Don't seem to remember asking that Spudfan. Think you might be mixing me up with someone else. I've been going to the the same model shop for years.

I mentioned bullshit before you replied to me. I wasn't directing it towards you. And if you look back, Brexit and everything that comes with it has been mentioned. As Fran has suggested, I'll leave it there. The Moderators have enough to be doing this weekend.

General Chat. Letting Off Steam. Wherever you fancy. This thread is about the model itself. Not Brexit, or how it will impact on VAT etc etc etc... Nor is it about what discounts Irish Retailers give to their customers.

I take it you're referring to my comment. It is bullshit, when it's being posted in this thread. I'll say it again, post elsewhere, It's taking away from a fantastic model.

Sorry I didn't go into the politics behind my comment. But whether it was Irish Rails decision or their paymasters, it has resulted in the demise of freight movements before and since. That was the point I was making. I never said cement, or any other freight carried by Irish Rail wasn't loss making. Whatever way you look at it, it's sad to see.

Any chance the bullshit regarding pricing etc can be shifted elsewhere. It has nothing to do with this thread, and is taking the good out of what is a long awaited model.

Love it Noel. Looks fantastic with the new lighting. Really adds to an already superb layout.

Love it Noel. I do like my buses, and that's a seriously impressive collection.

078 & 232 Dublin Heuston 232 at a rather wet Cork 078 now at a much brighter Killarney 078 & 232 back at Heuston

Stunners Right, I'm off to put my paper underpants on.

As always.The Junction never disappoints

Oh they are just stunning. This project might have taken that bit longer than expected Fran, but the results just go to show yet again, that good things come to those who wait. You and the lads at IRM should be immensely proud of your achievements to date.Highest of respect from here.

Thanks for the info. Nice work all round, it's looking really well.

Great news, really looking forward to the arrival of these. Another must have from the Irish freight scene. Once I get my hands on these, it'll be one less from a very long list

I'm liking that wall Mr Fritters. What did you knock that up from, if you don't mind me asking.

Hi John, Thanks for the positive feedback. To answer your question regarding the Ammonia and Barrier wagons. Unfortunately they haven't progressed any further since the last post, spare time for modelling has been hard to come by since the start of the year. They are currently sitting on the bench along with my IRM cement bubbles. The Ammonias are a personal favourite of mine, so I'm itching to see them finished myself

Cheers Rich. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. I'm looking forward to getting it painted now and adding the finishing touches. It's also nice to know there's someone else out there with a cement fetish

Evening all, Very little work to report on from the bench of late. I really must put that right over the coming months. Anyway, to try get the ball rolling again, I made a long overdue return to the silo during the week. And after a couple of hours work, it's now at the stage where it's ready for painting. I'm also considering mounting an LED just inside the entrance to replicate the dimly lit interior which I've noticed from various photos. Although thinking about it, it's probably not worth the hassle for such a minor detail.

Nice, very very nice. As already said above, this is class and is a joy to watch as it progresses. My preferred era also.

I think that's what's known as a subtle hint

Purse, wallet. They both do the same thing at the end of the day. Sure it's the thought that counts Seamus

While I'm down there, I think I might pick up some of them wallets, can't go wrong at that price. That'll be the crimbo present sorted for Her Indoors.

A few more...

Dunnes in Portlaoise you say? Right, I'm off to stick some diesel in the motor. With any luck I'll be the next victim of this scam when I eventually arrive there.

Dug out some more vans. This time around, Eircom and Network Rail.
