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.

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.

Does anyone actually use twitter?

Thanks Dave, I currently have 7 Hornby and 8 Lima 50's. Will have to kindly ask Fran if he will send me an accurascale sample or do you have to be one of those youtubers with mega likes and viewers lol...

My current collection of 50's mix of Hornby and Lima. Would be nice to have an accurascale/IRM model one day.

What was the fee for the VAT/Customs handling charge if you don't mind me asking? Anpost I think charge €3.50.

W&H models, that's going back a bit! Went to the shop in New Cavendish street a few times in the late 1980's before they closed down. was a great shop for central London.

What about the FEA freightliner flats?

Could join forces with Westminster and there would be enough power for years to come.
