  1. Correct, HLV in green in Mayners This is the photo I had in mind (thanks, Ernie) but BOTH are luggage vans, one in silver and one in green. Luggage vans ('hooded vans') has a central pair of door whereas the HLV had TWO pairs of doors fore and aft of the centrally located boiler with exhaust vents on the roof of the HLV. This is best seen in Ernie's second photo where the third van from the loco on right is a HLV in green (double doors, exhaust barely visible because of the angle) followed by the silver LV next to the BnT. I believe the HLV still had capacity for 3T of luggage and were probably used year round even when heating was not required and can be seen in many photos taken in June/July. However as you say, may have to be taken in for maintenance before the autumn again.
  2. There is a photo in my mind of both a HLV and a hooded van with other stock. One is in silver (the HLV I think) and the luggage van in green. I thought it was Ernie's but I couldn't find. Anyway, the 1962 IRRS tour to Ardnacrusha has a green eau de nil lined luggage van (Rails through the West p12). John's photo above is of the HLV (nice photo)
  3. Good info GSV and thanks for the photo Wrenn. Any others photos?
  4. Complete
  5. I'm glad there is a fix. That's some of the worst wobbling I've seen in a while. I have 6 sitting somewhere but have have not had a chance to run them so fingers crossed. Otherwise, very nice cosmetically but running is a must
  6. Try PM to Leslie of Provincial wagons
  7. Are there any plans to produce 12 individual numbers in the orange bubbles?
  8. Hit 'Edit Post' then use the third icon form the right, then upload from a url or computer. Check the local upload checkbox so it is uploaded onto the IRM server and not stored on a 3rd party site that may restrict use in the future like PukeBucket did recently
  9. I'm sure you'll get to the root of all this after a thorough investigation
  10. Better now than when the layout is in it! That would be soul destroying.
  11. Good luck to all! We were hit hard by Hurricane Harvey, my in-laws in Tampa by Irma and now my parents by Ophelia all in one year! It's moving quickly and into colder waters so hope for the best
  12. Not sure. Apparently 6,400hp from the NIR 111s was certainly enough to damage a coupling. I'm sure it would depend on train weight also
  13. Have you considered that she wanted to buy this, needed to give you a motivation to approve the purchase and now you 'owe her one' as a result?
  14. You can also order them from the RPSI website
  15. I don't see the attachments although obviously others seem to
  16. Normally I'd say green would be a great alternative for you but given the relative rarity of the black and yellow, that has to be it. Most of the blacks had no panel and a red buffer beam, whereas others such as C211, C226 and re-engined B233 had a yellow panel/red bufferbeam. C203 has a YELLOW buffer beambeam in addition to the panel which was an very unusual look if you like to model some oddities
  17. It'll be worth the wait. Best K
  18. Just wondering on any updates?
  19. Interesting product for sale here, .... must need more cake http://www.ebay.com/itm/282667886688
  20. Thanks for posting that Noel. All sorts of interesting coaches on that clip. I wouldn't trust the color rendition entirely on the clip as you know. It is always frustrating to see this old color footage with such poor quality such was the technology of the time.
  21. The price is much stiffer at GBP295 plus P&P with a weakening dollar but ordered one nonetheless Doubt you can order on here unless Zivan happens by. Maybe a PM also? Noel, I'm surprised they accepted your order! I guess you're a OOworks convert now
  22. Joking aside, I'd be in the market for all of these including the six wheelers to run with ooworks j15 and JM designs 2-4-0. Probably can't take a thousand since ye're on your feet now. Pretty detailed quadcopter, Richie. Nice job!!
  23. This is a delightful resource so I hope that nobody will object to the occasional ping every five years or so...
  24. I though you had been in contact with Leslie. Suggest that you PM him, Tony
  25. According to Rebecca, they are doing the re built version, which has the single smoke box door, ...
