  1. Hi all, For anyone that still uses a vhs player, I have the entire collection of Markle tapes covering railways in Ireland. All free - collection from Athlone, or can post at cost. -Andy
  2. Absolutely stunning (as we all knew it was going to be!)
  3. They should cover the whole of Paris with this film so! Only time I was there ('90s), I thought it a filthy graffiti cover cesspit of a place
  4. Got a reply from Marks after successfully filling out the Notification option on their site - they will be in touch with pricing etc when they know themselves. At least my name is in the pot now!
  5. I had a look at Marks Models site, but I don't seem to be able to add to cart, it just gives the option to be notified or to contact them. I filled in my contact details, but haven't heard anything back from them yet. EDIT: I filled in the contact section again, as I just remembered that yesterday when I tried, my work pc was giving trouble with the 'captcha' bit, and I couldn't submit the request - it worked fine for me today, so I'll wait to hear back from them now.
  6. Who/where (in Ireland) is taking preorders?
  7. Trump cares even less about the environment methinks
  8. I always liked the quirky look of the 'Dutch' van. I've an order in for a RTR one myself
  9. or: "Don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining"
  10. Not quite correct there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_Drugs_Act_(Singapore)
  11. "This seller is currently away..." in DREAMLAND!!!
  12. 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?
  13. 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
  14. 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)
  15. Their website could do with an update, as two years with no update is really poor
  16. Is there any update on the 121 from MM? No updates on their website that I can see
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. Sorted Fran - nice one!
  20. 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
  21. Same problem here - PM sent
  22. 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!
  23. A great thread full of info - should definetely be 'stickied' so it stays close to the top of the Workbench section for future reference
  24. Lovely job on both the wagon & the container!
  25. 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!
