Nor me - it has the look of Super-8, so it could well be silent..
Oh yes, silent movies, I think I remember them
-
The sound didn't work for me but some interesting clips and close ups.
Why is the Irish for depot Aras? Does our President live in a depot?
-
I think it's an improvement - though, they might think about having the doors in a contrasting colour.
Yes, that livery variation looks different!
-
Ed what has the French or Germans got to do with the MAINLAND UK?
I hope to see you at the Carrickfergus show the week-end.
Deutsche Bahn did buy the UK Arriva bus group so I presume they would be interested in rail franchises too.

Whataya know! An iPlayer link that works outside of the UK! Cheers Kirley. Richie.
Edit - A fabulous programme worth recording. Love the Brookeborough story about the level crossing.
I don't think they are too worried about radio programmes being listened to abroad.

Interesting points about 208 and 209, but another factor is the relatively short time they ran in NIR livery before they were repainted into Enterprise, limiting their scope. Always thought they looked good in blue though. There is also the relative lack of rolling stock for them to run with without having to resort to finding the Lima NIR Mark IIs or repainting.
The 111s on the other hand have been around much longer in NIR livery (of various guises) so maybe there will be scope for these being released later on. I would like one in late 80s/early-mid 90s guise to run alongside IR stock. Just need to get some coaches to go with it!
No original Enterprise 201 is the puzzler for me, been around a long time, seen all over the country on all sorts of stock. Would pick one of them up.
Yes, the original Enterprise livery on a 201 is a model that I have on my wish list.

You couldn't have made a better first posting.

I presume they are taking an educated guess and if they get it wrong they will have to sell the pre-orders at a loss
I doubt it would be a loss, just a reduced profit.

Good to see you getting in quick bud in case they change the price. £125 seems a great price for that loco
It is if you are paying in sterling and can avail of the £4 postage.

Fantastic history lesson Dave, very well done, keep the info coming, wonder if you know anything about the Model Railway shop that was in Phibsboro many years ago,
Paul
That's the shop that was on Monk Place. It was always worth a visit and opened on Sunday mornings, which was useful.
-
I was wondering the same myself.
The Guy that was involved with the bus said on the old site
that there was a problem with a window and would be back
for sale soon,but that was ages ago?.
Nigel has given an update on Garaiste. He has been busy working over the summer and is waiting for a suitable material to use for the schoolbuses and other projects. He hopes to announce something at the October show.

August 2001 makes the lima 201 11 years old and i remember the excitement when it first appeared.It may be old hat to some modellers but it was the first real serious RTR modern Irish loco in my book and considering the money they have changed hands for in the past it speaks volumes about the demand that had existed before the new model was turned out.
Yes, you are quite right. I couldn't believe it when I saw the first photos of the model as it wasn't just a repaint of a British loco.
-
A really good model of a great locomotive. How do I get one built?
-
I bought mine in Marks last Tuesday although they seemed at bit hesitent when I said I wasn't a member of the club.
-
Amen to all that -maybe this thread has run its course?
It seems a good place to end with everyone finally in agreement.
-
I've moved the retailers and pricing conversation to a seperate thread as it had dragged this one completely off topic.

Well done, now we can look forward to the next releases of the 201.

I was interested by his questions about two Aer Lingus planes at the end of his 1976 visit.
BAC1-11 EI ANG was sold to Nigeria and written off after over running the runway in 1992
Boeing 707 EI ANO was sold to Libya and scrapped in Cairo in 2006.

Tony would a top four finish be regarded as a success for Liverpool fans next season, and build on it from there.
Rich,
Top four finish would be a great achievement in his first season but, as Spurs found out, it doesn't guarantee Champions League.

Promotional video on this link:

I would think he was chosen on his record at Swansea but time will tell (and very quickly looking at the start of season fixtures
) -
Dave here is a good little starter kit always try and get a compressor with an air tank
Check out this link Dave:-bd
Dave my airbrushes are something like those in the link above but my compressor is a sealey 50lts as I am airbrushing all day everyday and I need the bigger air tank. You only have to look at my workbench to see what can be done with these airbrushes when working on model trains.
That set looks to be very good value.
-
I can't disagree with anything you say and look forward to a Spain v Germany final.
-
That looks interesting. It would be usefult to see it in operation.
Cheers Kirley. Richie.
Hillsborough 96
in Letting off Steam
Posted
Some appaling revelations by the panel set up to investigate the Disaster. David Cameron has just appologised to the families of the victims in the UK Parliament. The entire cover up and the false accusations have been laid bare for everyone to see.
The tragedy has hung over everyone involved for 23 years due to the injustice of the official response. Even the inquest verdicts have now been thrown into doubt. It is not just the families and people of Liverpool who have had this cloud hanging over them but the fans too who were accused of being drunk, fighting the police and stealing from the dead. Cameron dismissed all these allegations outright today.
Justice for the 96
