Well, I'm going to make a detailing kit for it at some stage soon....

I bought one of Redplant100's hoppers on ebay and was so impressed, I got another 11. They really do the job. Dapol donor, brass handwheels and angle iron ends and two piece resin body, (hopper and base). Very, very tasty.

The outlaws live only 6 miles from here, if only I had got back into the hobby earlier, I'd have seen it for myself. Kingscourt line is fair wild now. 15 hoppers! And there's me thinking 12 would do the job...

Lordy, you never miss the water 'til the well runs dry, no PM facility was a pain in the tits.

I'd b like a dog with two mickies with that ttf file

Or it could be like Limerick Freight yard and used for parking cars....

You lucky lucky boy!! How the HELL did you get that font? Knowing your IT skills you probably scanned, traced and developed your own *.ttf file! Very nice.

Jesus, that dart must have been hitting a scale speed of about 90 mph...looked damn well though.

Ian Fleming from Goldfinger. Once is happenstance Twice is coincidence. Three times, take evasive action.

What a christmas present Richie, you're some man for one man. Love the old enamel signs. You should at least put up a paypal link with your email to allow us to make a voluntary donation. I know from past experience just how much work is required! If Jimmy Wales can take donations well..so can you!

That baby has autopilot with GPS!!

Jayzus, I'm weak at the knees after that Jacobite train. Just. Stunning. Garfield, that drone-chopper looks like a business proposition! I'd love to see it done. Killorglin to Valentia anyone??

Would have to say though that the helicopter shots at the end were just beautiful, particularly in how much of the original Victorian infrastructure was in place. If we could have had that for 30 minutes without the guff, t'would have been cool. I'd love to see a program with a helicopter following some of the closed lines. Or indeed a speeded up steady-cam on the line or hanging for a remote controlled mini-helicopter traversing just some of the more picturesque parts of our closed routes...

` Too true, but it is a hell of a lot better than its absolute nadir in the 70's. At least now: there is some sort of structured bias towards the pedestrian The GPO was cleaned up and fire damaged stone remedied Daniel O'Connell monument and others have been cleaned up and renovated The hoor in the sewer is gone ( the stilletto beats it even on a bad day) The Luas is sure better than nothing. The jury is still a bit out about the lime trees as versus the plane trees.... Faoi na líomaí how are are yez!

Housing crash. We've enough housing stock to last us for the next 10 years. or see http://irishrailwaynews.multiply.com/journal/item/5119

Hooters?? I'll settle for a quality blues night at the Dirty Duck!

so I just need 16 of them for a viable rake eh? And yes Warbonnet, only to have the digital cameras back even 5 years before...

WHERE did you get Mutley?? Love it!

I used the anti-shake for the Maedhbh's wheels video. Awful stuff altogether. Removed and reloaded it as soon as I could.

Did you see the state of the West on Track lad? Fáinne, tie two inches undone, a tooth gap you could have ridden a bike through. Image lads, image. Oh,and absolute fluff.

` Sound man. As I've stated on these pages before, if you decide to give it a shot, do NOT proceed without the following 1. bog standard soldering iron 25-35 watts 2. Carrs 145 solder and Carrs Green Flux (Chronos or DCC concepts) The 145 solder melts at a lower temp and much faster (added bonus: you can hold one end of a piece without burning your fingers) The flux reduces surface tension and helps the solder to flow very easily into a joint 3. Fine sandpaper or better still a fibre brush http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fibre-glass-scratch-remover-brush-watch-scratch-tool-/400345713587?pt=UK_Jewellery_Watches_WatchAccessories_SpareParts_SM&hash=item5d3676cbb3 You need this to remove the brass oxide layer. Solder and flux will work much better with the oxide removed. The brush removes it without leaving scratch marks or removing detail on the bras sheet

Gerhard, Good work, and given it's boxy design with loads of tabs, a sound choice to start soldering with.

Ger, top drawer job sir. She really looks the business. And thanks for the shout out! The windscreen wipers look the dogs. Chemical blackening or just paint?

Clucking bell. At 350 snots even Wrenn would pause before clicking the purchase button. Some yoke though...
