  1. Very glad to hear this. Was in communication with Hattons many weeks ago just after the closure to ask about the fate of the product database and this is a good solution
  2. I have several of these and tbh the flaws are very livable. I’m trying to think of a manufacturer that doesn’t have some flaws
  3. Where is the dedicated provision for bicycles other than a bicycle on the floor which is where they’ll all end up? standing on IC services? Lawsuit waiting to happen….
  4. Also reached out to Rails, same reply. Maybe a little more time. But it does show how desirable the Genesis coaches are, given the lack of anything similar or better out there (rtr)
  5. I would suggest changing the title to this interesting thread/video as it will not be found in a search of the forum save one for leprechauns and the like
  6. Sign me up x3, then there are liveries, here we go… (well hopefully)
  7. Surely that’s the signalman’s fault, setting the incorrect road? Ah, now I understand how in old photos various stock got so far from home territory except none really got to West Cork (sorry, Jonathan, working on my accent still) Wouldn’t be a bad idea for kids to see these running, recent posts showing concern for the permanent loss of interest in earlier eras with the passing of time and modellers
  8. Would be handy to have one for mainline and secondery route NIR stock also
  9. Serious and liberal use of the slider on the progress bar required on this amateur video, first ten minutes discussing the card board thickness, recycling the box, the underside being white?! some running near the end, start from there…
  10. My 1981 book was on the missing list but was found near the re-numbering queue..... So I was second guessing myself that possibly the 'kitchen' end of the Grill, the BDTSs or DBFO 813 might have had B5 bogies but the three generator van were the only ones to have B5s at the genny end
  11. Some did want to put a prototypical rake together that required extra coaches but this is difficult with them being sold as triple packs There's a piece of luck, nice design
  12. Could someone just confirm for me what bogies are on the prototypes for the BDTS, grill car and generator vans and whether there are B4, B5 on both ends or just one end for each of the three prototypes please? Thanks so much.
  13. Mine just arrived Stateside and OMG! Absolutely love the Blue & Grey livery, as for the BGW, like just WOW! Love the gennys, grill will definitely need weathering, not to mention the exhaust…. but the DBSO, beautifully lit, very well thought out, cab lit separately, stays on in reverse but on DC only right now for a Quick Look (can’t remember if that prototypical, wouldn’t fault it either way). Lights still on the capacitor when I lifted it off the track, wand easy to use. Honestly if you have the remotest interest in NIR get some of these. Need to stick a chip in 111! Ok, …… Hunslets! (would someone give me a quick nudge and wink if there is any reason not to dismantle a perfectly good Class 20 w sound) PS: Boxes are still green
  14. Given how little freight and passengers are conveyed by Irish Rail I wonder if this would make any significant impact other then to tick some boxes Not sure why they would bother, given this should already be in place by the Irish government. Have any fossil fuel powered generator station in Ireland been eliminated by green energy from, wind, tide/hydro dare I ask?
  15. @BosKonay Nothing urgent but noticed a lot of recent issues remaining signed in on iPhone 13 and signed the terms and conditions a dozen time already
  16. Wondering why mailing notifications for my Northern Irish models were sent by that company in the UK, Accurascale Unless the color rendition is very off the boxes are blue? At least they’ll be easier to find in the sea of green
  17. The button to put them in the cart seems to be missing, PREORDER only except the two BnTs (luckily). I’ll try again today…
  18. And yet all you could type was this ? They will be produced per Hattons closing down letter but how and by whom will they be delivered is not known, so don’t bother reading the entire thread
  19. True, and Valentines Day just around the corner
  20. Often wondered why with its enthusiasm to augment the railbed, CIE felt it needed to completed ignore and reduce the loading gauge?
