Hi Noel & thanks, yes I agree to go to that EJ trouble is worth it in the end, if you want to go that far, but I’m not looking for a professional display, but something that looks the business is what I’m looking for, so if I can buy Peco Streamline Code 75 Flexitrack, Nicole Silver with points & crossings, well that’ll do me, & I forgot to mention I’ll be running relatively new stock as at this minute the older items I have are UK & I’ll be selling any/all of that & I’ll be concentrating on Irish, with only the occasional run of something UK, I only started buying stock in or around 2004, ( would that be OLD STOCK ) but there maybe some rolling stock that might need sorting out..!!!

Hi guys & many thanks for all your help & suggestions, so tell me this, is Peco Code 75 Streamline & Flexitrack one & the same, as I’m thinking of using Peco Code 75 & has anyone seen what Everard Junction did by snipping the sleepers & spacing them to make the track appear more realistic..! It’s a long process but the end makes a difference,

Hi guys, don’t know if this is of any benefit here, but have a look at these models, there 1/50 scale, I think, might be of benefit,here’s a photo of one of the models & a link, I hadn’t heard of these before,

Hi guys & thanks, I’ve already wondered about Code 75 & 100 Bullhead, simply because I don’t understand the difference, with the +’s & -‘s & associated with each type, I also don’t know exactly what’s the best when it’s Wooden sleeper, ( does that type of sleeper make any difference ) also the type of electric points to use where you use Flexitrack, ( I’m beginning to get scared already....) In a nutshell, can you use Code 75 Flexitrack Bullhead with wooden sleepers..! just to get me started,

Hi guys, while I don’t as yet have a layout, I’m wondering about the choice of track that would be best suited to my plans. I would much prefer from what I know, ( which is not a lot when it comes to laying track,) that Peco code 75, wooden sleeper would be the best for me..! I don’t know if this track actually exists..! I’m hoping to plan my layout for the late ‘40’s to about late 90’s ! Any help / suggestions would be much appreciated, TIA

@burnthebox. I think you should have posted the picture of your new Class 071 in the "Where to get a bargain" thread. It is totally unrelated to the current subject matter which is about another one of IRM's brilliant productions.
Hi connellystn and thanks, while I do understand what you’re saying regarding the 071, the only reason I put it on here is because I was just wanted to show what I had got over the past few weeks in total so far...!!! as to putting it in “ Where to get a Bargin “ on IRM, I’m sorry but I don’t know where that is on IRM...!

Just to show I’m not prejudice, I’ll buy from anyone, where I feel I’ll get a bargain, which has included Spain, I got this, this morning at 11am, having bought it on Monday night on the bay at appox 9pm, so that was quick, to say the least, now with my stock from IRM, & MM & Marks Models & Ebay, I’m a very happy bunny....!

I to would like to express my thanks to the guys in IRM as I received my bundle of Guinness Kegs on Monday last, & although I haven’t as yet been able to physically hold the wagons I have no doubt of their perfection judging by the detail on my sets of Tara Wagons, Cement Bubbles & my Ballast Plough vans, & I am really looking forward to getting my paws on my 121

Hi Fran, I thought those models are the bees knees of the model railway World, or something like that, & that’s why they’re that bit more expensive....!!

Hi Noel, I didn’t know anything about IRM / AS doing anything like this, & that’s down to the fact I don’t pay any attention to UK stuff, I just thought someone on here who’s got a UK layout might be interested..! There ya go, you learn something new every day,
