    Nice video, John! Looks like the inspiration for the scene on The Polar Express!

    I don't have your decoder but I have a Lenz Digital Plus Silver 21+ in an 071 (I think). CV 27 is not even mentioned in my manual but most ABC control is controlled by CV51. Does changing CV 51 Bit3 (2) have any effect in resolving it?

    Some lovely shots were, John!

    You mean the left hand side? :ROFL: Watch hat jet lag!

    The window arrangement is odd and I'd bet the two sets of double windows evenly spaced from the ends are in double doors with a few additional single windows maybe also in doors. I guessing maybe a full brake/parcels or TPO? This would have been on the Dublin-London mail route I presume?

    Nice! looking forward to this, good luck!

    Some nice shots there, John. Bridge, roundhouse & trestle bridge very impressive. Love the Rockies!

    True, but hopefully common tooling will allow these to be reasonably priced going forward, or at least that's how I understood it. Have to agree with Noel that the Heljans are not that cheap considered the projected market. The relative strength of the dollar may be a factor as I understand the USD is the trade currency with the Chinese (assuming that's where production occurs)

    Was the color of the fitted vans on Great Northern different, maybe a little redder than the CIE bauxite? Looks good either way !

    Very nice little rake, Kieran. I wasn't aware that the GN covered wagons were turned out in crimson/bauxite, which make a refreshing change, with a couple of different shades of grey to finish it off. Looks really nice!

    This is in a more weathered condition that on 186 but I would have to say this is 'silver' on 122, also for however long it lasted In fact, 186 may have set a trend for a short while, here's 181 & 182 together

    Some beautiful laminate stock on this one. Great to see A9 in black. Thanks for posting, Stephen!!

    Lovely shot of the Bell containers posted by RedRich here with maroon, blue and whiter roofs, the last being in the minority in the 80s, albeit they may be in commoner use on more modern containers http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2125-The-Eighties?highlight=eighties

    Thanks, David. That makes a lot more sense. Why then would you need a mule at all rather than just attaching the cable to the wagons? Or was that it, there was no attachment or detachment of the cable, just shunt the mule back with the next set of empty wagons? The winch would have to be recessed beneath the trackbed, I presume?

    Is it on the same chassis?
  19. DiveController
    Maybe they'll put them in Black & Tan which would also look well and compliment the existing slate grey or any remaining Black & Silver

    One from one of our site members showing the mule in action in better times I presume it was battery powered? And it must have been solid metal to cope with the weight of the filled wagons I think I have seen something similar being used for loading, maybe bulk cement? Waterford seems to be popping into my brain for some reason. Will try to look when I get home tonight....

    Wow! Thirty already. Happy Birthday:D

    I presume this is on bearings or some sort of ultra low friction below the layout. Circular contacts under the layout for power transmission? Any photos. Very novel! I like it

    Maybe a mod could move the last few posts across to Eamonn's workbench?

    Another modeling opportunity for those so inclined and who run modern/preserved models. Obviously the loco has the modern LED marker lights, what is probably the modern shade of IE orange, no grab irons on the front of the cabs, the newer handbrake wheel and of course the flying snail is back!
