No problem - not from the usual suspects (Markle or Video125), so I was surprised when I found them too. The cab ride (vol3) is excellent
-
'Off the beeten track' series of three dvds by VideoLines is excellent - covering the 1998 beet campaign. First dvd covers the empties, second covers the loaded trains, and the third dvd is a cab ride from Waterford to Wellington Bridge. I've been rewatching them over the last few days. Available from http://railwayvideo.co.uk/irish-railways.html

I think they were to allow cooling of the brake lines, but don't quote me on that!

I checked in Woodies - €4.70 for a Dremel brass wire wheel brush. Went on Ebay, and got 50 steel wire brushes, suitable for Dremel, for €10 from China.
-
After 5 mins using the brass wire brush, there were about half a dozen wires left on it! Most having hit me in the hand or face as they parted company from the wheel
-
Wear safety goggles when using the wire brush, as wires have a tendency to part company from the wheel & can go in any direction. I've been using wire brushes in my dremel to clean up some tricky to reach parts of an engine block, and wires wear flying off it in all directions!

The way I remember it is Port & Left have the same amount of letters!

Das Model: Auferstanden aus Ruinen
skinner75 replied to Horsetan's topic in Continental European Modelling
Check out this vid from the Netherlands - similar to the German locos, with the wheels painted red & the body in black. Do you reckon they've got enough motive power on this one? ;-) -
Try hitting it with a hammer and then getting a proper phone!

Plenty of G scale Deutz for sale here, for those that want to try something in the garden! http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ZENNERSHOP-GARTENBAHNEN/Dieselloks-Spur-G-/_i.html?_fsub=6609059018

Copped that after I got a bounced delivery message. I resent to the above - just checking did you receive it (Andy Skinner)

could be, but even if the settings have too much blue/red/green, I am still going to notice a difference between one and the other, as it is the difference in shade that I am noticing, not how close the monitors representation of the actual colours is. Best bet would be one of those paint sample scanners though
-
That looks way off to me - the colour in the middle of the strip three to the left looks a lot closer to me (allowing for the fact I'm looking at it on a screen). That, or the colour (S 0585-Y40R) at the end of the strip you have the sample on looks closer too
-
I'll go for one Weshty - hopefully you get the 8 needed for the rerun
-
I love the tyre marks on the concrete - very cool freight handling yard that
-
Well then - go build your own to your own high standards if that's the way you feel. Perhaps other peoples standards aren't as high as your own - doesn't mean they should listen to you and boycott whoever, just so they will produce a higher standard rtr model for you to buy
-
Nice bit of modeling in the early series of Thomas, but it is all cgi now unfortunately
-
I'm of the opinion of 'buy it while it is available - no sense looking for it in 20 years time'. I've no layout to run anything on as of yet, but I am buying stock so that when I have a layout, I will have stock for it
-
I've no idea what the fuss about Twitter is all about! or how it makes money. Obviously not enough, as they gave a good whack of their staff the boot through an email only recently
-
Rivet work looks very well!
-
That's what I'm talking about Glenderg! Very nice Now all I've got to do is build the layout to run em on! That said, it'd be stupid of me to not buy stock while it is available, just because I've no layout yet. I have a mostly converted attic to use for housing a layout - just to come up with a plan for one & make a start
-
I placed an order for 4 packs, with the staggered payment option. I reckon a rake of 12 would look the part behind a 141, along with a plough van or two
-
Looks good!
-
Cool - give me time to put some cash away in anticipation!

I hope there will be an announcement at the Oct show. They would compliment the baby GMs released so far, and would be of interest to a lot more people, as they cover such a large period of time. I for one will be buying a couple of each livery variation that is released
