  1. I always liked the quirky look of the 'Dutch' van. I've an order in for a RTR one myself
  2. or: "Don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining"
  3. Not quite correct there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_Drugs_Act_(Singapore)
  4. "This seller is currently away..." in DREAMLAND!!!
  5. Bit late to be looking for one now if you want one for tomorrow no? How far are you prepared to drive today to get one?
  6. I heard on the radio that there is work taking place in the Alexandra Basin area of the docks to accommodate a larger 'Brexit-buster' cargo ship. The work will mean 50% less cruise ships docking in Dublin while the work is underway - tourism & other businesses that would make money from those onboard aren't too happy about it
  7. I think when leslie mentioned the electric motors being left in place, with the diesel engine acting as the generator, he meant that the new GM diesel engine drove the generator that provided the electricity to the electric motors (which were original to the loco when delivered from Metro-Vick)
  8. Their website could do with an update, as two years with no update is really poor
  9. Is there any update on the 121 from MM? No updates on their website that I can see
  10. I've seen some pictures of the 'sound barrier' opposite Inchicore, where some of the 001/201 locos look like the tan/orange has faded to what looks like a shade of pink even
  11. Very interesting - nice to see track renewal in the model form, just like the real thing! I've been meaning to get some G scale track down out in the garden, but haven't got around to it yet
  12. Sorted Fran - nice one!
  13. Balls - just ordered without fully reading the post above re the discount for those who ordered the other two packs. Sent an email/message using the Contact Us option on the IRM site just a minute ago
  14. Same problem here - PM sent
  15. Well, maybe he'll scrap the lot instead for the steel to make another tower block - save him having to buy in cheap Chinese steel!
  16. A great thread full of info - should definetely be 'stickied' so it stays close to the top of the Workbench section for future reference
  17. Lovely job on both the wagon & the container!
  18. I remember the very same about the gangways when I was a kid - late 70s/early 80s. Loved it! I can remember the first day of the Dart - probably the only thing I liked about the Dart was pushing the button after it lit up to open the doors!
  19. Ah sure 'The Donald' will sort that out - don't you know he's going to make America great again?
  20. Didn't people bash the Dart before it was launched?
  21. I heard one lad in the canteen today recounting his tale to others of how on Saturday, he got into his car 'just to go for a drive'. Utter gobshite. He went on to say how he couldn't even get out of his estate. Midlands based I think.
  22. Just bear in mind that it isn't an insured service. They managed to lose a watch on my dad - got successfully delivered to Addresspal in St. Albans, but then disappeared
  23. were they ever even made?
  24. Looking good!
  25. Very nice - I'll be looking forward to future posts on this thread!
