If you ever want some of them weathered I'd be happy to help.

Thanks for that, will be looking to get some done in the near future .

Nailed it once again, excellent work,  I used to think I just liked my trains with that out of the box look, totally unrealistic when compared to this realistic work, love it   cheers John.

Just announce the Hunslet  at Bangor to go with the enterprise coaching stock, along with the 80 class and then the MV’s and then the final announcement of all NIR Modellers declaration of bankruptcy!

OR,   what about the Hunslet at Bangor Saturday,    a Jeep at Bangor Sunday,  and the rest,   weellll give it a week or two after that. hth. 

Really looking forward to seeing this lovely layout.

Looking forward to the show next week, any list of who is attending yet, either way always an enjoyable show.

Chat and Whisky more than enough, no chairs required, floor to crash on,  great plan coming together .

Keep up the great work

Regards John.

I'm afraid John a couple of armchairs might have to suffice, plenty coffee, chat and whiskey will pass the time and then there's only time for a short snooze

Coming along really well, Great work,  can I ask were do the bunk beds go for us all when we visit, I have first dibs .  Enjoying your progress

Ok, thanks for the speedy reply.

They look really special, another winner.

As title above suggests, for the upcoming Bangor show and following shows, do you have any plans to accept payment for new releases or items with a deposit paid, like the forthcoming new railcars, bullied wagons and laminate coaches or will it just be for what stock you have on the day.

What I'm trying to say is, at the Bangor show for instance, if I have cash on me can I purchase,  say laminate coaches that have not arrived yet. 

Richly Deserved,  Massive congrats to you all. In all fairness your models are exceptional and I'm speaking as a very happy customer,  Well Done

Have to say, I'm really enjoying watching your project take shape, it's looking  really good and look forward to your updates, weather permitting. Great work.

Very handy formation guide, one question though, what's the little carriage behind the locos and sometimes at the rear . Fantastic looking coaches lads,great work.

Dutch van soon hopefully.

I think that all ESU decoders are shipped with the default address of 3.

So, if you put one ESU decoder in the loco and one ESU decoder in the DBSO, they should both have the same address.

Thanks DJ, that actually makes sense to me and is very helpful, sometimes this decoder stuff goes right over my head.

Any decent 21 pin should do the job. I had a spare one lying about from DCC Concepts which I popped in, and it worked fine. All lighting on the driving trailer is now working independently. 

Thanks Jason, no need to change any settings so, appreciate the help, thanks .

So, would any 21 pin decoder do ?,  also will IRM be releasing a specific plug and play decoder for the driving trailer coach, for us not so familiar with dcc and changing settings.  Absolutely Stunning coaches lads brings back great memories thanks.

Creep!

Wait, are they the models or the real life coaches in the pic?

Brilliant DJ, only you would Get away with it and lads these coaches look absolutely stunning as well.

My pack the same as JasonB above arrived this morning as well, they are totally on a different level altogether, very well done gang, one pack landed five more to go.

Good call Noel on the Acrylonitrile containers,   yes please Arran.

Fantastic looking wagons,well done IRM, will have to get some of these, but Leslie I think you started the ball rolling on a lot of Irish themed wagons and are to be highly congratulated on this, the lads know what I mean by this, congrats to all.

What a brilliant looking layout, really looks the part, well done Joe.

The Best looking wagon kit yet, imo, the spoil wagon was a masterpiece Leslie, the enjoyment I got from building these kits, along with the single and double beet wagons, well let's just say they kept me grounded and in a good place, thank you.

nice one Phil, that's what it's all about, memories to cherish.

My first time at Warley. I'm surprising the young lad on Friday after school when we head to the airport instead of home. Very much looking forward to it.

So you got a purple one DJ, I'm really on the fence about this livery, but it looks so good, like yourself I try and support Accurascale  were I can, between themselves and IRM and hopefully the jeep making an appearance, the future looks good
