  1. I have a GNR UG 0-6-0 but alas it's unpowered.
  2. I'm wondering if DCC chips designed for N gauge locos might fit your 009 locos, JB? Gaugemaster also produced traditional DC controllers, which are very good. I have one somewhere - if I come across it I'll loan it to you so you can see what you think of it.
  3. Horrific incident with five dead and several injured. The tram driver has been arrested.
  4. I wonder if Faulhaber or Maxon motors have been considered? They're compact, powerful and smooth. Here's a Maxon in an old Lima class 31 chassis I have:
  5. Richie's crossed-off Downpatrick; the hunt for the Turfburner continues.
  6. They're not even in that pic, they're staggered...
  7. Indeed, but still better than being left exposed. The only real solution will be to house them, and to that end let's hope planning permission for the new building is approved and it progresses quickly.
  8. Looking forward to this... planning to head up with at least one other member the IRM team.
  9. I think the mantra for anyone heading down to Moyasta is "call in advance" as there's only a small band of volunteers keeping the place ticking over and they're not always there. From what I hear, a planning application has been submited for a shed/museum which will house the stock. The tarpaulin may obscure the view of the stock but it's a necessity, especially around that neck of the woods where the sea air would eat away at the metal in no time.
  10. Hi Bren, It's forum policy that all items offered for sale must include an asking price.
  11. Hi Bren, You'll need to include an asking price in order to advertise it for sale here.
  12. Cheers, John, it was a pleasure to meet you.
  13. Hi folks, we don't have any plans to produce beet wagons at the present time. I hope that puts the question to bed.
  14. Hi, JM. The special offer on the bubble rake is available for upfront payment only.
  15. I didn't realise you were branching out into energy bars, Dave! Are they scratchbuilt?
  16. Couldn't manage what practically everyone else has managed to do since the 1830s...
  17. Hi Railer, you're correct in your assumption. See you at the show!
  18. "Irish Rail has an 'absolute requirement' to warn its customers to mind gaps between trains and platforms when getting on and off trains, a Circuit Civil Court has said..." http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/irish-rail-has-must-warn-customers-to-mind-the-gap-court-says-35166170.html
  19. I'm guessing the sale may have no bearing on whether or not it'll be present at the show...
  20. Hi folks, just to let you know that IRM will be making an announcement tonight that should whet some appetites ahead of this weekend's show. Tune in around 9pm for more details. (This is in addition to the product announcement we'll be making at the show on Saturday)
  21. I seriously doubt it, unfortunately. Preservationists have a hard enough time securing funding for what they already have...
  22. +1. Oh to have one of Cusack's 4-4-0s around today for mainline runs, or even an E class tank for someplace like Downpatrick.
  23. Can't recall off the top my head if silver/green Intercity-liveried 201s worked Mk3 push-pull services but there was a three-year overlap so it's quite possible...
