Agree completely

No invoices, no playthings I suspect (as happened to me with container flats, however Marks Models is going get me sorted, phew)

I saw that and honestly it's not even worth posting this. Shame on Andy. Must be hoping to get some estate cash for Christmas 2020 (if he's lucky) Correct! it would apparently be shipped back to Coventry or somewhere and then shipped back to Ireland again. Insane!!

I think you'd want the lights to the rear but not in the direction of travel where the front plough is coupled to the loco. All seems correct unless i'm missing something? Not sure why it's posted here, maybe plough thread would be better?

Unfortunately no! In a nutshell it has been scrapped due to a 'lack of suitable space to do it justice' and the OO new 'Fry model Railway' is being constructed in the space available. I have to say that I like the new layout but agree that it is not like the old. As there are always several interested parties with vigorous opinions, so better to reread some of the previous thread and form your own I suspect.

Been getting my outstanding IRM invoices from Accurascale too. Since Accurascale is an entity that has to stand alone from IRM (and I have no particular interest in British outline whatsoever) I was wondering why we are seeing a merging to these 'separate' entities?

Also available on AbeBooks at the same price after conversion and free shipping to the USA!

While browsing through some of Jonathon Allen's photos I noticed some pigeon carriers at Lisburn. I know that rail was used to convey the birds to the starting location in GB but I was wondering how prevalent a practice this was in Ireland? Was it was confined to fanciers in NI or was this traffic carried by the GSR or by early CIE? https://www.flickr.com/photos/152343870@N07/38788790435/in/photolist-SLx6zf-iy2TBc-bYEe8G-oSwRY8-eejVB5-cc3gqj-PN2n8V-ee1gLn-eddXTi-edB6aL-e6hGxX-mNfk1z-edLsnP-faLz5h-Fk8xKw-dREQaM-6FJ6WT-226CG1T-hxbFZZ-7L1G2j-8g4PkM-pLn8L2-dsz7nN-2hE2sVU-9RB9pM-aLuB58-cwJuQY-bY5gML-bY5kTN-apx8yq-moRmF2-8pMCft-nAJ2Z6-7Vuqsb-83DDWB-RJS46i-9zjz3m-7i54P6-K3piHh-bY5S5E-BDgzfe-24wLgqr-bXZ9dN-d9iRqY-8bCWWT-amXKm5-bkDGZH-2fH22J9-2bMLWZb-cc8Le7/

Nice click bait! I'm thinking 'poor lad, maybe the curves are too tight etc. etc.' LOL Nice start!

Some nice layouts on there!

I think there must be deals on those pink containers every October

The last date for shipping parcels by An Post 'guaranteed' to USA by Dec 24th is December 6th

I just couldn't get 5 of pack J grey bubbles for a rake so I got two Pack I & 3 Pack J which should be a bit less obvious. Still a good deal though!

I was wondering why Pack I was not included, not much point in buying multiples of Pack J only?

Best to stick it in the sale/Wanted forum with a picture, and an asking price (per the rules)

I'm not sure there are definite prices in either location. There is the currency rate and postage to consider and who knows what's happening with Brits-Stalled and potential import taxes to those remaining in the EU??

I'm 'sure' that some of the cravens stock was not painted with the dual band and hung around for FO and MO services. There are several threads on cravens on the site, must take a look regarding dates and the validity of that assertion

I now you said you'd seen the stuff on Flickr but these are quite good albeit the box, tower are hidden at the other end Also a bit obscured in this view some time later and Eiretrains has several modern photos of the abandoned railway structures in this album http://eiretrains.com/Photo_Gallery/Railway Stations P/Palace East/IrishRailwayStations.html#PalaceEast_20060825_007_CC_JA.jpg

Honestly that's somewhat unsympathetic to many customers who have supported IRM loyally from the start and have missed out, although I do accept your point regarding preordering may have some validity. Had more been produced would we have had comment how they they hadn't sold as quickly as expected? I am pretty sure that the large orders will recirculate onto the market at a markup before Christmas 2020 though.

Eeek! this caught me unawares also. I got no indication that these were near sold out before delivery but I probably took my eye off the ball as so busy at work. I needed a couple of rakes of B&I and Bells and even the CIE containers. Bummer! (sorry)

I don't know why people get so bothered about something that sold for some price that seems excessive. This is usually posted over on the eBay Watch thread and I've no idea why people continue to post about things they would not buy on eBay usually ridiculing the person that did/might buy it in the process. I rarely see as many bargains highlighted, we won't go into why. Anyway, who knows why that purchaser agreed to the price; he/she needs one and it's worth having to him/her, won the lottery and price is no object, couldn't find the prototype on sale after his share price made new high, price wasn't excessive at all as pointed out already is speculating on the future price, Purchased for a commercial project, someone else paying the bill

Not familiar with the two yards there or what sort of crane you're after Any help? https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/24346083143/in/album-72157626756740602/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/39949363093/in/album-72157626756740602/

For some that 141 in BnT livery is the best up there and that Cravens (with the single thick white band) on the innermost curve would run perfectly behind her
