Should not be any issues with magazines. I have a subscription to Railway Modeller which usually turns up within two weeks of publication date. I'm also in the gauge 0 guild and have this morning received the May issue of the guild gazette with out any issue. Did you contact the publisher to see what their response was?

That was one of the benefits of Hatton's before they closed down, you could put an item in your basket and you would know instantly what the shipping cost would be.

Hi @DJ Dangerous, Thought you may like this, quick grab shot taken in Ballyhaunis this morning.

I did visit Bekonscot a couple of times, must have been in the late 1980's. Very impressive set up. The railway is gauge 1 (10mm- 1') and the buildings are I think built to 1" to 1' scale, though different scales it blends in quite effective in this set up.

Made the RTE news. https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2024/0421/1444828-steam-train-wicklow/

Well, at least you did not run it directly on the carpet like a certain person on youtube.

All locos except Athearn SD40 Southern Pacific still available. Open to reasonable offers.

And don't forget the third loco for 'Standby' purposes...

Now there's a thing. Though never appeared in that livery , I think it would sit well on one. Ok Fran or Boskonay, if you want to send a RTC 50 down to Mayo....

SD40 SP and freight cars now sold.

They do look good, but how many RTC livery coaches do I need? I already have some MK1's, a CCT van and an RTC class 24.

Athearn SD40 Southern Pacific and freight cars provisionally sold.

Just to point out, the SW1500 is plain DCC , not sound.

Yes, all stock still available at the moment.

Now Accurascale/IRM have branched out into TT:120 how about shrinking the MK2's down. https://www.accurascale.com/en-eu/products/tt120-accurascale-research-team-three-figure-pack?syclid=co7d4pch33ns739pj2n0&utm_campaign=emailmarketing_148410532025&utm_medium=email&utm_source=shopify_email

Disappointed about lack of announcement this morning. Would have at least expected a class 50 in Black & Tan livery.

Are we going to have another production run of the Irish Deltic as the original sold out on the day of the announcement?

Modellbahn Union have some listed, https://www.modellbahnunion.com/e-vendo.php?shop=modellbahn-union-en&a=news&filter=k3274g4152p6542

Most coaches can be mixed and matched, the main thing to remember is the very early MK11's (not MK2a onwards) were vacuum braked only i think?? Also MK1's were mostly vacuum braked some I think being dual braked. MK3's there are two versions, the loco hauled and the HST main difference the HST MK3s had 3 phase electrical systems and no buffers. On your layout if in doubt just apply rule 1 Some good information in these PDF books. https://archive.rcts.org.uk/product-category/coaching-stock-books/

Also, if you can, a copy of your track plan would help.

Good that the database is still going to be available. It would be great if they introduced a Trunk service like Hatton's used to have and have the various shipping options without having to worry about the customs and VAT hassle.

Another one on the |Facebook Model |Rail Buying and selling group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/ModelRailBuyingAndSelling/permalink/6684721468296028/?sale_post_id=6684721468296028 I know manufacturers and model shops don't want stock hanging around too long, but the way they do the limited production runs these days don't really help matters.
