Very interesting to see the railcar, only ever saw that in model form. Assume its the railcar itself which accounts for the bumpy ride rather than the track. Any audio video uploaded to the site is hard to get rid of once you hit save (I think) Don't accidentally mix in any personal videos now

Longer locomotives currently prohibited on this section

1960s, date uncertain Some lovely shots once again, Ernie. There's a slight inconsistency on the dates on two photos of A15. I wonder when it was actually reliveried into the lined green? 4 Jun 1961

Hopefully earns some cash for the RPSI or some in kind payment from the CIE works?

Possible solution on this thread. I need to fit some myself hence my interest

Just wondering if you have actually used this? It does seem to have back EMF Does this one work well, install easily , no wires showing? Looks like it has a small stay alive so hopefully no light flickering?

Agree with OB if you have that option. One of the other threads on the Ploughs highlighted this flickering issue probably because is 4 wheel and light relative to a bogie loco. I don't know if there were any decoder recommendations made, maybe check the DCC forum?

Do you ever feel like the railways had a relatively greater importance and were better equipped to cope then than now?

I have an IRM shipment that has been stuck in Miami for 10 days already. Stephen looked into this and its due to a shortage of drivers to take the shipments any further (so apparently not some importation nonsense in this case) I knew about this shortage but it's hard too believe they're just sitting there along with many others. More worryingly there is significant concern that the global supply chain is reaching a critical point, a collapse of which would be very disruptive to put it in its best light.

Very well deserved especially for such a new company to the modeling scene A testament to attention to detail I would say Its a shame there seems to be little recognition by Hornby of the Irish aspect of the business though

My shipment of vehicles left Dublin with DHL on September 23 and has been stuck in Miami since September 25. No word from DHL or DHL express, I don’t know what the difference is. This happened on a DHL shipment previously where they just sent it back to IRM without a word. Impossible to find out anything from them. I hope this is not a sign of things to come with my A class shipments

69-772-735 in NIR suburban livery and IR logos on cab front and coach sides, Arklow 1988 (other sets were 68-761-737 and 86-xxx-740, I can't remember the third). The IR branded 69 trio spent quite a lot of tine on the Cork-Cobh line 735 at Bray, sets were in service 1987-90 Sidings at Connolly. Single IR set of Points alway at the 'leading' end of the coaches on the left side (both directions)

Probably worth watching this on Youtube and noting some suggestions in the comments section also

Hang on, the container is not full! Did they forget to put in the laminate stock?

I understand it’s an industry term

Just wanted to remind everyone that the best way to run your silver A class is double headed

yea, it didn't look right but had to know

The rules regarding VAT and importation are pretty well established in some statute, I'm sure. Based on what is being stated in this thread An Post would by a preponderance of the evidence likely to be in contractual breach due to its failure to correctly and fairly execute its obligations, without adequate remedy, redress or financial compensation to a large unknown number of users. The bottom line being the most important component of this to An Post is where appropriate resolution should be sought in the form of a class action as individual actions will not yield any satisfactory outcome ... just sayin' like

Was supposed to be done before 1pm today, didn't happen as usual so I missed the Webinar. Time zones ....

The order is quite telling there ..... After you, BOS @BosKonay

Yes, it's correct for the model. Interesting because I had looked at many photos of them before and you don't always notice the lights. The assumption is that with 4 marker lights, they'd have 2 red and 2 white in each direction They had a single red as did the 141 and 071 when delivered (although they came with 2+1 light clusters, not 2+2). Unlike the 141, 181s and big Gms that followed the 121s were delivered with 2+2 clusters. Here's one being unboxed You can clearly see that three of the markers are white in 122s I think a lot of switching took place as needed to keep the close operative 130 with 3marker light ....and 130 with 1+3 prior to that. It may be possible that spare from 141/181 were available more readily as time elapsed that for the 121 as the 2+1 cluster seem to be more common later in several locos including 123, 124, 128, 130 132 and probably more Al that said, what was lit is a bit of a guess and needs to come definitively from someone closer to the railways the me, I se nor more than 2 white lights lit here

Some very interesting old stock on there A56 in silver, second coach appears to be an old GSR corridor composite? followed by a 4 wheel guards van with side lookout in the middle of the rake. A22, also at Cork Glanmire Road engine shed c. 1960

AT 2:40 on that video you can also see the zinc wagons introduced c. 1967 for the Silvermines-Foynes zinc ore traffic
