    That is just over 10 years ago, how time has flown. The Beet wagons made a distinctive noise, you would hear them before you would see them in some instances. How much things have changed is shocking. Lot's of track lifted, Beet trains ended, no more MK111's, 141's 181's 121's, or Orange 071's. God I loved those Beet wagons. Rich,

    134 and 144 on a Guinness train. Another scene that we can prototypically model when the 121's are released. It's shaping up to being a good year. Rich,

    The restaurant looks fantastic. So much better with the correct window arrangement and roof details. Rich,

    It's OK I'm perfectly relaxed, nice of you to think of me. Rich,

    124 and 162 Rich,

    Even though my main interest is in the IE era I have to say that I love the IR livery in that photo. I have 143 in the IR livery as I couldn't resist it when it was released. I might purchase a 121 in the same livery. Rich,

    Found the pic of 184 and 135. Rich,

    Excellent work Bren. A nice change from the railway modelling. Rich,

    Excellent work Jason. You are setting new standards here. Rich,

    It's not even funny anymore. Rich,

    Wasn't the DVT to match the body and curve of the coaches while the cab was to match the cab front of a 201 class. The front windows, grab handles, position of lights, cutouts below the marker lights all capture the front of a 201 to me. The cabside windows even match a 201. It is a fine looking train and the new livery is growing on me. Rich,

    Dive I never said or thought you were disagreeing about anything. I thought a pic of the train would contribute to the thread as it is an interesting topic. With the standard of these fantastic models we should be running them as prototypical as we can in as many of the formations they ran in. This year some of us will be able to do that. Rich,

    Yes a cable was connected between both locos. A pair of 141's connected A pair of 121's connected The same would relate to a 141-181 + 121. Rich,

    Dive I do have a clear memory of seeing a pic of 184 and 135 leaving Connolly with a MK11 Aircon set and 184 was the leading loco. I think it was very early 90's. If anyone else has any info or a pic relating to it I would be delighed to see it. Rich,

    Looking at these pics I would say that it arrived from Waterford with 134 leading. It came off the Waterford line and pushed the train into the junction where the locos were uncoupled, ran around and re coupled at the Mallow end with 144 becoming the lead loco. Rich,

    I remember the first time I had to change one Richie, mental note apologize to me parents. The old man called the contents TNT. I'm glad they are grown up now. Rich,

    Getting back on topic I am really looking forward to pairing a 121 with a baby. They were an everyday sight when paired together on Beets in the Beet season, and Cements out of Waterford. 124 and 146 hauling IRM Cements, I can't wait. Rich,

    I'll get a pain in the proverbials if this descends into another discussion about shades of orange... Sorry Pat couldn't resist it. Rich,
  19. RedRich
    Interesting how different the shades of orange are on the MK3's. Rich,
  20. RedRich
    That's a MK3. Rich,

    Excellent, I happened to look away for a few moments while he was blowing up the balloon and thought it was Lord Vader when I heard it. Rich,

    I think that is a great idea having it available in 00, EM, and P4. I believe that the P4 wheels are even finer than Ultrascales. Plus no six month wait. Rich,

    Fran I listened to a sound model on youtube through a good set of headphones and it sounded amazing. Two speakers really make a massive difference. Rich,

    Have any of our BR modellers got their hands on one of these yet. From pics it looks a really fine model and has raised the bar in 00 rtr. Although with every new model there are some that have found discrepancies with the bodyside etched grilles. Having said that the majority seem delighted with their models. Rich,
  25. RedRich
    I agree. A classic example in a diesel model are the Fia trains brass built LMS twins. They knock the socks off the Dapol and Bachmann versions. The price might seem excessive to many but the quality wins through every time. Rich,
