    Yes, still waiting for my subscription copy! I have emailed them this morning about it especially as the February issue is out today.

    Did you get your item from Germany? I got an order on the way label created and parcel collected 30th Dec, Email received on 3rd Jan saying package delayed and no tracking update since them. Sounds like the same courier service??

    Hi Tony, Have you received the January 2025 Railway Modeller yet? Still awaiting mine , very annoying especially when I saw copies in a newsagent in Roscommon about two weeks ago. Will give RM/Peco a call in the New year if if not had anything by then. My current subscription runs out with the March issue so I think I will change to the digital only version. .

    Don't forget our class 50 samples, was it two you wanted.

    No need for thread locking, if you don't like it just ignore it or not look at it.

    You don't have to use code 75, obviously its more to scale but code 100 is fine especially once weathered and its more durable. At the end of the day its your choice and what you are happy with.

    @Warbonnet ,Boskonay Hope you have enough samples, so far two for the west of Ireland and two for the Canary Islands. Just for a change from the mainland UK .

    As DJ says, additional bracing , glued and screwed will give you a good solid baseboard. depending on the thickness of your baseboard tops, bracing will need to be about every 12" - 18" apart.

    @BosKonay, if you have a spare sample to send to the west of Ireland for 'review' purposes,

    Looks like it may be a problem for stuff that I/We currently get shipped 'up North'!! Wonder how it will work with the Parcel Motels? The BBC article is also not very clear about items going the other way, when sending stuff from the North to the mainland.

    I quite like the Lima coaches, the only downside is the tension lock couplings. The Mk1's would benefit with replacing the tiny round buffers for some oval ones. I have recently got a few for a good price of eBay recently. Another advantage if you can get them cheap is they are good for practicing repainting with or doing conversions.

    Customs & VAT

    irishmail replied to WRENNEIRE's topic in News

    Yes, VAT is payable, but customs/import duty is not.

    You could always repaint it if its not the livery you want.

    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.
  22. irishmail
    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.
  24. irishmail
    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.
