    I watched your layout progress and it looks excellent. I realized that ultimately you might consider the functionality might be somewhat restricted. I think the circular layout looks ok (not great) in TT or N or whatever that is but might be much more restricted in OO. The optics are the same no matter where you view it from, ... circular. Maybe something modular that you could disassemble if necessary, maybe multilevel (or at least not completely flat to increase interest and operability in a tight space? Any way to get 10 x 6' at countertop level maybe with a liftoff section for access? Excellent scenics on your layout

    Well, of there was a way to export like Hattons is about to do that would certainly be something I'd consider

    Language can be changes to english by hitting the world globe symbol near the top

    If you missed out on the rush, Marks Models still have some IRM IR Plough Vans https://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=34697

    Me likee but I'm still co-building Hogwarts with my junior partner! Do it resemble anything Irish, Kilkenny or the West?

    I'm sure someone on the site could produce a sheet of these and maybe some related liveries on a sheet. One of the bus enthusiasts like @GSI345 might know Railtec might do it idk

    Existing tooling, so yes for that reason i would think

    Mad(e) (too many) purchases today but would have liked to see some coaching stock for the As and 121s as a 5th year offering tbh

    Sounds like they need a go fund me page?
  10. DiveController
    Yes, that's understandable.

    Gypsums first for me I think. Has there been any change to the chassis allow easier conversion to 21mm? The first set of ballasts needed to have the inner aspect of the axle boxes filed away to make enough room for new wheel sets with the original tooling

    It's a part easily lost so smart to have a few spares. There are two running around in one of my boxes but I don't know if they're the spares or from the wagons
  13. DiveController
    And only a 20' container at that

    Unfortunately in traditional Brexit fashion it is 'currently ' only available to audiences in the UK

    Fantastic they'll have the AEC railcars to top and tail those laminates then too @ArranOriginal 20ft B&I and some CIE insulated if you can find any decent pictures, And the Guinness and Harp Tanktainers but sure, throw in the Asahi to keep the lads happy, (I'll take a rake too) nag nag nag Now about that 20" early wagon ...

    A run of standards by Marks even without generator would probably satisfy most people and might even bring some generator 'extras' back onto the secondary market but the thought that Bachmann may not do the commission is disappointing. @DJ Dangerous I have some things (not quite my era) in support of IRM; ballast wagons, IR and IE ploughs, weedsprayer set and two turn of the millennium Rail Link buses though I'd prefer to some oldies from CIE days

    That's the same video posted on the thread by NIR on Aug 17 but no harm seeing it again. Lots of great prototypical coaching stock on there, 1950s built CIE coaches that lasted thro' BnT livery to the 1980s, Park royals, 4w Luggage vans etc. I have looked for and not found any additional photos or video of the Amiens street turntable using vacuum (or any additional turntables for that matter). Most photos I have seen, seem to have the device removed in favor of a release lever to be powered around manually. Apart from the 121s, the end of steam and introduction of double cabbed diesels probably meant that the device was not maintained or replaced

    @DJ Dangerous Kinda like Noel having a flippin’ MkIV rake, I must have had a extra bottle of wine that morning with my toast. Truth is that over time my interest has expanded to an earlier modeling timeframe but I still have full set of 141/181s and most 071s including the IE livery
  19. DiveController
    Should have been sold as the twin pack and twin of standard IMO, much better ratio to prototypical rake. You'll likely pay dearly for this on the 'Bay unless you purchase privately without all the fees, shipping, tax, tax on shipping, Global shipping, etc
  20. DiveController
    It is an interesting that there is pretty much one way traffic on shipping containers that are manufactured in China, ship goods to Europe and the US and then are not shipped back in sufficient quantities.

    Anyone seen the cover of IRRS journal October 2020 #203 with a liner train full of old B&I 20Ft containers and an article?

    LMAO You can hear him accelerate to gun the red light. Literacy might be a problem for him too. The guy turning right decided to take another route with less debris. Only comment would be to have the I-beam much further from the under bridge in suitable locations (not here), may 200 feet. We've see seen a lot artics/big rigs pass quite a long distance under the bridge before coming to the halt if the clearance is marginal and the trail deformable. Better to hit an I-beam than the the bridge. Agree with @Broithe probably better place on a section of straight road before the bridge itself. A buttressing bar behind the I-beam on each side will add considerably to the strength
  23. DiveController
    There are over 3000 bridges with over 400 under bridges being less than 16'6" and at risk for excess strikes. Maybe he has shares in a company with a tender in to do the work on the additional 2600 under bridges ?
  24. DiveController
    ..... or horses that are far away?
  25. DiveController
    I don't know for sure but I suspect that a 9'6" high cube might need a lowered floor such as a pocket wagon to stay within the Irish loading gauge
