  1. Old Lima Metro-Vick 125 here from Italy, in case anyone is looking for one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lima-HO-1-87-IRELAND-Irish-Railways-CIE-Metro-Vick-125-/361755451167?hash=item543a4e1f1f:g:cwMAAOSwmLlX8jMw
  2. Poor match I thought - plenty of loose passing straight to the opposition by both sides. Mayo missing that last point at the end of the match that could have taken them to extra time was criminal, as was Dublin missing the point just minutes beforehand. Give it another 65 years and try again Mayo
  3. You could get close to the state of most of the bubbles by spraying them with glue & dipping them in a bowl of flour I reckon!
  4. I've heard they have around 4000 bookings for it at present
  5. Hi all, This popped up as a suggestion for me on Facebook. Had a quick look, and thought it may be of interest to people here! http://www.digikeijs.de/catalogsearch/result/?q=Dr5000
  6. I think I'll have to be content with a Deutz repaint, some wagons, and a coach in black n tan - run as a branchline.
  7. Just remember that you stand a chance of getting hit with duty on stuff coming in from outside the EU. Not funny that they include the cost of postage along with the cost of the item when working out the amount of duty you pay - typically 30% on top
  8. Yes please! I'd be interested to see what is out there. I know a Deutz G is available in DB colours
  9. First I've heard of it! But then I don't even know my own blood type
  10. Great news alright - he is really annoying! I think they should have changed up the format of the show more. Evans is just reading the script Clarkson would have read, and it doesn't work. I like LeBlanc, and Chris Harris is great for handling/reviewing the Super/Hypercars. My brother was showing me his reviews on Youtube a couple of years ago, and they are really professional. I like the rallycross lap rather than the old standard track lap for the stars, and it is good to have two on together.
  11. addresspal.ie from AnPost is handy too. Pickup from your local postoffice, for €3.50, but €25 if it is over 20kg or 72cm X 31cm X 25cm
  12. I recorded it, and will give it a look tonight. I wouldn't be a fan of Chris Evans either. The car shows I tend to go for a lot more are the likes of Car SOS or Wheeler Dealers, where a regular car is brought back from being in a sorry state, to full health
  13. More great cameos down at The Junction! Love it
  14. I was thinking - will it be handed over to the RPSI for use on their diesel tours? Just like the 141/142 were repainted before handover. Either way, it's a lovely way for IE to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a classic loco.
  15. Wasn't IK used in Dublin? I can remember mid seventies deckers here in Dublin with BIK registration plates
  16. Here's the channel on youtube with Off the Beaten Track: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxEglx8PUE-zDLcEEoRTxgA
  17. mores the pity!
  18. If the same had been done back in the day, how many lines that were taken up would now be able to be reinstated now, and not have had housing estates or shopping centres built on them? A greenway doesn't prevent the line from being reopened years down the line, when it would have to be relaid anyway, so no bad thing IMO
  19. for this sort of thing, http://www.addresspal.ie

    Traxeditor.

    Had a quick look - seems handy enough. The Bachmann 00 track codes all tally, though I don't think they have all the track listed (no Y point). Handy to not have to go installing anything, and just run in the browser. Should be easier for letting others take a look at plans & make comments too
  21. Not ebay, but Adverts - some track & a Hymek plus two coaches. For those who are into those hideous Hymek repaints! http://www.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/hornby-railway/10004592
  22. They'll go well either in pairs, or in a mixed pair with MM 141/181 - or even single! Should sell like hotcakes. Not that a 201/001 class wouldn't either!
  23. shame he is not on adverts.ie - at least there he could be 'baited' in the comments section
  24. I thought Llan is pronounced 'clan' - no?
