  1. Beautiful pictures. 112 had it original marker lights and blue cab windows in those. Sad to see the Hunslets in such a dilapidated state, the warning chevrons on opposite ends of 102 look to be two different colors due to weathering! Interesting to see the long NIR trains with generator vans on both ends. Incidentally, did NIR gennies have a single generator per van?
  2. Great information, Noel!
  3. nothing changes ..... but they've 'expressed regret' (PCBS) and are reviewing their procedures (the ones reviewed the last time it happened)
  4. "You've kept us waiting 700 years. You can have your seven minutes"
  5. A ping is as good as a bump, and it is October
  6. Very nice looking model!
  7. The Chinese need to get a move on since we're using the Gregorian and not the lunar calendar over here. 2016 ends in December not in February
  8. Failed 8113? Unusual to see a consist of 111s
  9. Different companies, greater distances, larger populations, more densely populated urban centers, larger loading gauge, etc etc but if you have 7-8 minutes to peek at the start of this video, it's interesting to see this freight yard in operation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhp3TdeLvdM
  10. Does this help? http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1366-CIE-locomotive-livery-variations-1960-1990 or this? http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/content.php/368-CIE-to-Iarnrod-Eireann-Timeline
  11. Yes. Shame though. They look decent in that livery
  12. I think that may have been said in jest. The lol kinda gives it away(lol) Or maybe it was the 300 second delay between posts which is an annoyance
  13. Garfield's right. It used to happen with even more alarming frequency, for instance in North Cork city on the approach to the Glanmire tunnel. At one point the anarchists tied a poor donkey to the line! Firing lasers at cockpits is more frequent than you might imagine also:facepalm:
  14. I'd prefer the model to be correct of course, but that's disappointing. I guess I won't be picking mine up at the show after all
  15. I like that. Nice job!
  16. Interesting history of the Yamato
  17. Leslie, I would like some, a rake. ANy rtr? Take the rest as kits. I'll be at Raheny, yes!
  18. of course!
  19. Nice reference shot, Noel. Would be interested in some in the orange livery with light weathering like these shots. I always wondered how the ivory fell into such decrepit condition. I don't really like the ivory that weathered. My railway, my cement bubble wash, (sorry), on an occasional basis being are they are so loved by so many
  20. Jeepers, that's nice for less than a Craven. I still need a rake of Supertrain Mk3s, so in the absence of an Irish prototypical model, they'd still be a nice respray.....
  21. Well, that's 10, maybe 12. Seems we need an absent drawing
  22. Makes the BATV look like an iPad
  23. Great information, John. Like the recessed doors on these vans which may be ones that opened inwards as you say. Thanks for the updates and looking forward to seeing the 6w vans from yourself.
