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 -

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!

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

I wonder how that's going to work now post-Brexit?

Wasn't it Brendan Ogle & the ILDA that screwed up rail freight?

Such a shame that it is only marketed/sold on Facebook...

Any time I've been on an RPSI tour in their Cravens, it has been behind an 071 or 201 that is used in active duties, so there is multiple loco options available for the RPSI Cravens. I do get the point of a steam model hauling them though, to represent the steam trips the RPSI do. Personally, I have no interest in steam as steam was before my time, and wouldn't buy a steam loco model. I'll buy diesels till the cows come home though!
-
The A class I have preordered from the .com site, will these ship from Ireland? I am living in Ireland, so this would be preferable - no duty to worry about, which would be a nice bit on the price of the locos.

Capacitors C7 & C8 definetely look like they are touching, and C5 looks a bit askew too. Pretty shonky looking placement/soldering job on those three components.
