If they top and tail it, wouldn't that screw up the view from those nice observation coaches? Wonder if the observation cars are at both ends?

Not that easy in the middle of my workday, Richie. You've a better chance of watching Jimmy Kimmel live. I knew Waterford was gone at least in its original form, Tom. It's damn expensive to buy over here (we're all wealthy Yanks from the Belmond thread:rolleyes:) Very few iconic Irish companies left. I guess the Budweiser Clydesdales will be on Guiness next:((

Agreed. Can they use HEP in an emergency? Is any produced at Waterford anymore. I thought that after it went into receivership that most of the crystal is now made in Germany, Slovenia, Czech Rep etc. What happened to the original factory . It wasn't sold?

Why?

Paul, I was hoping to buy that but now everyone will want one at that bargain price! They're gone off the rails! (anyway, shouldn't we move this to the eBay thread?)

No problem in USA either. Usually I get not to see anything BBC for not paying my BBC license fee. Not logged into YouTube

You have more locos than most but if you could do your favorites first, say one a week you could get it done in in three years. The cost of chips is likely to come down. If sound becomes mainstream then the cost of 'basic' chips will also fall. Buying chips in bulk in Germany as suggested by Noel might help a little. One could probably not afford to get someone to do them for one so there would be a big time commitment.

PM sent, Richie.

I don't use this but is the spacing between tracks correct? If not it may be that they are not intended to be fitted directly to each other but with a small piece of joiner track that will set them up better with the lengths on the mainlines

yippee

I believe that Heirflick has an alibi:D

Speaking of New Irish Lines…….. November publication?

Still need one. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Or the sub in dry dock, jacked up to change a flat……….. (caterpillar drive, of course)

How were they used, Patrick? The sand would be required at the locomotives wheels for traction

Looks, great, Kieran. A very timely post. I was looking at mine yesterday and wondering how difficult a build it would be ..... as a first foray into brass. Any pearls will gladly received.

I think this is the number 2 cab end and intended to couple to the coaches. The grey end is the 'front'

When you're happily fishing and your boat suddenly changes direction any speed feels like a fast speed. The speed is not estimated in the article. Fortunately the Irish Sea is not that deep only a few hundred feet in most places. It looks like the sub was operating in the deeper channel on the west side which is still only about 400ft in that area. Hence he downward vector maybe a little less. If this was a Russian sub interested in NATO exercises it would have been running at tactical speed, (say) about 25 knots to avoid shallow water detection and it passive sonar array should be optimized to that speed. The array on the tower is usually a 360 array. If they detected a constant bearing/range surface sound, it more likely than not they'd bother to do anything about it. Unlikely to pop up and wave to satellite, I think. Lucky lads! I'm glad.

Noel has a lot of ballasting still to do on his track, so obviously he's thinking about purchasing one!

Isn't this one for Scots?

Good to know. One of the vendors you mention already emailed me to update me on the products that are available

There is definitely a market for several of these wagons. bubbles, various cements wagons, thing no longer available since MIR kits gone etc
