    BBC4 Wed 9 P.M

    Programmed the freesat box last night to record this - cheers for the heads up guys!
  2. Lets hope they don't start naming the locos after his 'conquests', like they do with the trucks!
  3. To almost brand new planes though?
  4. More junk for sale: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HORNBY-CIE-IRISH-RAILWAYS-HYMEK-LOCO-/190781501832?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2c6b76b188 and the price!
  5. Welcome onboard Karl! As Glenderg says about the attic - leave the stuff in the floor as it is, just put boards down over it, and then insulate inbetween the roof joists. This is the road I'm going down with my attic. I got a secondhand Styra (as seen on the Late Late Show!) from Donedeal for €150, and I have started putting chipboard flooring down, sitting on 4" joists. I'll insulate inbetween the roof joists when the flooring is done, as it can be rightly chilly in the attic at the moment!
  6. American quality eh?... Probably hammering them together using their eyes - zero H&S in the US of A.

  8. Lovely work there Robert - you really captured the look of a used beet wagon!

    Fotopic

    I was able to download all my pics from Fotopic a few months back
  10. I'm bracing myself for the last installment of 'fluff' ;-)
  11. Here's a vid on how to do hardstanding/concrete:
  12. Yet another fantastically realistic weathering job - just like the real thing!
  13. Got the calendar in the post today - lovely shots! I especially like October with 086 on the Taras with its black & orange door.
  14. Just as well I get paid this weekend! Won't make it to the show though, so I'll have to order them online
  15. Nice info on that site regarding the CIE Sulzers alright!
  16. http://www.youtube.com/user/andyskinner75?feature=mhee Here's my channel. As gm171kk says, no real model rail stuff there, bit of a mix-mash, but some railway stuff. Lots of Metal vids!! When I get around to starting my attic layout, hopefully in the new year once I get the floor down, I'll be adding vids to the above.
  17. Though you see plenty of boy racers with the aul black bonnet nowadays!
  18. My advice for bidding on ebay is to wait until the very last minute to do so - cut it as close to the end as possible, then stick in your max bid. Bidding when there are days left to go is pointless if you ask me, as this will allow the bidding to creep upwards over the remaining days. A friend of mine does this all the time when bidding on vinyl, and swears by it.
  19. I'd go for one of those myself - won't be able to make it to the Raheny show though
  20. Found this vid of a Sulzer powered NSU locomotive in use in Austrailia in 1983, being used to take up a disused narrow gauge line: http://youtu.be/4gRGOCNC2w0
