There's a special place in my heart for d'oul T&D. Lovely job on those carriages and great to see the Branchline kits done up. Thanks for the shoutout John.

Count me in John.

Appetite much,much whetted.

It's what I love seeing photos of local stations with the freight areas all a bustle. You can reopen old lines, but can't really recapture that time when stations were an absolutely integral part of the local community and economy.

He has been

Green and silver Intercity would look far nicer methinks!

Looks like that's my Christmas present to "me" sorted out. It really is a very acceptable price and sounds like pure quality. I just wonder how mad it will look going around my proposed (hah!) Mallow layout.

Back in the late 70's I wanted an irish train set something wicked, but not the Jouef P.O.S. If Santa had left a Jouef set at the end of the bed, I'd have shot him on sight! They really look awful, but good to see they're getting some loving as a collectors item. And then I got my Hornby irish freight set and all was well.

You sure this is a model and not a sneaky Inchicore shot Lovely work, VERY realistic.

Gob. Smacked. Anything would be better than an old Ringfield but that is just lovely. Great solution, and a tidy little runner.

Sean, this may be of assistance in construction. http://newirishlines.org/2009/06/19/scratch-building-a-cie-cement-bubble/ Though the modern Kinder egg may not be of much use as they have changed the design a bit. Love the signal Eamon!!

Now that's not a bad spot, 20 minutes on the Dart, scenic location and a short walk from the station. If they (DLH) were still interested I'd like to know what objections would be made to a temporary exhibition as being any worse that hiding it away from a willing and interested public?

Long term car retainership went on longer well into the 70's. My dad bought a Morris Marina in '71 and held it 'til 1983. BL at it's best! David, Your layout goes from strength to strength. What a photo, handbuild 5'3 " gauge and a fab tapered junction signal as well, pure class. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh someday.

And this is why an existing building already designated for municipal purposes is an open door by comparison.

€900,000 retail costs / run of 5000= c. €180 each, sounds about right given the increase in costs that Bachy et al have had to pony up from China. Irregardless of the validity of the timeline mentioned, what would I like in my collection? Original grey yellow Black and tan CIE IR IE 124 and 136 and a FILTHY durty IE c.€1,000 the lot...youch.

Yes, they are waterside Richie.

Thanks for the feedback Boskonay. Myles, if pressure is to be applied, a viable plan should be fully laid out prior to any formal advocacy. One thing I see as key is due diligence done to understand what are the political, legalistic, elf and safety and parochial roadblocks that have lead to the current stalemate so as to counteract them. As I suggested, 400 square foot of municipal space, secure, cctv'd, all items behind glass Probably integrated within an existing museum or library space Temple Bar Ark, Collins Barracks, National museum. See this search link for the range of municipal buildings available. http://www.visitdublin.com/See_and_Do/tours_attractions/Museums_and_Galleries_in_Dublin Or an ante room in one of the transport hubs, Heuston Station, Busaras basement Do you make it free or charged which would require staff (another roadblock) An understanding that this is an interim / complementary measure until the working version is up. Personally I think Malahide is a non starter. When I visited in 2010 I was amazed at just how long it took to get there from the city centre, even with a car and with all the motorway structure in place, it is 10 miles. Take the train and you still have a 30 minute walk to the Castle. It would get a lot more footfall and exposure in the city centre. Just my thoughts. Exposure via Facebook, Twitter petition, Causes.com (integrates with Facebook, allows seamless send on) Oh, and yes, I'd like to help.

Oh that's very tasty.

Did someone say lining????

And here it is negatived

SSM have lining for mk3's, 6" black and tan cravens, eau de nile for 50's variants, and the RPSI.

I'll take 10, very tasty....

Must. Not. Purchase. But . Want......arrgh!!!

Lovely shots and lovely models, it's what it's all about eh?

Clucking bell Richie, some amount of work to get that done, and with EVERY window sticker applied, it really looks the job. Love the painting guide. 10/10.
