If they did, I would certainly get a U. Will wait and see. Fingers crossed! Not my forte
-
It's likely they received some polite constructive suggestions and made modifications. The UG class looks nice. No change to the U class from what I can see though, maybe a little on the loco under the boiler. I'd prefer the U in that livery. I can't magnify properly this for some reason. Hmm, can't download it either

Terry Wogan, a household name on both sides of the pond. Just heard the news a coupe of hours ago. Did not know he was ill nor did many from what I understand. Pretty young to pass in this day and age. RIP

I'll take two, John

That will be really cool for personal use or to sell when Halloween comes !

Artistic license would allow the creation of Gráinne and Deirdre. I'll take those please Won't be needing the bubbles then, just the 'cement' powder please 3 clues? I'd second that (actually I think I proposed it) but they won't do it, I think:( An A class would sell way more I'd bet Any ideas as to the livery? Personally I'm hoping for orange or that beautiful steely blue-grey that someone posted a month back, maybe Glenderg, can't remember off hand, will dig it out later. Hoping for not another ivory with powdered muck melded to it but that's just personal choice

They had very economical shipping rates for overseas and their website was very transparent making all the VAT and shipping calculations at checkout rather than "we'll send you a quote later". Staff exceptionally nice to deal with also
-
Very cool, Bren! Darken the chain mail in the facial area as much as possible with something matt so there are no reflections from the links. My recollection of the King Angmar there, are that there is a deep 'void' in the facial region
-
Probably right. I guess you buy it on eBay then
-
Thanks for that information. It seems I have numbers for the gypsums that are indeed correct then.
-
Do the white metal or brass components create any electrical problems actually fitting these with a DCC chip (like, say, a split chassis loco)? How easy would it be to access the boiler to place a DCC chip as I assume parts may not just unclip like in plastic locomotives?

Pender & Richards book (1967) refers to these four wagons introduced in 1954 for carrying gypsum. It details only wagons that were introduced by CIE although refers to other types (not tabulated in the book) that were inherited by CIE. I don't have an older reference than this. The 26666- series has 29 wagons seemingly on a 9'6" wheelbase but introduced as late as 1972. It's possible that a subset of the 12'0" ballast wagons also functioned as gypsums. If anyone has details of which ones would you please post these?

Why does UK/IE modelling persist with NEM couplings
DiveController replied to chris's topic in General Chat
Almost like you read my mind, Chris. I was wondering the same thing the day before yesterday while running some MM stock round a couple of ovals with switches. Just a shade off and they won't couple easily and occasional uncoupling with any blemish in the track work like a point etc. There has already been a thread on here in the last few month concerning uncoupling on gradients:( -
I looked at Locos & Rolling Stock of CIE & NIR Doyle/Hirsch 2nd Ed. ('81) for the numbers for the gypsums and could only find one series 26666-94 on a 9'6" wheelbase. Initially I thought this was a error/typo so I got my hand on the 3rd Ed. 1987 where the same catalogue appears. Were there two separate sets of 20T gypsums as these ballasts (and just about everything else after the earlier 10' wheelbase wagons) are on a 12' wheelbase? :confused:

Most of the traditional irish breeds would have been Dexters (small stocky black, red) Kerry (larger, black) Some Moiled Cattle (red & white) Herefords also seem to be relatively common(red) but more recent I think. Occasional Jersey hanging around homesteads but much rarer. Friesians (black & white) are a newer breed. Somebody with a more intensive farming background may be able to oblige with timing details.
-
I'd prioritize as follows. Supertrain full rake. EGVs and Restaurant would have to be correct for Irish prototypes. Much easier than respraying this rake. Also P-P set and incomplete set in IE (maybe full rake and get rid of my incomplete Lima rake)

Cover all bases, …. or not great at arithmetic

Does anyone know if the Loksound 3.5 DS decoder can be reblown with new sound files or just the 4.0? There is a bewildering array of Bachmann class 20s out there and none too cheap. Figuring which have directional lighting is an issue also
-
YOu could be with there, JB. I didn't realize how popular these were in terms of road freight way back when Some interesting old news paper clippings on CIE truck haulage et al.
-
Maybe someone who has ordered one could confirm this for certain?
