  1. I know you have run dolomite trains in the past but have you got enough room in your fiddle yards to add an oil and magnesite? Then you would be able to replicate all the trains that would have run on your imaginary piece of ‘Rails through the South’. Stephen
  2. You continue to inspire with your postings. It all looks lovely in your little piece of ‘Rails through the South’. Stephen
  3. When I looked recently, there were only three retailers in listed on MM’s website who were offering advanced ordering of the class 121, namely Hattons and Antics in the UK and Marks Models in Ireland. No doubt others will in the future. Stephen
  4. Well done, nice to have you back! Stephen
  5. It’s been a long time coming but it will have been worth the wait. Stephen
  6. They all work in slightly different ways but, as long as you get what you’re after, I guess it doesn’t really matter. Stephen
  7. Marks Models in Ireland, plus Hattons and Rails of Sheffield in UK. Stephen
  8. There is nothing stopping you renumbering existing models to provide extra versions. Stephen

    Roy Jackson

    Some of you may know this already but Roy Jackson died recently. He was a phenomenal EM gauge modeller, best known for layouts such as High Dyke, Dunwich and, more recently, Retford. There’s more about him on RMweb. Stephen
  10. I don’t believe Roderick Bruce is asking anymore on eBay for the remaining ones unsold, just bringing them to a wider audience. Stephen
  11. Railway preservation doesn’t seem to come easily in Ireland, so we wish them well. Stephen
  12. It’s very nice to see progress. Stephen
  13. Have you tried running anything yet? Don’t forget to post videos when you do. Stephen
  14. Wow. Stephen
  15. The threesome of NIR big GM's has been on there some little while now, so snapped up is probably putting it a bit generously. Stephen
  16. Aren’t there plans for a new station at Waterford on the Rosslare side of the existing one? Stephen
  17. The annual show put on by DEMU, Diesel and Electric Modellers United. Stephne
  18. I came across recently. Does anyone have a photo showing the other side, please? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gsr+pullman+coaches&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=sinv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjwv7CukpjiAhVQxIUKHVxoATkQ_AUoAnoECAwQAw&biw=1024&bih=666#imgrc=G6U9uJkCWjfkKM Stephen

    CMAT 2040

    Some good stuff proposed. Two points to clarify: 1) The electrification would be as per DART in terms of voltage, and 2) The light rail would be as per LUAS in terms of gauge. Stephen
  20. Coming on in leaps and bounds. Stephen
  21. Looking very impressive. Stephen
  22. Interesting. Stephen
  23. The Dean goods was very similar in that it was a simple design that worked very well. They outshone some of the very latest designs during tests undertaken by BR. Even the uptodate versions, J15a and J15b, failed to shine compared to their earlier siblings. Steohen
  24. The 3d printed ballast wagon body is a fair representation of the real thing, save for being too tall. For greater accuracy you need to take a horizontal section out of the body, at a guess something like 4mm. The same is true of the IFM magnesite wagons. I’ll have to do the same to them sometime in the future. Stephen
