  1. Folks it is definitely worth it to zoom in on all of Paul’s photographs, there is an incredible wealth of detail and little cameo scenes to appreciate eg the disconnected siding with a van with an open door, the river, the superb trackwork and much more. Well done that chap!
  2. Wow very impressive Paul!! Where have you been hiding this!! Delighted you have posted - plenty of interest and action there, looking forward to seeing more!! Maybe some videos too? Great work.
  3. The recent arrival from New Zealand of the JM Design 20 ton CIÉ brake van inspired me to put together a new video for my YouTube channel, looking at the changes in CIÉ freight working from the 1950s into the 1960s - many thanks to John @Mayner for this cracking model! The Hatton’s Genesis coaches make a brief appearance too!
  4. Magnificent!! That woodwork is exceptional!!!
  5. They looked fantastic at the show!!!
  6. Very much so Eamonn!!! Great to see you yesterday and to see your lovely layout again.
  7. Fantastic show - well done to everybody who made it possible, there was obviously a mammoth amount of work ongoing for many months - this is deeply appreciated. Excellent venue, a great variety of layouts, including many I hadn’t seen before, and great to meet up with so many great folks along the way. Great job everyone!
  8. Love the Genesis coaches but they are noticeably smaller compared to more specific Irish stock, as can be seen in @Jarl’s bottom photo above. Mixing them with other vehicles might not look right……
  9. Pilate working in operation.
  10. Bells & whistles (ha) DCC sound fitted 'Falcon' ordered - thank you IRM!!!
  11. Then they should have a Holy See class......... Sorry that was rrrrreally bad......
  12. Yesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!
  13. The suspension is killing us
  14. Am sure they are making the necessary steps....... "Taxi....."
  15. Good to see the updates. Hope you're enjoying the build!
  16. Disagree - IRM have time and time again demonstrated their respect for their customer base so this comment is way off mark.
  17. Wee buns.
  18. Am sure IRM could handle all such nuances!
  19. Blue would be good! 171 might be more popular though from the historical angle, the V class were restricted to the GN mainline whereas the S had wider route availability as well as a wider range of liveries: GN green, GN black & GN blue as well as UTA lined black. The V class had only two liveries (open to correction!): black with original boiler and then the classic blue with belpaire boiler. Am sure they would have looked fab in the UTA lined black but I don’t think any of them carried that livery?
  20. 3 days until the IRM announcement….. Steam or non-steam….what are we all thinking? My predictions (which have never been remotely accurate): C class if diesel S class or Jeep if steam Just hoping I have fingernails left by the weekend…… Also, I have really missed the countdown widget on the IRM website!
