Perfect for testing out skills before tackling a large scale layout - looks amazing! -

Yep - bit daft if you ask me! -
Still 5 running Kriegslok WW2 locos running in Tuzla, Bosnia - 80 years service from a loco only designed to last 10 years! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH96yjd6BKU

Funny enough, I only watched a vid on youtube on this a couple of months ago! Great channel this guy has - he has a vid on the Lartigue railway too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGwjtjgiivE

It reminds me of the time when I was in college, we drove down to Spain. Coming back, we went through Andorra, and went mad on buying whiskey etc. When we were leaving, heading into France, the French police/border guards saw the Irish plate and pulled us over. Their eyes lit up when they saw the bottles of whiskey! We had to pay a 'fine' for each bottle, then, if we wanted to keep them, pay even more. As it was the end of the holiday, we had little cash, so we left the bottles with them... Kind of a foreshadowing of the Brexit customs since the UK became a 'third country'

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
