Not a fan of the new set up, much prefer the older version

I said that a few couple of a few years ago, & it’s changed again, and I’m not liking it, the phase “ if it’s not broken don’t try to fix it “ comes to mind, 

BTB

OK Then when did this come about..!  Unread replies.    Never noticed it before & what’s this colour!!!!
BTB

Well everyone, can / will someone please tell me what’s happening / happened to the web site, appearance has changed or is it my Specsavers that need changing..!

Quite honestly, I don't see the problem here. It's a railway line, stay the off of it, common sense, no matter how uncommon.

I think there is a attitudinal issue here .. in continental Europe people are used to this and stay out of the way, yet in other parts we have an issues with pedestrians, cyclists, motorists doing their damned best to get run over despite signs, bells, barriers, fences, that being the case, you're not going to stop them no matter how much you do.

Just clean up the mess and try to get back on schedule. I don't have a lot of sympathy for this degree of stupidity except where animals and children are involved, keep them at a distance, put brakes on your strollers (or your hands for that matter) and stop tying poor animals to the tracks at the top of the Glanmire tunnel!

Thank God we're in the letting off steam section , I suppose. I don't like a lot of the modern stuff but I do admire a well built efficient transit system, nice video Ernie

I WATCHED THAT AND WATCHED IT, AND WATCHED IT, BUT NOBODY WAS SQUASHED, MANGLED, REDUCED TO PULP,  OBLITERATED, TOTALLY WIPED OUT.!!!!

Got mine yesterday, & I’m very pleased with it, Long may they ( IRM ). last...!

On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."

The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"

And God saw it was good.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."

The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"

And God, again saw it was good.

On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."

The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"

And God agreed it was good.

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."

But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back,

the ten the monkey gave back,

and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves.

For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family.

For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.

And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information.

I'm doing it as a public service.

If you are looking for me I will be on the front porch...

Speak for yourself....

Hi guys, tell me am I missing something here, 

BTB

BTB

Hello Jasón my man, & having just looked over this tread from Oct 2015 to date, I have to say if I haven’t said this before, you’re expertise in railway modelling has taken the word “ modelling “ to a whole new level, your skills at making models, building models,, shaping these items & of course weathering these models has taking the modelling World to a whole new level, I can live with this if you live in my country...,   very well done sir,

BTB

Hi ya Dave, great photo, very clear, looks almost new..! So is it Irish, & is it C S or G S 

Paul

Hi guys & many thanks, so would something like this be out of place on an Irish layout, 

BTB

Hi guys, anyone got any photos of the coal wagons or suggestions as to where I’d get to see some of these that were used here by CIE
TIA

BTB

Noel, btw I have to complement you for those white lines, now tell me you didn’t spray them..! You got them done professionally, cause they sure look it, very well done,

Paul

Hi Noel, just wondering if you painted the inside of those window areas of that coach a bright white or silver would that make a difference. !  Just wondering, 

Paul

Very well done Sean, that’s modelling in every sense, & for what it’s worth, there’s a tip on here somewhere about spraying & removing masking tape, that says to use a Blow Gun or a Hairdryer...!!
BTB

Many thanks Noel,  but to demonstrate how ignorant I am regarding these “ Boards “ for want of a better word, or whatever they ar3, please tell me what WMRC stand for, & please say it has nothing to do with Women’s Rugby...!! I’m also wondering about Floorboards, ie pine or something like these that lie flat, is there something I’m missing about the these as well...

BTB

Hi guys, thought I’d ask this as I know it’s early for me giving the fact I don’t have a layout just yet but if I can as much information as possible that will help me in the long run, and the question i have is this, what wood, type of wood is best suited for baseboards, TIA

BTB

Hi guys, & thanks, now what’s the difference, if there is a difference between Peco all Nickel silver code 100  & Peco code 200 Wooden sleeper, TIA

Jeasus, lads, will someone position this photo correctly, I got a bit of a fright when I clicked on this,  & I’m innocent,for a minute there I thought I was going somewhere else....!

My order has been sent to IRM, well done to all,  happy days, very well done to all at IRM & R.P.S.I.

Hi guys & thanks for your suggestions, but I have to say I don’t think it’s a tamping machine, as if you close in on the left front I think I can just about make out the side windows of what I think is an A class.. ! 

Hi guys, so any Hawk Eye on here that knows what this item is, I don’t know if it’s a Loco or not, but would like to get some info on it, TIA

BTB

Hi guys, got this reply from Peco, which may help myself & those who are encountering hiccups or whatever about Track, Flexi, Code 75, 100, Points etc. etc,
