GTA VI leaked features?

"And what think thee of yonder reunion?" "My friend, thou shalt see the land of mine f**ks, and thou shalt see that it is barren." Let's face it none of us ended up getting tickets so what was the fuss anyway.

I understand all of this. Being an adolescent in this day and age sucks, and I know because I turned 14 on Sunday. It’s hard not to be angry with how much this happens, but it’s harder not to be angry with how fucked-up it is that this is normal now, that this world has made this happen. This is due to society. But I think we can still be angry at the perpetrators. Nobody’s innocent here, the people who did it, the people who caused it and the people who are getting so angry about it, including me. We all need to step back and see this could be partially our fault. Yes we need to make it harder for this to happen, yes we need to help people from getting to a place where they do this, yes we need to fix it, to punish them to a degree, to stop this environment that creates them from forming in the first place. Be angry about it, you deserve to be. But also, sit down and think about why this happened. Think how you can help people who do this because they are lost and have no way to call out for that help. This isn’t black and white or a simple case of right or wrong. Think about this. The DCDR is a victim here, but maybe there are more victims in this situation. Note: i retract my above short angry rant, you understand I’m sick of this happening now.

People like this don’t understand putting work into anything. For all my waffle about disturbed teens and acting out etc. this is pointless and I just don’t see why you’d bother if not to just be a pain. I suppose we’re lucky it’s just broken glass and not fire like has happened recently on, IIIRC, the Bo’Ness and Kinneil. I wish I had money to donate to DCDR to help.

On the topic of accents, I’ve heard a story that sometime, maybe a few decades prior to the beginning of the plantations, a British court set up in an English-speaking pocket somewhere in Cork. After a while there were complaints to those that had sent them there. “These people speak Irish, we can’t understand them.” An interpreter was sent over, and after arriving at the court he very quickly clarified that they were not, in fact, speaking Irish, but just had a Cork accent.

Definitely. BR(S) green I believe is darker than SR green so you could use an equivalent paint to that if modelling the UTA.

Honestly SR green, especially on Hornby coaches, looks indistinguishable from CIÉ green to me. I could just look for that.

deleted wrong topic

Maybe one excluding me taking the piss over PMs lol.

Just imagine how much is going to happen next summer lads…

Looks a bit dark, is that just the camera?

I do have a Humbrol paint pen I want to use to paint green over the red of some Hornby Skaledale buildings for the layout. A bit off for carriages maybe but probably good for sun faded paint on a poorly maintained shelter. I might just look in Marks Models for the equivalent paint though as it doesn’t look awful and is on a similar base colour. Not having to prime the coach would be nice and I could say it was red before CIÉ ownership.

This lovely product was picked up at Bewdley on the Severn Valley Railway today. As per above advice I will repaint it into CIÉ green. I’ll work out where to get another one, maybe also a brake coach so the boat train looks the same going either way. What’s a good paint to use for CIÉ green, and where could I get suitable, light-green lining? Thanks.

Love the 80 class mug, best of luck with the shop to everyone involved.

Pity about shapeways alright. Maybe post a YouTube video about it linking the 3d files in the video description? Certainly a way to keep it easy to access and get it to more people.

Surely one of them will look good in green… I need some proper “old” coaches for my layout.

Was that intended for the Hatton’s coaches thread? @BosKonay @Warbonnet @Garfield just in case.

Jesus, that died on its arse. Ah well, looks set to be a great show. Looking forward to it, might see some of ye there!

This post has been deleted as the poster does not have the necessary modelling skill to interact with this thread.

Lol. I meant why not have a competition that’s not just meant for trams?

Why only trams? (And buses) Rail-based Formula 1 would be brilliant! Imagine a public transport Olympics… Bus handling, train speed tests, tram drivers dealing with heavy traffic, I could go on…

Thanks, presume the next exhibition I could realistically get the layout finished for will be the 2058 MRSI show, so look out for it then…

Thanks lads, I feel a lot better about the layout now. I've had an idea now, which might be a bad one but I'll tell ye anyway. Ardree quay is 18 inches wide and 4 foot long, made of 9mm board. If i were to get a 9mm thick, 6 foot by 4 foot board and cut it longitudally into four sections, this would provide four more modules the exact same size. Along with upgrading Ardree's current baseboard, I could quintuple the effective length (all in modules that can be stored while not in use). I of course don't plan on building the layout that far with scenery and all, but I do need an adjacent module to the current one to be able to finish it. I may as well kill four birds with one stone, and so I think i might go through with this idea. If I were to do so, this would be the arrangement. the current Ardree Quay is on the far right. Modules are in [brackets] while scenic breaks are listed in between. [Fiddle yard(cassette)]-bridge-[Shed/Yard module]-[countryside module]-[Farmyard module]-Bridge under a road accessing Ardree Ferry Terminal-[Current Ardree Quay layout]. I appreciate this might not be too clear but hopefully it gives you a good idea of where I plan to go with the layout basically up until Christmas. Past the bridge on the far left I may eventually add more modules. Ardree Town is intended to be directly beyond said bridge. I also appreciate that a 20ft long layout may seem unmanageable, but again you have to remember it is intended to be operated either with the fiddle yard directly adjacent to Ardree quay at home, or in its longer state at exhibitions. That is, if I go to any with it. Speaking of, I'd appreciate if someone told me how to get a layout to exhibition. Do I get invited? Do I contact the organisers and ask to exhibit? It's all a mystery to me and I'd appreciate some help.

Ah well. I’ll just come in 2026 instead…

Is O'Connell Street going to be there? I'd kill for a chance to see it in person.
