    Put me down for three.... The kit looks great but too complex for me having never done brass. The cost of someone doing it for me was multiples of the cost of the item, again since there's probably a fair amount of work involved. Beautiful when she's done though

    Yes, these would all sell in large numbers if they were produced rtr at any reasonable cost

    Understood. Thanks very much:tumbsup: Actually I have a number of the grey Dapol wagons with snails and some of the old Lima and Hornby CIE broken wheel wagons. Not sure how prototypical they are of anything. Trip to the resource section needed I think:)

    And this is in your living room, did you say?....... Very impressive indeed:-bd

    DiveController replied to Jawfin's question in Questions & Answers

    Is that basically more than a new similar sized wagon if there was one? Big chunk of change

    JHB, what's a H van? Heard it used many times on here but not sure exactly what distinguishes it..........

    That looks great:tumbsup: One of the lads did a photo album of one of a signal box before for me…. may have to give these serious thought when I need to fill in 'green belts' on the layout

    Looks like the same accommodations being made then, like for the A380 now due to the height

    Fran, we were not having a political discussion. My post clearly relates to the Tu-95 in the link which is what we were discussing on this thread.

    MOD: I just realized that I duplicated this with a second request two weeks ago. Please feel free to lock the other thread if required. Sorry. K

    Products acquired. Thanks to all who PM'd.

    Don't envy you this one, Tom but suspect I will when it's done:D

    Correct, the -100 and -200 series did not, including those noisy -200 that Ryanair had. Some of the later models like the -300,-400, -500 didn't have them either but they are available now as a retrofit for most models still flying

    It's true, Noel, Ardnacrusha is a good example of achievement although at that time the electric footprint for a predominantly non-industrialized small nation with disseminated rural dwellings would have been comparatively small. It would have been a great foundation for energy independence had similar projects continued but we seem to have slipped a little on the way with partisan leadership or lack thereof. Can you imagine diverting that much of GDP to a national rail project about 15 years ago for proper passenger and freight transportation? Opportunities missed:(

    So why did it flop? Know anything about the Air Suspension system mentioned?

    Indeed, Stephen…… they'll beat my 141s in a sprint any day

    The Ryanair model is nice but unfortunately the wrong scale for me. It is a -200 series with a conventional wing and the prototype could be retrofitted with a mini-winglet for improved aerodynamics/lift http://www.b737.org.uk/images/737-200winglets.jpg Your shot is the current blended winglet common on most Boeings and some Airbuses like the A330/A340 The scimitar split winglet is about to become commonplace on all new orders http://www.b737.org.uk/images/winglet-splitscimitar.jpg

    If the STs don't sell, there will be no A class and I reckon you're in! Like the video, smiling away here:tumbsup:

    There are two EGVs with different numbers?
  20. DiveController
    Not to belabor the point but yes…. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/11763930.Russian_bomber_intercepted_by_fighter_jets_off_Southampton_was_carrying_nuclear_weapons/?ref=rss

    Yep, already experienced this when a site member would recommend a TV program only to find it restricted by IP address:mad:

    Good evening jhb. Hope you're doing ok. Just stoking the coals! Been looking forward to the ST MM coaches and been desperately trying to stay off the other thread. Not easy to get anything resprayed this side of the Atlantic not to mention the additional expense! Maybe sit this one out for now. Kevin

    Do you happen to know if this is a region free DVD (i.e. will play in devices in N America)? And likely to be PAL rather than NTSC…..
  24. DiveController
    Just add it to the list of unrealized projects then and a century after independence

    186 is now finally retired to display?
