No not opening here

Noel, that's great, even though I don't have a layout yet I'll be looking forward to your trials. & yes I really do like my Loco, even if it's only sitting on the dining room table, btw, I love the light dusting on your A Class, it looks mega Paul

Ah Dive, did you have to, really have to say that, I was hoping nobody would say it living in hope

Hi irishthump, whatever I have to do to get this loco running fast or slow, the one thing I will definitely not have to do is add weight, of any kind as Noel will I'm sure confirm Paul

I Hi DC did the link not open for you, I don't know how to upload photo's onto this site yet,

Like Noel said, if something's that good, then it's worth waiting for, so what's another year or 3 or 4, I'll wait

Hi Alan haven't thought of any of those just yet, I don'nt know anything about cv's or decodes, but when I do get to fitting it with a decoder I'll be asking around here, nearly forgot, it is DCC readyi if that makes any difference

Thanks Noel, just as it was on SF website, I didn't go for any "frills " I just wanted to get one & it was a Xmas present to boot Paul

Only collected this on Friday, haven't had chance yet to run it, I'm not sure this link will work, so here go's one thing for sure is the weight, holy **** is it heavy https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/s/?view=att&th=14b5c2dd3b2a6ece&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=1492313094570901504-local0&safe=1&zw

Robbie, very well done, great bit of work you have done so far, looking forward to further pics & info on your plans for this class 33, keep the pics coming

Noel, you're already getting my hope's up

P Mayer, many thanks for that very informative explanation, & maybe MM will come good

Imagine sitting, ( hypothetically speaking of course ) in the centre of the track with that thing comes hurtling out of the night, even the sight of it would scare the U NO WHAT outa ya,

Noel, was this formerly a BR / USA, looks big enough for USA, what's the story as to where it came from, is there any similar BR / USA shunters around, thanks in advance,

I hope this works cause I would like to know a bit more about it

Well done robbie58, I do like your thinking of "modifying RTR stock to my liking ", my kind of thinking also, do keep the pics coming & maybe a video of your layout plans

job171achill thanks for posting those, regarding the pic of the grain wagons, I seem to recall someone on here asking about similar photo's of wagons some time ago, whoever it was didn't know what they were

Go ahead roxyguy & reprint it, what's the worst that the outcome would be, as everyone on here know's I'm all for rtr, & the more the better, for me if look's anything like the prototype, then for me it'll do, despite the fact that we have some really fantastic rtr MM models, they are in a very small number, & don't mention the elephant in the room, there was talk on another tread about the "H" van & others which is just another indication of what could be done,

Hey guys, get down to Lidl this Thursday, http://www.lidl.ie/en/Offers.htm?id=397

Eamon dare I say a "smashing job" only joking, bet your heart missed a beat, very nice piece of work

Here's little bargin for someone, http://www.ebay.ie/itm/271736816443?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Tell the truth, you put that on there yourself, blaming the Italian's is'nt fair.

I don't go with any kind of hero worship where PM is concerned, yes I'm very happy with models he has producted in the past, but take note, Fact no. 1 PM is a business man, he went into business producing something we, by coincidience have a great love of, Fact no. 2 As a businessman he makes profit, Fact no. 3 it was the customer who pointed out the mistakes / errors in the recent product, ( I have not heard of any comment / statement made by PM with regards this issues ). Now as I understand it with regard to consumer rights if you buy something & it's not what you paid for, you have the right in the first instance to a refund, or replacement, failing that you have the right to have the fault repaired. Yes PM has made us very happy with previous items of our interest, I wait to see what PM suggests what can be done to rectify these issues.

Now isn't that a rare one !! One for the collector !!!!
