Yeah, just saw that. The ratio of wagon weight to payload does seem high compared to some of the U.K. stock. Over all figure keeps the axle load below 22 tonnes. Some of the pocket container wagons do not seem that old so I presume they will be excluded. Wonder what the wagon types will be.

You could end up shifting the factory but find in two years time that that country was to be hit with tariffs.

Where did you put the wife's meat that was in the freezer?

Good post. If they do not order now there will be no Christmas supplies. A lot of money will have been outlaid for products that will not arrive before tariff day. So do you cut and run and give up your production slot? If "tariff day" does not come to pass there will be a scramble to get a production slot as others will have played the wait and see game too. It will effect toys in general. If supplies are not brought in there will be a lot of angry parents at Christmas. Many will have believed in the "produce everything in America" mantra without seeing how it would play out. Sounds great in theory but something that would take years to implement. I can see a lot of photos of The Grnich sitting behind a big desk hitting the internet come Christmas.....

Clark Railworks OO Demountable Tank Wagon Announcement – Rails of Sheffield

A Heljan class 57. Lima class 47 and lima class 31. Class 57 from Rails of Sheffield while the Lima class 31 and 47 came from EBAY and are unused. Very pleased.

Yes I bought some stuff these too. Even places like ELTOY and BANBA had some train stuff. Think Marks Models is about the only one now. Was there a Murphy Models place somewhere about Aungier Street?

Every time I think of Monck Place I get the aroma of pipe tobacco. Same when I use the models I bought there......

They were instock yesterday when I put the listing up. Must have been someone from this neck of the woods that bought them.

That video of Youghal is sad. I remember going to Youghal by rail from Dublin to stay in the CIE camping coach holiday thing. These were carriages in a field on a length of track. All mode cons on board. Cooking facilities, bunk beds and wooden stair cases from the grass to the doors. To hire one you had to travel on a mainline train, so it was done to promote rail travel too. Don't think it lasted too long but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Going from Drimnagh to a coach in a field was a novelty to say the least. Someone had initiative then.

The word "ambitious" seems to imply something out of the ordinary. So not just a loco on it's on, but a small loco with some wagons. So maybe a 401 or a 421 class plus three cattle wagons?

Said it before. A small CIE shunter and two or three cattle wagons in a set. Hours of fun...
