Belmond Hibernian - Luxury Touring Train
richrua replied to Broithe's topic in What's happening on the network?
Personally I would paint it orange and black just for the craic -
My father in law rescued me there a while back. He says to herself "well wouldn't it be worse if he was out every night spending money in the bar and the bookies" . Of course he speaks from experience being an avid amateur photographer with a lot of kit...

I suppose it is reasonably logical, even without the outer layer. Chipboard, for example, is rather flexible and requires many cross beams in any application.

Funny enough I was recently chatting to a fella who gave up the smokes and spent the money collecting trains. You should see his collection!!!!

I have a second job for one evening a week from which I put away a few quid for the trains. I try to keep it within that 'pocket money' ... I have become reasonable at saving up for more expensive things.

Well built, work impeccably.

071 071 is called into service for the last run of some coaches before the breakers yard in Dundalk or Adelaide. or maybe this little station serves a bustling satellite town and for once the branch line is saved by forward thinking folk....
