We have 603 members, of whom 202 visited the site in the last month (defined as 'active' as a result) We do see a large amount of non signed-up traffic, which is normal enough, most members will read and lurk for (in some cases) months before joining.

Feel free to suggest here what you'd like to see made and we can run a subsequent poll
-
Poll created here http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3767-Would-you-prepay-for-a-model?p=59117
-
Arising from the crowd funding thread, a quick poll and thread to determine, all else being equal, if people would be willing in principle to fund / prepay for a desirable model.
-
I'll see about adding a poll to gather numbers? I for one would happily support any such project. I've preordered Rapids hst for example and have zero trouble paying up for what undoubtedly will be s great model and good investment.

Sound chips mean you drive the loco like the real thing. You start the engine and move off. The engine revs and notches matching your speed and brakes squeak when you slow and stop.

What I did when using it was slot the track into the foam then glue the foam to the baseboard. That lets the foam keep a nice profile and shoulder and excellent noise reduction as te track 'floats' on the foam.
-
If using the ballasted foam, I'd highly recommend gluing the foam down rather than pinning the track, as the foam then looks squashed Otherwise looking excellent!

The 141 is one of the best pullers out there, ironically much better able that the newer 201s!

Love it Anthony - how did ye get the door open?!
-
In practice not unless you were planning 2 or 3 coaches only. From testing I did a few years back only heavy modern diesels could manage 4% gradients. Go with 2% if you want most things to manage it will decent length trains. 2% means that you will climb 2 inches every 100 inches or eight feet will clear about a two inch climb. So you'd need a 16 foot climb to get 4 inches off the baseboard.

Nice looking set for the money...

Interesting progress but the pre-existing concerns would remain I suppose...
-
Jawdroppingly good! That rev under load was fantastic!!!
-
What a stunner! Beautiful job on the detailing and weathering!

Or try them at lower voltages (1.5v for eg)

Would I be right that the Irish MKIII's are wider than their UK cousins? -
