  1. Hey guys, my local model train shop owner held these three HO scale Hornby coaches for me, (a rare find here in the United States of Freedom ). He knew nobody else would want them and for $15 a piece, sure you can't go wrong! Anyway I'm planning on attempting to re-spray them, but what do they look closest to? The era I'm sticking to is 1980's IR livery. I already have three Cravens. At the moment I'm leaning towards IR livery MIID for the coaches, but was there a MII baggage car? Any info or suggestions, pics etc. would be great. Thanks lads
  2. Hey Anto, cheers. Ye, I gotta sort that ladder out. She'll be coming off again soon, when I get a sound chip for her from Gareth @ the Belfast Model Shop. Just got finished putting down some more sidings. I'll put some pics up soon.
  3. Wonderful, thanks for posting Eamonn.
  4. As I said, it was'nt featured on the 141/181 models, but looks like it will be on the 071's. Fair play to Paddy and his constant efforts to leave no stone unturned.
  5. I notice from the 071 pre-production pics the they have included the blanking plate under the side window, presumably installed after the removal of the staff collector. A feature not present on the MM 141/181 models (post staff collector era). Small details like this lead me to believe that Paddy is building on the experience and even further improving on the quality of his previous models.
  6. Nice shot of Kildare station at 3:47
  7. Thanks for the updates on the processing wait lads, my abandonment issues were creeping in Then when I did get cleared, the mot insisted on some "quality time" ..... so I obliged Anyway great to be here at last!
  8. This was my weak attempt at getting my girlfriend to be more accepting of my model train addiction. She thought it was romantic until I started spending more time with it than with her
  9. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer for an IR 071 Class. Any estimates on when that will be available? I guess it depends on how the others sell first.
  10. Hey Anto, did you need to get planning permission for that helix?
  11. And Veissmann’s new P&T Tamper tries to tamp imaginary ballast That yoke is deadly lookin!
  12. Nice hoover. Is she a Dyson?
  13. Anthony "dirtied" 161 and 192 for me. He also "re-branded" 161 with IR logo's for me. The 40' containers are Dapol, I got those from Hattons. The 30'ers came with two 60' flat wagons that I also got from Hattons. All the decals are from Weshty.
  14. Weathered for me by Anthony. I think the picture speaks for itself...
