    Good evening / morning! Looking for x4 or x6 cab interior inserts for EMD class 201 in 00 gauge. Happy with Murphy Models or 3D printed variations. These are for a MIR class 201 kit & two cut n' shut Hornby / MIR MKIV DD inspired DVTs. Thanks in advance! - Tony.

    Good evening! or shall I say good morning! maybe it's afternoon when you've read this, so, good afternoon! Apologies for the delay getting back, just been a ta bit busy. Thanks peps for the great & wonderful responses & advice, I very much appreciate. As I'm new to this whole paint stripping thing, I think it's best if I were to stay clear from brake fluids for now, same for dettol. But will keep this in mind for future for when I'm working on plastic/metal kits. Thanks! Would you have any recommendations on brands of IPA & strengths? I've also seen this product come up a few times & it's supposed to be good. https://youtu.be/VPeDsrgydss?si=o_SQPZ-od1SDOA5n Fortunately, the person I've bought the two MIR resin class 201 bodyshells from has left some painted bits of off cut(?) resin in the box, so, can test them with the different strippers. Think I'm going give IPA & the 'Green Stuff World' paint stripper ago. Thanks again for the quick response, & the brilliant advice, very much appreciated!

    Evening! Hope everyone is keeping well these autumn days.... Looking for some advice, if that's okay? Recently purchased two second hand MIR resin class 201 locomotive bodyshells which are partly painted & i would like to get them painted sometime. Is there a way that you would recommend to remove the paint without damaging the resin? As you can probably understand, having never done this before, it's little bit anxiety inducing.... Some sources say use this & that, while others say don't, such as IPA, whitespirit, brake cleaner, nail varnish remover, oven cleaner, dettol, paint stripper, etc etc. Very mixed messages! Thanks in advance & have a lovely evening.

    I use a bluetooth 'Onn' (Asda/Walmart own brand) speaker hidden in the Urby card bus to play announcements or other sounds. I also use it to playmusic whilst working on that section (Somewhere Station).... VID_24820830_103225_235.mp4

    The Next Train to arrive on Platform One is the 1723 service to River Nore. Calling at River Nore only! This service is formed of 3 coaches. Please remain behind the yellow line until your train has came to halt & allow passengers to alight before trying to board.

    Nothing. Nothing has gone to plan! Also no Garden layout.... too costly! Sorry.... Attempt two! - He's at it again.... But, there WILL BE a Holyfast Depot & a River Nore station sometime in the future, just can't say when.... but it'll be on a different layout to this 'plan'. Anyways, heres the almost complete branch line station; "Somewhere" for this layout....

    Morning peps, Happy New Year! Would anyone know where one could find a photo of an O&K Sugarbeat locomotive with the number on the bufferbeam? As far as i'm aware, the Irish O&K Sugarbeat locomotives carried three plus liveries.... ○Large painted side tank number with yellow lining O&K No.3 with this livery at DCDR on its first day back in pass. service. Dec.2018 ○Small brass side tank number with yellow lining O&K No. 1 with this livery at DCDR. Aug.2018 ○Painted bufferbeam number, possibly with yellow lining? no photo As to this, would anyone know of any other liveries the O&K carried? - Me & a mate sat up past 4am last night discussing this via text Thx in advance! Also, thanks for the help on the "Chips" subject

    Here are two PRIDE CAF Class 4000 liveries designed earlier this year to support Equality across NI. Sadly, Translink didn't use them but did update their logo which was a win

    about to move big bulky furniture. 

    whish i was playing trains

    or sleeping.... yeah, sleeping sounds great....

  17. tonybonneyba
    Ah. I think i understand.... So, i need to put the spring clip - with the insulation sleeve - back on the top of the motor?
  18. tonybonneyba
    Bah Humbug! Friend lent me his loco aslong as i fixed it, it wouldn't move, noticed the pick up on one side was missing, so hacked in a little old hornby tank (which had motor problems, i'm going replace that later in 2019) & stole one of its pick ups, the tender loco smoked up. Decided to replace the motor, new one didn't fit in the shell.... replace both pick ups? - No movement & no smoke (its not suposse to smoke anyhow). Any ideas?? Images show it with new pickups wired in place of the old ones....
  19. tonybonneyba
    Ahh, sounds easy enough. I don't mind lossing cab lights.... pointless for my shunting layout anyways. Theres enough room in the 201 for the TTS speaker, maybe i should keep that one instead?
  20. tonybonneyba
    Ah, but the TTS chip has built on speaker
  21. tonybonneyba
    I have a MM Class 201 DCC & DCC Sound Ready, I also have a Hornby TTS Class 67 sound chip which has a speaker attached.... you see where this is going? If one wanted to "plug in" the 67 sound chip to th 201 (which already has a speaker), how would one do this? Thx in advance! Side note: i'm not going to buy a MM CL201soundchip, its too dare at the moment for me....

    Did anyone hear about the cheese??

    There is a page on Facebook {FB} which I have been following from the start after a friend shared it. The page gives a insight & a look behind the sences of the Ambulance service in Northern Ireland, better known as the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service or NIAS for short. At this point, your problay thinking i'm just going on about NIAS's own FB page, but im not (although, i do recommend following them), the page i'm talking about is actually called The Teddy Medics. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2022505857994836&id=1986675954911160 The paramedics & tech's behind The Teddy Medics use hand-knitted teddys (which are based off NIAS personal) in a fun, funny & creative way to give a look behind the sences of a everyday life of a paramedic & tech within the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service.... I highly recomend checking them out! -->> https://www.facebook.com/The-Teddy-Medics-1986675954911160/ Image: One of Teddy Medics in the new, all-green NIAS uniform - image by the knitter of the bears & uniform.

    World: We need to cut DOWN on light pollution
    Northern Ireland: *Installs super bright street lights*
    World: *sigh* There's always one
    Northern Ireland:   :P   :P
