This seems endemic in the model railway world. I am currently having issues with an indivudual who has a load of my (kit) models for many years now and won't give them back. He told me me he'd make them up in a matter of months and has spent years making increasinlgy nonsensical excuses and claims as to why he hasn't delivered them; along with frequent promises that he'll have them all ready "at the latest next Thursday" etc etc.

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.

Unfortunately, this also rings a bell. Similar M.O. to a certain individual I had dealings with a few years back. Another David, by any chance?

Tell it like it is. He is a shyster.

I can think of a few other words to describe him, but I'll refrain from posting them here. 

Brilliant stuff. I love how you've blended it into the surrounding scenery.

Surprise surprise. It's empty.

So close…

The fact that I even narrowed it down from this... 

And came up with Mercedes Benz, deserves a prize. Does it not? 

After lots of cutting and applying, I finally got these finished during the week.  

Unfortunately, I didn't get them all covered as I ran out of decals. But I think I've got enough done for a convincing yard scene.

Ok, seeing as it's you. An empty crisp packet.

Great stuff, Graham. Your workbench never disappoints.

Early morning at the MPD we see railcar 2607+2608 being prepared for service,
085 and 175 receiving exams,
127+128 spare and 124+134 being coupled together for freight duties-the fitter giving the bogies and fuel tank of 124 a wash.
 

Brilliant scenes, Noel. I really like this shot in particular.

Hi all,

 

Can anyone let me know what these are called  please? and does anyone know where they can be brought?

Thanks

You should buy a few more buses and make a little street.

Or, I could make a little street without buying a few more buses

What a fantastic shot. Brilliant stuff @jhb171achill 

Each time I look through these photos, I notice more and more details. This is a superb piece of work  @Rob

OK, OK, as of this evening, I’m finished with them…

For now…

I knew it wasn't sausages in that box...

Took the chance to put up display for some ongoing projects. Plenty there, and only the motive ones, and many more round the attic. 

Great way to remind yourself of what needs finishing. I start something, put it in a storage box, and forget to go back to it.

MCG 1:18 Scania 143M (with a Road Kings DAF 3600 lurking behind), been after this one for ages!

Eh, I seem to remember you telling me, you were finished with the 1:18 trucks. More lies!

The display plynth / plinth is a lovely idea, too.

It is, Dave. It's a nice little extra. 

I couldn't resist ordering one of these. Arrived this morning. It's a very impressive model.   

Fantastic stuff @Rob. This thread just gets better and better.  

Following on from my previous post, I've decided to continue covering my IRM fertiliser loads with @murphaph's excellent IFI decals. 

As before, I'll be attempting a full wrap of each load.   

I'm not quite sure how many I'll manage to complete, as covering them this way requires using more than one decal for each load, and there's alot to get through.

Are there still stations left with the old style orange and white signage? IÉ are really pushing ahead with the new signage, but I like the way at Clonsilla station they have kept the old sign with the plug logo and CIÉ 2000 font.

I took these photos at Ballina station in October 2022.  

Unfortunately, when I returned in 2024, the older signage had been replaced.
