He's doesn't open boxes

Kernow's price is way above the odds and DC's at the upper end. These are still available even now. If you bide your time, I'm pretty sure a site member will have one surplus to requirements

Reflected ripples in the Gulf stream suggest that vast quantities of a certain coach may have returned to to the Orient which would certainly explain why no more stock can be sourced by Marks Models so soon after release of an 'unloved' product. That 'being' the case…… well, I'll leave the chinese whispers to Dave

WOW! Very nostalgic and informative..…and as much in the background as in the foreground for modelers:tumbsup:

He-he

Marks Bachmann sale started when the MM sale ended at the end of May. There was not too much on sale of interest to me when I looked last. I spent a lot on the MM sale but nothing on this as yet. Maybe I'll look again at some scenecraft

From their website "We have highly trained and experienced staff that remain committed to providing a professional and specialist relocation service" I didn't think relocating your art and antiques to the middle of an active double railroad was to be advised especially if your collection of locos and rolling stock is in there!

No, but maybe I can hack the wife's Facebook account:praying: EDIT: question posted there

Does anyone know where I might be able to find some of these Britbuses? They were release 4-5 years ago and sold out I think AE-05A AEC Regent III/Park Royal Great Northern Railway 285 Dundalk AE-05B AEC Regent III/Park Royal Great Northern Railway 287 Newry AE-06A AEC Regent III/Park Royal C I E AR 295 Drogheda AE-06B AEC Regent III/Park Royal C I E AR 301 St Annes Estate Many thanks

As my old flight instructor would have said "any landing you can walk away from is a good landing". I think they run away from this one….

He-he. Could have been worse. Mind the gap!

Thanks IM! Any other September shows please let me know. Thank you.

Subscribed to the thread so I could find it again!

Eoin, I was just curious it that fan shifts any air or has flat blades only. I seem to remember someone drilling out an exhaust on a 141? recently as the decoder generated a lot of heat

Thanks, Eoin. That would definitely be an alternative. I was hoping to see some layouts in the flesh and maybe chats with a few modellers. Still planning a layout in my mind but would like to see what others have done and what works

Any more info on the Abbeyleix show or anything in mid September-ish?

Can I get some? At half price, I don't need the boxes

Weathering bible might be useful, no ideas on detailing this class, not my outline http://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Weathering-Martyn-Welch/dp/1874103119/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1435718429&sr=1-1&keywords=the+art+of+weathering+martyn+welch Food for thought http://martynwelch.com

As a follow-up to the thread my new 2700 class DMU with its TCS decoder is now working perfectly. When received, the locomotive's TCS decoder had a long address of 2700 and would not work on DC. I reprogrammed the decoder to a short address (CV1) and it immediately ran perfectly on DCC and the TCS function only decoder in the dummy car worked the directional marker lights in that car flawlessly. When switched back to DC the DMU again ran perfectly when it would previously not do so, confirming what several members had stated, that their TCS decoders would allow the chipped loco to run on DC. I don't have a manual for the TCS decoder but referred to my Lenz 21+ booklet. CV29 Bit 3 (which facilitates running on both DC and DCC (when enabled), versus operation on DCC only) is set by default to "1" (on), which allow DCC and DC operations. I did not reprogram CV29, merely reset the decoder to a short address (CV1), so it appears that the CV29 Bit 3 was automatically reset to on. It is unclear whether the CV29 Bit 3 was accidentally turned off ("0") by the previous owner disabling DC running, or whether programming an extended address alone (CV29 Bit 6) disables DC running by turning Bit 3 'off'. I believe the TCS decoder in the dummy car is a function only decoder (without a motor control) and since both were likely programmed together as a consist disabling CV29 Bit 3 not only prevents motor operations but entirely disables operation under DC including functions (in this case, lighting) Everything working correctly now, so happy this was such an easy fix!

Found one in a UK model shop

To answer my own question here, 1964- Flying Snail emblem replaced within 'Broken Wheel' logo. 1987- Logo change from CIE to 'IR' (Irish Rail) 1994- Logo change from IR to IE (Iarnrod Eireann) THis and more cover nicely in Kieran's thread here http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4699-CIE-to-IE-Timeline?highlight=cie+timeline

The sheer variety of rolling stock in these old videos is incredible. I have seen this video before and only now realize how much I missed the previous time! How all of this was lost in incomprehensible:confused:

Please PM me if you have one of these boxes that you no longer need. Thank you, Kevin

Likely it could. It would be a great resource as long as members take care to ensure the accuracy of additions or amendments to it
