    The 22:20 Sligo-Northwall oil tank liner hauled by 054 is seen here at Tara junction station awaiting a crew change. 

    Those wagons have always been a favourite of mine. I've been contemplating starting on a rake for a while now, using the usual donors.  But then I keep telling myself, maybe a certain manufacture will eventually release an oil - molasses wagon.

    You mean people like me, who live in the real world, have jobs, do voluntary work, have other things to do, and are lucky to run their trains a few times per year...

    🙄

    It's ignorance, Dave. Hoarders, generally collect pizza boxes, newspapers, empty milk cartons, etc. Not €500 models. Or maybe that's just me stereotyping.

    Collectors and hoarders? You'd like to think they'll be played with and run on layouts, but at those prices will they ever be run?

    Who says it's a collector, or hoarder as you put it. Personally, if I forked out that type of cash for a loco, I'd run it.

    Cheers John. They will eventually find a permanent home on my 42' flats, once I get around to weathering them.

    Have my work cut out for me whenever I do sit down to it...

    Plenty of snipping, filing, and gluing to be done there. That should keep you out of trouble for a couple of hours :D

    Second-hand Hornby ONE pack in that same parcel.

    With Hornby, you get C-Rail print quality plus Dapol opening doors, so the best of both worlds there.

    I've bought a few of the Hornby double packs recently, and agree, they are very good models. As you've said, the print is definitely up there with C-Rail, and containers themselves, have some really nice detail.

    Yup, but I have a shedload of locking bars to cut off sprues today and glue in place!

    CD on in the background. Bottle of something cold. Sorted.

    @BosKonay Hi Stephen. Just wondering when the IRM A class Crossley engined sound decoders might become available to purchase. I've some lovely green, silver, and black livery A classes in need of a run on the layout. I'm not good at making silent layout movies :) The existing EMD ones sound great on the later livery CIE/IR A class locos. Thanks in advance. Noel

    I'm sure if there's something to report, we will all be made aware of it.

    Agreed, the fuzziness is not the end of the world, and they'll be grand on a moving train or practically anywhere that they're not the focal point.

    Although, I see your point, Dave. It is  slightly annoying. You'd expect better nowadays.

    In fairness, l think while being fuzzier than C Rail obvs, they look fine on a layout and, despite the quality concerns, l like them!!!

    Agree, Rob. No way near the quality of C-Rail, but passable for stacking etc, on a layout.
