    Interesting, I may call them……

    Problem with the rails it's running on rather than the rolling stock, I think. Hard to have an appealing service when it's quicker to get there on the motorway … if you don't get a pressure sore on your buttock waiting to get there:D

    It's called the Woolworth principle, I think. they'll likely sell out first and Kernow maybe last (which is fine if you're looking for something that's almost sold out)

    The Independent article refers to a website http://www.trainsplanestoys.com but this doesn't link to a server and does't even appear to be under construction

    She's a lovely model, Sulzer! Also on my list (eventually). Glad you're happy with her. Sensible swap by model shop…...keep the customers happy. They don't have a website though…. they did, by all accounts on the web, but it's gone for at least a year

    Yes, I agree with you, Fran. Kernow usually has prices about Stg5-15 over the competition depending on whether it's a coach or loco. Definitely don't like the (lack of) a proper shipping quote at Rails, hence my previous comment. In the UK, my experience has been that Hattons site is very good and the staff are good when there's a problem (one coach received defective, returned, no quibbles, return postage refunded). Yes, I already worked that out, it's only a couple of euro per coach but if you're buying a rake….

    Why don't you PM Richie directly about this? I'm sure that this can be resolved easily which would be in everyone's best interest:) If it is resolved happily please post back on here also

    I do where at all possible give preference for my new purchases to Irish model shops. However, shipping always seem to be more from ROI retailers. I know that Hattons etc. must subsidize the shipping charges and write it off as an expense. Also websites that are set up to quote international shipping charges and quote and automatically deduct VAT for non-EEC orders are more user friendly to order from. Something to note in lean times:)

    Nice job!

    Pure Luck! Usually I'm still at work when you are all posting and everything in the For Sale is already gone! Unlike John Mayner, whose about 19 hours ahead of me where it's already Sunday in NZ. So, basically, he can buy anything on the site before it's even posted! Very nice work though:-bd Thanks, Richie!

    Richie, What era does the model cover? I might be interested in an RTR Kevin

    David, would love to see some photos at the post mortem.....

    It's cheaper at Rails https://railsofsheffield.com/search/search-results.aspx?searchTerm=murphy+models

    Hilarious thread =))=)) .......just don't let the serious modellers catch us wasting space on the server here
  17. DiveController
    Thanks for sharing that, Stephen! God Almighty, Richie, that's very impressive!

    I can't see the video:(( It "doesn't exist" and presumably has nodded off to sleep in Binaryland with a little bit of Nighty Nighty, Sleepy Snoozy-Snooz. Any suggestions?
  19. DiveController
    Appeal to her home economics. The garage extension will be cheaper than the divorce so you'd be saving money:rolleyes:
  20. DiveController
    Yes, it would be cheaper and maybe better to have some kids design it. Usually a couple of million wasted with this nonsense. I think both the retro white livery and the present livery still look great on Aer Lingus I think it is 'fresher' without it
  21. DiveController
    That's amazing! Found the shot of it in it's infancy….
  22. DiveController
    Nothing to go on then?
  23. DiveController
    Actually it's not black, it's more like a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, dark blue
