  1. Well, I am well over 60, and have only one single memory of seeing one in traffic!
  2. That’ll be some fleet, Mol! I’ve probably about 40 wagons at this stage…… dunno where I can keep them!
  3. Evidently not.
  4. Yup! For the least interesting, as opposed to your MOST interesting, we gave several choices. 1. Watching paint dry 2. Watching grass grow 3. Watching a video of an over-talkative railway enthusiast spending an hour and a half, ninety mind-numbing boring minutes, opening a box, taking the wagon out of it, setting it on a table and walking around it, still wittering on about some inane nonsense…..! Of these, (1) and (2) are preferable…..
  5. When can we discuss the new-build BCDR 4.6.4T or is that a secret?
  6. This has got to be the best video relating to a model railway subject that I have ever seen! Love the specially composed music too - all in all, utter genius, both the layout, the video production and the music!
  7. Thought so - encouraging!
  8. Fascinating stuff!
  9. At least the ITG have managed to secure one. Probably a static exhibit, I'd say - but with the moracles the ITG have been unveiling lately, including last Saturday, who knows! I wonder are any of the Sulzer engines in England of any use in terms of compatibility? I think B103's engine is largely gone?
  10. And worse, it’s not even Hornby asbestos, it’s Hornby Dublo!
  11. It’s an old kit I found, but it’s 12 inches to the foot scale. No DCC, though, and the couplings are completely incompatible with both standard Hornby ones and Kadees. It won’t run on code 70 OR 100 track, nor HO scale anything. It won’t go round curves, even a 2.4 metre radius one. So I’m not sure what I’ll do with it…. if someone will give me a tenner for it, it’s yours, but I’m told the postage could be high enough….
  12. I bet someone said “ooops!”
  13. Perfect venue for your E401 model!! "Ballymoll Mill Sidings"
  14. Well, the guy I'm having issues with (seperate person) has one week before I start legal action! I've been told pack after pack of lies for several years now. It'll cost him a lot more long term if he has to employ a solicitor.
  15. Most interesting, yes, that was a new one to me. And yes, B112 IS in the darker green, not to be seen on many diesels at all. A46 had it, and so did Downpatrick's C231 at one stage anyway. Of the extrremely few A, B101 & C's with dark green, all images I've ever seen of them have a waistline.
