  1. I've a lovely brass one at home
  2. the gift that keeps on giving!
  3. I got in touch with Derek by email & he let me know that the only one still available to preorder was the CIE Dart KC111 on route 101, which I duly placed an order for one!
  4. April 26 for preordering these? I've not preordered one from him as yet. I can't access that Facebook group/page either, so no way of preordering if that is the only way to do so
  5. O gauge not really suited to 260mm x 1100mm though is it?
  6. What about the Dapol Sentinel 4 wheel steam shunter that was released a few years back? It was released in several liveries too. Perfect as a small shunter on a small layout, as it was the same size as a wagon Old thread on it here: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/164-dapol-sentinel/
  7. That gobshite would use a Glock19 to play Russian Roulette, he is that stupid
  8. With the orange clown in charge in the USA, that debt will skyrocket, plus US bonds have to offer a greater return, as they aren't considered as a good safe bet with said orange lunatic at the helm.
  9. Some great names to choose from too: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgv80mxry1o
  10. On Kingscourt, I used to go out with a girl from there around 15 years back, and remember visiting the old station building while the tracks were still in place. I found some old square freight shipping slips in the old office, which I have somewhere up the attic
  11. https://www.discoverboynevalley.ie/plan-your-visit/things-to-do/boyne-valley-lakelands-greenway Even if the greenway hadn't replaced the track/trackbed, the rails would've all needed to be lifted & replaced, plus ballast replacement. Athlone-Mullingar would be the same
  12. The stone wall really helps blend the backscene in with the layout!
  13. Here's the Belfast Telegraph reporting on it: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/rail-buffs-shocked-as-irelands-first-us-made-locomotive-makes-surprise-appearance-in-co-down/a1551687763.html
  14. For anyone still looking for one of these, I spotted one on Adverts on a trawl though: https://www.adverts.ie/other-antiques-collectables/oxford-die-cast-irizar-bus-eireann-expressway-1-76-scale/37320312 Not bad at €34 & €6 postage
  15. It's a shame, as the baseboards looked decent. Only a couple of months ago, I was mulling over getting some from him to start a layout - glad I held off now after seeing this post!
  16. China doesn't recognise IP unfortunately
  17. Ian at the helm of the Blue Thunderer tour - about to depart Connolly
  18. A hell of a lot were destroyed by fire too down in Cork, Kells Transport Museum https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-news/gallery/haunting-photos-show-corks-abandoned-26935945 https://www.corkbeo.ie/culture/whats-on-news/gallery/abandoned-bus-graveyard-16432007
  19. I'm sure if they got a shout they would just smash the glass, and release the handbrake? Would still use up their time all the same
  20. Looks like the Orange One has done away with the below $800 thing: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c939q47xlleo
  21. Hi all, I don't know if I posted this link before, but for those who may have missed it, here are pics I took on various railtours over the years: https://www.flickr.com/photos/renniks75/albums/

  22. AI can lie too - don't think it can't
