It sounds like a line from a carry on film. Sid James, Bernard Bresslaw, Babs Windsor et all.

Looking good Darius it has obviously taken lots of hard work to get to the level it is at now.

There was a member of the Scalefour society in the members forum building an MTK class 59 a few years ago. Hasn't been updated since but I was really interested in seeing how it turned out.

Especially as it's MTK....
Anyone who remembers MTK will likely remember the man behind it: Colin Massingham.
Colin's been dead for years. It was often said that he allegedly never consulted an engineering drawing when preparing a new model for production, but just looked at a few photographs and guesstimated from there. If you were (un)lucky enough to encounter one of his early Steamcast kits for BR Standard engines, you'll know what I mean.
In later years, Colin himself alluded to his idiosyncratic planning methods by releasing O-gauge kits under the brand name "Elcrappo".
I believe he used to say or have printed on the box hammer or nails not included.

MJT Carriage Compensation Units can be assembled for EM P4 and 21mm. Brassmaster make nice units also.

This is just blatant teasing at this stage. Have you no shame, and yes amazing.

The coaches all have full pickups (and on board stayalive) for interior lighting (and head lighting on the DTs) so the axles are insulated.
They look amazing can't wait for the Vic Berry's.in IE livery.

Incredible detail on the rivets...
Speaking of, how many rivets are there?
Don't know yet Dave but I'm going to put the kettle on and get counting, what a hobby and relaxing way to spend the evening

It's been a while since we have seen some pics and video scenes Eamonn but worth the wait and looks really authentic
How are you enjoying being an exhibitor.

I wasn't neither Jason but they have become the face of IE's most numerous passanger trains. I have grown to like them and ordered a few sets. Cave in and order some don't resist the temptation.

Hello IRM…..is their anyone out there….
Just nod if you can hear me.
If the junction was exhibited it would really draw the crowds as the action taking place is what a large percentage of visitors would want to look at
Super stuff as usual Noel.

Mine was delivered yesterday and it is a smashing model. The packaging for those that like that sort of thing is cool too.

A great choice for IRM and modellers of the era they were introduced.

Has played a huge role in the story of railway modelling in Ireland. It's fair to say that we wouldn't be where we are now if not for the Lima 201.

Good advise Jason although I think Dave should drop a few disco biscuits instead incase he didn't wake up.

Hi everyone,
Just to point out, there is a wee typo on the box of the Galway Hotel Shuttle bus. On the box it says "Cork Shuttle". This is incorrect, the bus inside is in Galway condition.
Apologies for this, and totally my fault.
Cheers!
Fran
We won't hold it against you Fran. You might get detention though. Glad I ordered mine. They look so nice

It is!?
Yes it is. The standard of the models look so good as do the buildings and scenics. Takes a lot of time and skill.
If the eyesight was up to working in the wee gauge I could be persuaded to have a go. Especially at a layout like Ashburton Grove. Doing something like Copenhagen Fields is what would make me forget it.

This one sounds like a Frankie Howard monologue.
