Tarabuses

It seems customs will be hanging on to them until Tuesday evening. I don't blame them, I wouldn't be too happy to part with them either

The seller has chosen an interesting location to photograph this model: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-Ireland-Railways-Airfix-Coach-Mk2-Translink-Irish-Murphy-models-/121081191459?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item1c31005c23

Is there any chance of more orders to allow this project to go ahead?

They are something to be admired.

I'll certainly take some.

So much for my planned inaugural run on St. Patrick's Day.

I can't wait for a "real" 071.

I see Michael is setting off across La Manche from 7pm tomorrow on BBC2. Hopefully he might take a look at the trains while he is there.

Congratulations to you both.

Congratulations from me too.

I am always happy to support your ventures, David, so I will commit to an RTR version.

Maybe that is their intention so that thay never have to wash it again

Yes, I am getting that invalid attachment notice too but can see the images above.

My understanding is that the resistor must always be connected to the positive (long) leg of the LED.

Thanks for the clarification.

If it is it won't absorb any cleaning fluid.

It is always useful to look at layout plans and exhibition layouts to get an idea of what works well. You need to sketch out a few ideas and see if they fit your space. Keep the radius of curves as large as you can. Whatever you start setting up it will change as you start running trains and see the shortcomongs. It never works first time around and don't jump in with a complex design. There are some simple ideas here: http://www.bandrmodelrailways.co.uk/Design%20ideas.html

Probably not his fault but the way Ebay is set up, however he wants £20 to post to Ireland but only £12 to the UK! He even offers free collection for UK but not for Ireland

Yes, I'm afraid cover dates on some magazines have moved into the area of fantasy.

There have been several Bachmann Mk2As on ebay recently and they all reached good prices compared to the original selling price. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Murphy-Models-Bachmann-4110-Mark-2A-TSO-Open-Second-Coach-IE-Intercity-X-Two-/261170777802?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3ccefdceca

Yes, it is prone to tilting and losing its contents - from experience.

Yes, but not very pleaseant. A bit utilitarian to be honest.

No going back now?

Not to worry, Brian, I ubderstand that you are constrained by Corgi's requirements. It would not be too difficult to change the model's identity after I buy it.

Where have they been hidding them?
