    Does this help? Stephen

    These don’t appear to have been very common in Ireland. What British model would be best to use? Stephen

    Lovely stuff, George. Stephen

    Let’s hope 2021 is better than 2020. Can it be any worse? Let’s hope not. We now have a COVID-19 vaccine and a UK/EU ‘comprehensive’ trade deal. I’m sure one will work but not so sure about the other. Anyway, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Stephen

    I got my pair this morning Royal Mail 24 hour guaranteed delivery. At this time of year that is remarkable. Stephen

    I got my notification from Hattons today as well. Stephen

    Is anyone else on the eastern side of the Irish Sea having trouble laying their hands on the latest 121’s. Just spoken to Hattons and there seems to be a delay in getting them out of Dublin. It wouldn’t have anything to do with the time of year, Christmas no Brexit, would it? Stephen

    To return to this topic, this has probably got a lot to do with Brexit. A direct service between northern France and Rosslare is on the cards, cutting out the trek through UK. The additional journey time is preferable to the additional paperwork from 1st January 2021. Stephen

    How right you are about Fintona. An almost perfect layout for those short of space. Stephen

    I’ve got a couple of the SF Sulzers. They are heavy and run very well. Stephen

    It looks just the part. Sorry to hear about the foot. Hope things improve with time. Stephen

    My particular favourites are Bundoran and Fintona. Many thanks. Stephen

    I think you’ll find that they’ve sold out what they pre-ordered, not sold out altogether. I’ve always found Hattons very good to deal with, no complaints. Stephen I think you’ll find the real rip off merchants are those asking astronomical prices on eBay. But, again like retailers, you don’t have to use them. Stephen

    Well, it’s arriving into Dundalk, so maybe it’s to run round before heading home. Stephen

    I am extremely envious of those who have already received their CIE black and tan 121’s. They seem to be taking a long time to reach the eastern seaboard of the Irish Sea. Any idea why? Stephen
  16. StevieB
    Absolutely stunning. Stephen

    According to Hatton, 132 is in CIE Supertrain livery. Stephen

    It seems like CIE employed the same tactics as BR when it came to closing railway lines, make them appear to be uneconomic. Stephen

    Locos and rolling stock getting dirty is an everyday fact of life but there was a stage when cleaning seemed to be a no-no. Did the 121’s get that dirty when first introduced? Stephen

    Tom took his website down after it got hacked and then used the shop on his Facebook page to do his selling. Stephen
  21. StevieB
    You’ll need to email Tom to see what he is doing at present. Effectively his shop is empty and he only sells on eBay what he produces. I think, though, he is open to the right approach if you’re prepared to wait. Stephen

    When Gort is finished, I look forward to Noel’s short videos of trains running on it. It is just the right size to demonstrate to the younger ones how our railways used to operate, all the whys and wherefores of the shunting that used to take place. Stephen

    Is my purchase of some old IRRS journals still on? Stephen
  24. StevieB
    Thanks for those two photos. Let’s hope both the train service and usage justify the investment in the new station. It’s an interesting re-use of the old train shed. Stephen

    During the first national lockdown over here in the UK Peco shut down their production line for some period of time, although the likes of Railway Modeller was produced. Different kind of production line I guess. Strange that you could buy their products online but they weren’t actually making them. Stephen
