Not only can our Stephanie score great goals, & she sure get's the attention, & rightly so, who need's the FIFA Ballon D'or anyway, we have our Stephanie, http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/stephanie-roche-denied-by-galáctico-james-as-ronaldo-reigns-supreme-again-1.2063517?page=1

Stephanie was robbed, without a doubt, not only did she control the ball, not once, but twice, all the while her back was to the goal, & still without the ball touching the ground, she turned on her toes & outsmarting her marker she put it in the back of the nett like a professional, Stephanie lifted the Country, austerity et all, for just enough time for us to think, maybe, but sure isn't Sett Blatter still around, enough said, PS Who's James Rodriguez anyway

As with all free minded persons of the free World, & especially to those in France who's lives were so cruely taken I would like to show my solidarity with freedom of speech, and support for all of the free Press Worldwide, & as for all you twisted, warped, fundamentalists & bigots, fanatics or whatever you call yourselves, & whatever / whenever you attempt to censor, silence, disrupt, or attempt to force people of the free World into your twisted, sad beliefs, then you are mistaken. The Pen is mightier than the sword, you will never silence the free press, in attempting to do so only guarantees one thing, you will go to the only place where you belong, & that is hell, the Hell for you & all of your kind, is a very special one, You will never silence the free press. This is but proof.

Kieran, pardon my ignorance in these matters, but why did you have to change the chassis, Fantastic piece of work btw.

May he rest in peace.

Hallelujah, robbie58 great news, there's hope yet, so I'll be hanging onto my Heljan Class 33 for another while, well done,

robbie58, well done so far,as said glad you have grabbed the bul by the horn, & got going, so noŵ I have a question for you, where do's this leave my Heljan Class 33, DCC ready !

Very sad days in Athy Co. Kildare, a result of the death of 4 young girls, the beginning of a new year & ending of young lives, totally tragic,

OH robbie58, if you don't know by now just how many are looking forward to this, you soon will, I for one will be watching your progress, any chance of some pics, keep us informed anyway,

I'm glad somebody was able to count them, I just gave up, fabulous,

Guys, thanks for all your imput, I'm by no means a perfectionist, I just enjoy having my loco's run even if they do look like a duck but are actually a horse, as long as the colour looks right, weathering helps them to look nearly right, & all parts tweaked to make them look somewhat like the real thing then I'm happy, I just wish I had the skills to do what's necessary, & which may be possible to make the class 33 look a bit more like the A class, utill then I'll run the class 33's painted, weathered, tweked just to keep me happy.

I thought this comes under Questions and Answers ??

OK, so if all of the above 7 results in a quality A Class, what would it take, how long would it take, what's the cost, who would be willing to take on such a challenge, if that's all that's involved, to have a quality A Class, then why not get started, I have a Class 55, bought appox. 3/4 yrs. ago, DCC on board, speaker, lights, crew, all wheel pick up, all wheel drive, ( I think ) must get it down & give it a run, & maybe compare it to what's going around today, it's collecting dust as we speak !! oh, forgot to mention, a class 37, or 47, not sure which, as I said, they've been gathering dust for some time now,

OK Lads, I know I'm a bit late with this one but, what's a quality A Class, with pics of course,

roxyguy, as everyone has said, enjoy the layout, after all, it's your laYout, & as I have already said, I don't have one yet, you are so far ahead of a number of us, is your layout DCC ? & if not will you be going down tha route,

Bloody hell Dave, don't you think you're been a bit optimistic, all the best anyway,

DiveControllor many thanks sure did

I don't have time to make models, & the best of luck to those with the skills who have, I just run models !

I just buy OO Gauge loco's & rolling stock with tension lock couplings, works fine

Bloody hell Paudie, you did mention something about a shed, you never said anything building a house for your layout
