    My 'local' model shop, Dave, only 3 hours drive at 90mph+ on the I-10. It's not a brick and mortar as such ... Agree. He's the official US MM distributor if I recall. You can generally get what you want from there but at a premium. Cheaper to import even if you have to pay international shipping and customs, unless you can't find it of course

    and located in your neck on the woods too...

    I'm not sure who'd built one on commission at the moment or if its possible to put a chip in it

    This is a little cracker. It's VERY much on my list with the A1. Roll on September. SOooo glad you guys went all out and did all the liveries!!

    Little beauty!

    Interesting observation, I had not noticed that, although the original (single) red marker was on the outside of the white, and the reds seem to be mostly on the outside (when fitted in the usual position instead of auxiliaries) during the square incandescent PP era. There are photos of 124 with red square incandescents on the outside and vice versa in different photos at that time. I suppose it didn't as long as the wiring on the prototype was correct!

    You'll have to hang out with Mr Bracken. I'll be running mine regardless. Beauty! I agree but the MM models are little beauties in their own right and although new level of sophistication is present the A class, I'd much prefer to see a new model than a redo of the GMs Probably won't burn this one! I wish I had but still happy she's nearly here. Love the silver personally, roll on greens and blacks

    Steady on @jhb171achill, you might be a bit out of practice Wouldn't go for a whole beer, maybe just a 'half one'?

    Very valuable thread, learned a lot about grain, ....before I was mostly interested in grain products

    mee likee the foam, ......no more trying to maneuver it out if the styrofoam with a plastic wrap

    Yes, you're right but there was some variation, 3 original or 4 'original' style marker lights. If I recall there are photos of them delivered off the boat that way. I will say that I don't see a second red bulb just white Later, Original three, plus two extra reds during PP era 4 incandescent 4 LEDS

    That's a fantastic model and very few capable of achieving that quality. I imagine it must be very expensive to complete. I imagine that a model or a trio of 800 Class locos would walk off the shelves (if they ever even hit them )!
  13. DiveController
    It looks like there is a third set of lights as these are not the original set of three (or was it 4?) nor the newest set of 4 round LEDs. I think these are square incandescents that were prevalent in later 80s/90s ish? Maybe replacement for the failing originals?

    We discussed Ranks wagons before including the possible livery variations but it took me a little while to find the tread which i feel is worth reviewing
  15. DiveController
    OMG! This is fantastic. The grain wagons would be my top choice, all liveries. Very PC there, John @Mayner, with the 'winged wheel'. What's the time frame for the broken wheel grains? Did they retain red wheels or just the CAD 10567 is a little beauty. I would need a rake of these. Will there be more running numbers and is the cost per wagon or a set/pair? Don't worry, I'll do the survey. Great initiative. I hope earlier modelers support this like the original ballasts!

    Man, I thought you were living on the beach! Dez-rez an all that If that's all that's troubling the lads (something to pull stuff), there will be scope for many many things that silver thru black A class hauled
  17. DiveController
    Oh, please no! The AEC would suit everything 50s-80s Foresight is a wonderful thing, surprisingly uncommon, like sense!

    At Clara, presumably on a Dublin to Galway service by John Phillips on Flickr CBSCR to Bantry wasn't a quick trip either. @jhb171achill had the timetables on here at some point c. 2hours

    Lovely job with a bit of weathering on there

    Late to this thread but recognized that photo and thought it was from Flickr initially until I saw your post. Interesting that it is on eBay it is has been copyrighted to a publication...

    These threads don't serve any purpose and make this site look bad. IRM and every other retailer on here have sufficient wit to know what will sell and the economics of their business. I'm pretty sure they neither need to capitulate to any 'demands' nor need any proxy CFOs defending their business models.

    Is there away the vouchers can be loaded onto a payment card or paid into a balance on your account so you have that credit to use? Nice line of credit for the lads to get stock in and members like mphoey can set that money aside as able
  23. DiveController
    Personally, I'd probably prefer to see IRM produce something that his not available somewhere else, although a move to an earlier timeframe would also be welcomed
  24. DiveController
    Brown case, possibly not THE brown case?
  25. DiveController
    Question is, Dave, were you just browsing or you found nothing from a saved search?
