ok, Boss, I though it was already there just the 'link' was broken

I got several ot them today.... but could someone look at the resources link or whatever if possible.....

OK, understand your comments now..... maybe I'll start with a dozen... (not)

Wonder if it covers the various Mark2s which are still an enigma for me.........?

They're poor kits, difficult to assemble or just that it's part made?

PMs are not working still? That would certainly explain some (non)events. Could someone look at the resources section please while we 're at it. I can only see the first page then programming code on the subsequent pages Thank you

Of course technically you would need to call this in MPD1 as Nelson is using MPD2 below for multipurpose diesel:D

Just found an old thread on the lifting if the CBSCR. Very interesting details. Anyone know how I can find a search term in a thread that is nearly 100 pages long? I can only click on the thread not on the page(s) of the thread in which the searched term appears:dig:

Interesting. I, having had no particular idea in mind previously, have recently decided to try to do a layout based (loosely) on parts of the CB&SCR. I love some of the bridges on it crossing the River Bandon and the Chetwynd viaduct which I'll try to model at some point having no experience at scratch building. I'll look back through your lengthy thread but throw up a few pictures between builds if they're not on here. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3591-Old-photos-Chetwynd-Viaduct-Cork-Bandon-amp-South-Coast-Railway?highlight=Chetwynd

Can't wait to see the Taras and timbers:trains:

A minister who has no idea what's going on there something new:dig:

I know DCC concepts have a decoder with stay alive what were you planning to use I'm sure there are others.....

PM sent, Dave

No I did not mean to sound overly critical. The website is not the biggest issue in the world by far, the models are fantastic! I just did a headcount and realized I have 16 steam/ baby GM or 071s already. I'm looking forward to the supertrain coaches that are coming out They will go well with some of my baby GM's I think. There will be a long wait to receive them here in the US so I envy you guys seeing them at the shows!

I wondered about that too and thought a whole lot of you DCC buffs would be straight on this:confused: Whether the locos are running on DC or DCC it seems unlikely that any given power setting would run this many locomotives at exactly the same speed due to slight individual variations in the locomotives (I have a number of 141s that run at very slightly different speeds on any given circuit with one very slowly catching another, maybe I need to service them, I don't know). I'm thinking 9 locos would have to be run on DCC especially with this load and back EMF might assist maintaining a constant speed when the locos climb the gradient over the bridge and back down into the spiral but still not sure if all the locos would run at exactly the same speed to start for any given throttle setting when they first start. Would they have to be balanced by trial and error? Or are we just overthinking this?

Dave, do you have any photos of what these looked like and are they available from time to time? CIE & especially PT of interest Kevin

May I please ask what scale these are, minister?

Although I am so grateful to Paddy Murphy for these great RTR models, it is disappointing how poorly their website is updated which is an important part of the business. More surprising given the attention to detail on the models themselves. Operating as Apple does is probably not the optimal business model in in this setting

Good call! I'm with RiverSuir on that one. The problem with getting people to pay up front is that they want to see what's on offer before committing funds or have a say in what the product is going to be. With a large group only a few really have decision making input making many more people feelling they signed on for what they hoped was going to be something else. I would like to see more RTR steam but I think the A classs would have much wider appeal to a group and I would go for it (at least before I buy some RTR kits)

Thanks, Noel! Tedious but worth it and a great help to the rest of us. I think that based on the number of people that this will be useful to, now and going forward, it is worthy of a sticky

Nothing on RBM. I'll PM IRoshbloke 77. Didn't know he was a vendor. Thanks for the tip!!

Great continental shots. What's that huge black 'doughnut' on the end of 481?

Great Shots, Wanderer! Nice to see Killarney:-bd

SUPER video, GM171 KK! Nice to hear the sound of that 071 and lots of little things like water towers etc, to help me with layout modeling!
