Probably use footage of a BR Class 252!

Pre-order Your Dublin Bus Northcord Hybrid With IRM
skinner75 replied to Warbonnet's topic in Bus models
Very nice! Just ordered a couple there now -
I'd say it'll be September before pubs are fully reopened - at the very earliest! (The ones that do reopen that is)
-
I check this forum almost daily, so I won't miss them. What really, really gets me is someone selling out my favorite bus of all time on a Facebook group For what it's worth, if your 'Internet' business is built on a Facebook group, you are doing something very, very wrong
-
Wonders will never cease! I'll wait and see if Marks Models, or an Irish seller stocks it - I'm not buying off Hattons
-
Is this a secret Facebook thing for ordering them, or will they be available to non-Facebook users also?
-
Kinda along the lines of the Joe Walsh album "The smoker you drink, the player you get"
-
It's one I heard years ago - but at least it isn't 'blue'!
-
Did you hear about the mouse? The faster he ran, the much

I enjoyed it I have to say. I wasn't expecting a half hour IRRS presentation on the line - if you were, then that's on you. I like the mix of history, and current things to see on the greenway. I know that 'greenway' is like a red rag to a bull with some of you, but there you are
-
It will be available on the RTE Player also, though you may need to use a vpn if it won't play because it detects you are in the UK

https://www.rte.ie/gaeilge/2021/0330/1206964-rediscovering-irelands-railway-routes-iarnrod-enda/ Six part series, first being on the Waterford to Dungarvan line. Looks like something similar to Michael Portillo's show
-
Exactly! You can stick up whatever price you want, but it doesn't mean that it's going to sell!
-
You'd want to be really really high on 'member berries to buy one of those hideous yokes I would have to be paid double that amount to even let one of those things into my house to take up space!

Also available from the horses mouth so to speak: http://markle.co.uk/

IE 071 classes possibly retiring in the next decade?
skinner75 replied to 228RiverOwenboy's topic in General Chat
In the UK, GBRF are taking Class 56 locos, gutting them, and putting in new eco engines, generators etc., to form the Class 69: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdSC-WF-eNI -
IE 071 classes possibly retiring in the next decade?
skinner75 replied to 228RiverOwenboy's topic in General Chat
With the love that Inchicore shows to the 071 fleet, I don't see why they would have to be retired. As long as nothing major fails, the rest of the 'consumable' wear parts can be replaced ad infinitum. Emissions from the engine may be an issue in the not too distant future, but nothing a re-engine program couldn't sort out if the rest of the loco is sound -
It also helps cost-wise if you don't have to spend the money on R&D of a product

Swift Thinking - Britbus Dublin Deckers Now In Stock!
skinner75 replied to BosKonay's topic in Irish Railway Models
One of each ordered up now! -
I paid €90 with postage for it
-
I picked up one of these last year on Adverts.ie - sitting proudly on my mantelpiece now.
-
Lol! It goes to show that it pays to 'shop around' so to speak!
-
I can't stand this releasing of news on Facebook - why is there nothing on murphymodels.com about this? From their website 'In the works' section: "As of September 2020 we have no plans for future models now that the Class 121 is on sale" Facebook is rot

Could he not have ordered from Amazon.de? €60 there with free shipping, versus £50 from the UK site https://www.amazon.de/fire-tv-stick-4k-ultra-hd-mit-alexa-sprachfernbedienung/dp/B07PW9VBK5/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=C0EAU5FV8T2W&dchild=1&keywords=amazon+fire+stick+tv+4k&qid=1614606707&sprefix=amazon+%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-1
