A somewhat belated Happy New Year to everyone.

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas to you all and best wishes for 2019.

The two have been released without charge.  The search continues.

Speculation is that they wanted to close the airport as a protest against too many flights.

Have you changed the numbers for the IR Dayglo locos?  I have them listed as 051 and 024.

That engine looks like Tri-ang Hornby model R753 which is available second hand from Hattons and on ebay.

Well, it was hard enough to follow three layouts being constructed each episode but now there will be five.

I have been disappointed by it to be honest.  Very little modelling has been shown, unless you want to incorporate silly items on your layout.  The cameras seem to prefer to focus on derailments rather than the detail of models.

Having seen episode 4 I might have to eat some of my words.  I think all three challengers were better than the previous heat winners.  A pity they had to meet each other at this stage.  The only mishap was a wayward lorry but there were plenty of trains running and some good scenic work on show. 

Yes, Derek's latest Atlantean release is a very nice model.  It is nice to see all the Poot's kits displayed in your depot.

I have to agree with Noel that all we are looking for is some communication with customers about a model that has been announced.  No criticism of MM is inferred nor any underestimation of the considerable work involved in bringing the 121 project to fruition.  A simple "the model has been delayed" would suffice if it was accompanied by a statement that the project was still progressing.

The new mobile phone's my kids were looking for christmas has just been downgraded to a pack of marbles each. These look way too nice!!

Quite right.  They probably have phones already but you don't have any container flats .

Yes, that E class looks very good even before being built.  Jim should be at the Raheny show this weekend.

It is photos like those that make me wish I had a time machine just to visit railway scenes that will never be seen again.

My understanding is that R758 was the original British Railways model of the Hymek while R768 was used for the Irish "variant".

Voted number one.

That looks very good as a first engineering sample and the colour is a novelty.  

Why, what was in the box?

Yes, replacement 141 handrails would do me too and a couple of horns.

You want Jim Poots (jimpoots@googlemail.com)

Very sorry to hear this news.  

That was nice to see.  A lot of effort was involved in creating the scene.

It seems that work is beginning at the Casino cottage.

Yes, containers on their own would be very useful.
