Thats good to know, thanks.

Are they going to be fitted with 3link/instanter couplings as shown the pics? Looking good. Now if you have a spare sample to send down to Mayo to compare with my Parkside and Airfix ones....

Kernow, Rails and TMC and I think Gaugemaster ship to Ireland with VAT deducted, so you pay the Irish VAT @ 23% and customs charges here. Alternatively, you could get items sent up North. If interested in European N gauge, as others have mentioned there are a few good shops in Germany.

I know what you mean, its more relaxed and friendly here.

Already three pages of it over on RMweb https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/topic/189184-hornby-rationalisation-of-brands-sale-of-lcd-enterprises/page/3/#comment-5666287

Most of my UK orders I get sent to Parcel Motel in Belcoo now.

Just tried a 'virtual' order, however they don't seem to deduct the UK VAT so in addition to that you will be paying an extra 23% plus the courier handling fees!

Yes, they carried coal from the coal collieries to the power stations, and were designed for automatic unloading while still moving at slow speeds in the power stations, Class 47/3's were modified with slow speed control for this and later the class 56 and 58 locos too. Originally class 50's were equipped for slow speed for control too but was never used so was removed.

Any news updates in relation to class 50, Hoovers? Seems to have been quite for a while unless I have missed any updates recently. Need to know if its worth adding to my Hornby and Lima collection. Only 35 more to collect out of 50 lol .

Snap! not sure what is going on with the RM distribution, thought they would have sorted it by now, especially since having issues sines the April 2024 copy.

Could try swapping the tension lock couplings with the Roco/Hornby type of close coupling. https://uk.hornby.com/products/pocket-coupling-pack-10-r8220

No need, Google translate,, and they speak perfect English in Holland. @DJ Dangerous Have you enough containers?
