  1. Many of us will envy your dedicated building, it looks very sturdy! Looking forward to seeing the new layout develop, to my shame I had missed this thread until now but I've looked back and the plan was an impressive one with plenty of operating potential, you'll be well placed now to develop further ideas. Any chance of seeing inside the new building? Best of luck!
  2. Interesting discussion folks - I am in awe of your knowledge!
  3. Mighty stuff Leslie!! Great to see the progress.
  4. Did anyone click on the link in the OP? Perhaps the poster is genuine but it seemed a bit pushy and suspicious to me, happy to be wrong!
  5. One of the things I like best about this thread is how one never knows what is coming next!! Fab stuff!!
  6. Yip Colm made a fine job of that vehicle.
  7. That view along the Barnesmore Gap is stunning - one can but dream.
  8. Despite my constant hints imploring IRM to produce a steam loco, the 800s are not quite in my area of interest although I am certainly following this thread with enthusiasm. It was very encouraging to hear that early sales have been so good, it would be interesting to see an updated diagram of how sales are progressing, like IRM did for the A class - that was very skilled promotion I thought!
  9. Am finding myself constantly returning to this thread at the moment, such a great project David, and exceptional modelling as usual! Great to see a Swilly loco being modelled, not too many have ventured into the far north west of Ireland for their projects although Alan Gee's 'Burtonport' is a notable exception. Very informative blog post here from Roger Farnworth, who always produces very readable material: https://rogerfarnworth.com/2023/04/28/the-burtonport-extension-of-the-londonderry-lough-swilly-railway-part-1/
  10. Your trackwork always looks superb to me David - the weathering is masterful!
  11. Also looking forward to watching this one develop!
  12. Looking forward to seeing the branch set making the full trip down to the terminus!
  13. Yes definitely does. Love the quayside too!
  14. Excellent price! Shouldn't be around for long!
  15. Thanks all - I have learnt that something which I thought was a gimmick does in reality have a worthwhile function. Yet again this forum proves its worth!
  16. Good points David - would this apply in 4mm as well?
  17. Two very random thoughts.... 1. The absence of loco crew is often commented upon in relation to modern diesel loco releases, and yes A/S do provide some of these as extras to be fitted by the user but what happens when the loco has to change direction.....could there be a mechanism devised whereby a driver is provided but hidden at each end of a typical dual-cabbed loco, then maybe with a DCC command, the relevant one can be raised? Crazy idea And.... 2. Does anyone actually make use of, or care about sprung buffers????
  18. Still very much in demand!
  19. I think that this magnificent locomotive is your finest creation yet David - it's in a league of its own. Truly exceptional.
  20. Some action from Clogherhead this evening, featuring: Murphy Models 121 class loco No. 125 IRM H vans (6) Provincial Wagons H vans (2) JM Design 20 ton brake van IRM A class loco A46 Hatton's CIÉ Genesis coaches (4) Seagulls (100s) More H Action.mp4
  21. Told ya steam was the way to go!!!! Love the history file on the AS website, great stuff!
