail.co.uk/donatemenu/general/
  12. Thanks for updating us. It sounds like there's a lot of work to be done to get over the floods, but am I right that so far most damage appears recoverable (eventually)?
  13. I love your ability to capture the descent into dereliction and retain a sense of the beauty the building would have had in its heyday. Excellent, really excellent.
  14. Very sorry to hear this and hope that nothing has been damaged beyond repair
  15. Just spotted the inside valve gear which will really set off the look. There really is a lot going on here - as Dempsey says: craftsmanship
  16. I know what you're at .... trying to transform them bit by bit into Midland 6 wheelers!
  17. I would pay good money to see the reaction to a techno club on an Irish railtour
  18. Two very nice models indeed @GSWR 90 - unfortunately your photo of them posing with 90's Westrail plaque has only served to remind me that this weekend I missed out on the chance to take a peek at the (in)famous image on the back of it that you hinted at earlier in this thread I did get the chance to pick up a 90 badge and a few other bits from the Downpatrick stand though, so its all good
  19. Looks good, but I hope you've little or no sense of taste too if you're planning on using that toothbrush yourself before bed
  20. I got mine from the man himself yesterday - one of each. The look very well indeed, very pleased!
  21. Looking forward to these and I think they won't be limited to OO scale either. I think we'll be seeing the Bulleid - Open Wagons in as IRM's first O scale wagon too before long. After all, with the Accurascale O Scale Rustons announced, it's logical to think an IRM O Scale Ruston can't be far behind either ... and it'll need something to shunt won't it?
  22. Hard to beet that announcement! Accurascale have the 'Powering Britain' series of wagons ... will IRM continue the 'Feeding Ireland' range? What with the beets (and the kegs and Lyons tea containers) now done - Butter vans next?
