Nothing like a purpose built home for the layout! Construction looks great I built a block shed with my dad's help some years back, but it is dedicated to a workshop for my motorbikes. Maybe time to build another one...
-
That, and the shot where the exterior is from along the stretch around Bray head - the angle of what is passing by the window doesn't line up with the carriage! Are the carriage interior shots from a Cravens? Maybe one of the RPSI coaches was used.

Apparently this was on the Irish syllabus - long after I left school though! Seriously dark stuff I reckon. Footage of train arriving into Rathdrum (I think), and also arriving into Rathdrum at the end of the short!! Brendan Gleeson is in it "Cáca Milis" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW-tdaO2s9o

I think I remember an article in the IRRS journal in the last couple of years (could be more!) on mining in Avoca - I'll see if I can find it later
-
Got notification from Book Depository today that they have it in stock now, so order placed!
-
I just setup an email notification there on Book Depository to let me know when it is available to order

I just ordered one of the last two 'Bond' ones this morning -
The prices are really good for the sound-fitted models too - would this be something that IRM could offer for Irish locos in the future?
-
UK stuff wouldn't be my bag, but it looks like another pure quality product. Loads of livery variations, a really long time in service, as well as slight body differences, makes it a good choice of loco to go for!

460 was released previously by Murphy's Models back in 2008, as part of the first RPSI liveried set of MK2 coaches http://www.murphymodels.com/files/RPSI_MkII_Review_MR119_008-012%2C014-015.pdf

Durty electric yoke anyway - burn em all I say!
-
This was news to me! I just got the email announcing these pair of beauties, and have my pre-order in now!

The Crossley's could've done with some of this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY1YndLmbXQ

Could be worse - could be New Zealand! Oz restrictions meant to be gone by March, whereas NZ are holding on till October

Lest we forget this one!

Found similar for a lot cheaper! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254107829332?hash=item3b2a01c454:g:OjwAAOSwn4ZcVv6F (This is actually Road & Rails ebay page)

'Tay-ho' the white horse lol
-
I love the filled in turntable, and the missing flag stones in the hard standing area! Gives it a nice rundown appearance
-
I'm amazed that is the going rate - I would have expected £1 to be worth less than a Euro at this stage. Exports reportedly down 70% on pre B-word levels
-
Same here! I always thought that green & black would have made more sense than the tan/orange & black livery that came in after the old green livery on the railway proper
-
Why oh why would you dump a big lump of sodium or potassium into water?!?!? In a shaft with radioactive waste too no less!
-
Plenty of glow-juice dumped in the Irish Sea for years & years, making it the most radioactive sea in the world... https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/sellafield-s-nuclear-pollution-of-the-irish-sea-took-decades-to-achieve-1.157519
-
Oh no, no no no - that modern logo on the front of 071 looks terrible! Totally ruins the 'retro' livery
-
Very impressive looking water!
