Thanks very much for that, Appreciate it.

Hi lads, looking for a bit of helpful advice. Only day I can get to the show is Sunday, so with the marathon on and me coming up from Kerry by car, I was thinking the M50 to airport junction head towards the city turn left onto Griffith avenue to the show, would this be the way to do it, I know traffic could be chaotic, any help at all would be appreciated, thanks and looking forward to the show.

Congratulations lads, well deserved.

All of the above comments, as I'm totally lost for words, that is just something else Jason, brilliant.

Enjoy Jason, I'm blown away by the hunslets myself, best yet from the lads, in my biased opinion .

Brilliant as always Noel, great sounds and atmosphere.

Brilliant work Darius, I've really taken a shine to these wagons they do look the part.

Ballast wagons are class looking Darius, can I ask did you scratchbuild these yourself or are they a kit, really do look the part.

Superb, the sound really makes all the difference, great layout.

Really enjoy following the progress of your layout, I'd say those cranes were fiddly alright, but you nailed them, class looking.

Could be wrong, but maybe something to do with the currency rate of exchange, last week it was 87p to the euro today, 86p to the euro.

Thanks Stephen for the clarification, panic set in when I took the roof of my sound version and it looked the same as my non sound version and I thought were am I going to fit another speaker in there . The sound is imo the best yet as well as the loco. Now to get ordering a sound chip.

Stunning night time action, it all looks great.

What a really lovely thing for you to have done, it looks so much better. Respect.

So now I'm confused, is it this, The small speaker is fitted on all models. The sound version also has the accurathrash large speaker fitted which you can also add after the fact. OR is it this. For the first time in an Accurascale or IRM locomotive, the Hunslet makes use of an ESU-designed speaker. We've used this speaker due to space restrictions and this twin speaker is included in all DC/DCC ready locomotives, as well as DCC sound fitted variants. So, if you want to upgrade to sound later, you just pop the roof off, plug in your sound decoder and off you go I'm looking to upgrade to sound as well, maybe someone can clarify what is needed. Sorry for the state of this reply , don't know how to turn bold writing off, this is what your dealing with lads,

Excellent looking layout, plenty going on, really impressed with your TMD, looking forward to seeing more photos.

Brake van and fert are both fantastically well weathered, great work.

Could sit all day and watch this layout, especially with the fantastic Hunslets. Brilliant.

All of the above, with a Dutch van thrown in as a surprise.

Superb,as always Noel, the Hunslet looks right at home, also the lighting on the park royals is really subtle, both great additions to a great layout.

Would be a lovely set to have if some RTR manufacturer (who do make fantastic Irish Railway Models) made them, just saying.

Fantastic photos, they really do the hunslets justice, what a stunning loco each livery is as good as the next, also not forgetting the excellent spoil wagons, the layout is something else.

G'wan show us we can take it, (reaching for tissues). Were will I meet you, I have the balaclacas bought them online, only problem is there transparent, no worries.

That's a pity, the push-pull dvt does really look the part, also allows for a shorter length train with the 121 . Thanks for the info lads.

Received my maroon revised arc dcc sound today, haven't been able to check the sound yet, but the loco is just stunning in my opinion, Maroon livery really looks the part, can't wait for my three blue one's now, I'm certainty glad I got them, just brilliant, brings back great memories, thanks for these.
