  1. Fully agree with you Fishplate. I have got quite a lot of stuff from Tom and I have been very pleased with them. We are blessed that we now have such a variety of quality Irish models.
  2. Fantastic news, a long last . Now I wonder what livery 134 will be in ?

    Tara's

    Totally unexpected knock at the door and I was handed a package. Fantastic. The Taras look amazing. Well done IRM.
  4. Barl, at the rate IRM are producing stuff, I would just forget about the wedding altogether.
  5. Santa popped by this morning and left me 12 bubble wagons. Absolute stunning models. Christmas has arrived in South Dublin on November 17th.
  6. I hope the timber wagons are okay !
  7. Another way of finding them is using street views on Google Earth. It is a torturous way of doing it and will require a lot of patience but you will get there.
  8. My ballast wagons arrived this morning. One word - AMAZING. Well done to Irish Railway Models.
  9. Just when Irish Railway Modelling is booming, we hear of one of our main suppliers closing. A sad Christmas. Thanks for everything Seamus.
  10. A lovely line and I have great memories of that final trip in July 1982 when we travelled to Ballinacourty behind 041. On that day I got my first footplate between Kilmeaden and Carroll's Cross.
  11. Bleach Green is an amazing layout. Would be great to see it at the October show some time.
  12. I fully agree with you Skinner. I really look forward to running one with a 141 , with the 141 leading of course.
  13. England now clear favourites, it is now out of '' Joe's Leinster's '' control. England will know exactly what the need when they kick off next Saturday. Warren Gatland once more the thorn in our side.
  14. That is good to hear Wrenneire after some of the negative vibes we have been hearing over the past week. 088 is waiting to hook up when they arrive next week.
  15. Fully agree with all you have said Noel. I have let all the previous superb Mark 2d liveries go by me as my preference is the original supertrain livery. We all have our preferences and thankfully we have all had the choice to get what we all want. Like all the locos and coaches that has gone before, a huge well done to Paddy Murphy. How times have changed since my Lima class 33 and Mark 2s in the '70s.
  16. Who would have thought that we would be able to pick and choose what livery Mark 2s we would want. I have been waiting for the original Super Train Mark 2s so hopefully the wait is nearly over. How times have changed since I got my Lima Mark 2 set with the class 33 in the 70s !
  17. Thanks. Hopefully I will catch up with it somewhere .
  18. Thanks Snapper, Any idea of the time the ECS leave Wexford ?
  19. What is the latest for Monday - ECS back to Dublin and on to Waterford or Rosslare Strand to Waterford ?
  20. Richie, I have tried emailing you a couple times - I have not yet received those headboards. I hope there is not a problem. Alan
  21. Superb picture taken in those great days when we had so many real trains.
  22. There are plenty of recent pics ( and probably videos ) of the Mark 3s having a bit ' of work' done on them. I cannot help you thankfully as I only have photos of them doing what they were meant to do - Carry Passengers !

    087

    ah 087. My first trip on the Executive was behind 087 and a few months later it hauled a Beet around Bray Head - Great times !
  24. Would everyone just relax. Our railway system is now so boring any change is welcome. When a new paint scheme is chosen everyone is up in arms. The 71s got hammered when the Freight livery appeared, the 71s got hammered when the slate grey livery appeared. They are still the 71s. I think the 29s are the most horrendous things to ever run on our railways next to the Dutch vans and the NIR Castles ( my opinion ) but we are stuck with them and have to accept them so a bit of paint will have us all going out to photo them. Forget the past.
