    I'd be in the same position - no layout, but buy locos as they are released, instead of looking for them when they are all sold out & having to pay a small fortune for them!

    For sale - just in case anyone here missed the first run of Paddy's most excellent Baby GMs, I'd like to give members here the chance to grab any they missed / were searching for

    I've a couple of 071 I have double of, along with several Baby GMs that I should let go of - put towards the new batch of MM 141/181

    Just plays with a black screen for me - I can hear sound though

    Like Tik Tok so - full of shite for the illiterate, pre-teens with ADHD

    Tik Tok... oh dear

    I thought that was just for visitors to Cark!

    At least it still exists, and wasn't 'recycled' into razorblades back in the day!

    Possibly the Brennan Monorail system?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUYzuAJeg3M a pretty crazy idea, which I only discovered for the first time over Christmas

    Ah, thanks Leslie - I've fired off a mail now to get access, as I am a member of the IRRS. In the mail, I have also mentioned that the IRRS are free to use any of the pics I have from previous ITG tours - same to folk on here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/renniks75/albums/

    One of the ITG tours "The Blue Thunderer" I took pics of, on my Flickr page: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjCreAVE There are albums with other ITG tours there as well

    Even after resetting my Flickr password, I am getting a 403 error - no permission to view the page. Hey ho...

    Xmas - the 'holiday' formally known as Twittermas

    Some info on it here: https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/08/polish_trains_geofenced_allegation/

    Still looks way more legit than the Lima repaint of the Class 25 with its three window panes!

    Take pictures instead of videos would be a good start

    For fans of narrow gauge rail, here's some vids of action on a sugar cane railway in East Java: https://youtu.be/xUpEd3SINB4?si=HiwCDphq_kyNnjfl https://youtu.be/ixaEYunKOtE?si=I-B6Fpr2ML28UjIW

    Nothing worse than a splinter/sliver when it gets deep into the skin - also shows the importance of eye protection when using those wire wheels

    Turf is a rubbish fuel - terribly low efficiency compared to coal. Bullied gave it a go, but even with the turf soaked in oil, it still wasn't great

    At the same time, there's a guy in Germany selling stuff at fairly reasonable prices, plus postage is low and there is no chance of getting hit with the 'Brexit bonus' either! https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?item=364564898642&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l2562&_ssn=magr216967

    One of the ITG tours (possibly the Suir Thing, 9th Oct 2004)- I was on that one. I think tour loco 085 was swapped out there for 152 + 190 off the cement

    Were the VDL the ones that had some chassis issue, which led to them being stored in Inchicore for a while?
  25. skinner75
    Link for the bus model didn't work for me either, and I can't find it listed on the site anywhere. The VDL wouldn't be my bag though - just happy to find the Atlantean book, with part two due next year too
