The six wheelers look like a right beast!

Had the same problem with Dapol. Got stung for lots of VAT and import duties. Should have gone to German sites.

Great choice of loco. Couldn't decide so ordered all three!

To be honest lads, we're all very proud of what you have achieved, both in Ireland and the UK. I for one, have told people how you developed Irish models for a non-existent Irish model market! And good excuse to convince herself that I need more IRM models - 'sure the lads need my support!'

That's so good to hear. My parents took me to Youghal in the early 70's, when I was about 5. Vague recollection of the train. But at least I can still say I got the train to Youghal!

So if I put my hand out at the 'halt' the train will stop? When I took the Kyle of Lochalsh line in Scotland, that was the case!

Such a shame. There are many students commuting by bus every day from Castlemartyr, Killeagh and Youghal. The greenway isn't much use to them. The traffic volumes and delays at the Dunkettle interchange haven't improved either. If that vote had been a couple of years later, it would never had been for a greenway.

In 2019, Cork County councillors voted unanimously to convert the line to a greenway.

Still can't believe that people voted for a greenway from Youghal! What a missed opportunity.

Trains, Boats and Planes, Princes Street, Cork. Amazing shop in the 1970's. Had full model railway layout upstairs. So good, that the Frank and Walters named an album after it! I used to love going their on a Sat. Couldn't afford anything but at least I could look.

Look so odd as Bo-Bo's

And I would second that!

Thanks Past-Avenue, the barrier tankers and NEM pockets arrived today. All well packaged and looking great. Delighted with the NEM pockets and barrier tankers look the part. Thanks again!

Got the Jinty today from Marks. Always great to go to a model shop. Interestingly Herself went to a charity shop around the corner while I did the business. She did note down a conversation between a couple in their 30's where he wanted to go to Marks while she went to the charity shop! Always good to support Marks as I'm paranoid that they will go without us. Would IRM support them a bit more? No Mk2A's there. Surely we need to have people like Marks to encourage the younger generations, won't that benefit IRM and the hobby in the end?

So how easy is it to remove the D coupling and replace it with an NEM pocket?
