Loved that show, it was like Monty Python for kids!

That wasn't lost on me!

Yeah but neither company is bringing any production back to the US. Hasbro production in China stands at 50% and they stated they will reduced that to 40% by 2026, hardly earth-shattering. Mattel are talking about moving some production to other countries again, not the US. They also said they would counter the tariffs by raising prices in the US. So whatever the Mango Mussolini is telling people, his tariffs are not going to have the effect he claimed they would.

The reason they are building warships and nuclear missiles is because other countries keep improving theirs. It's not rocket science.

Couldn't resist. I missed out on the first run so ordered the BR Blue 31418.

Good to know Boskonay, thanks.

My details are correct but none of my preorders are there.

Looks really good! By the way, bristles from a brush make really good reeds and long grass.

Awesome! Can't wait to run these in a mixed rake with some Cravens!

Pulled the trigger and preordered a Falcon (my needs are small!) Sadly I can't get over to the show this year, but kudos to IRM for producing this loco. Can't wait!

Wow! Can't wait! I recently got myself a spare Bachmann class 20 chassis and was about to pull the trigger on a Silver Fox resin kit so this couldn't come at a better time. Only problem is which one to order...

Well done IRM for being open and transparent with their customers and also for making the effort to still deliver on as much as they possibly can.

They've been around for a while... https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wexford/enniscorthy-news/bobby-of-the-family-sludds-may-be-jailed/27250040.html

Very sad to hear we have lost another member of our community. Thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
