You cannot hurry excellence. Hopefully something will be seen at the MRSI show in October

Ring them, far easier, they have a call centre full of people, Ive ordered lots of stuff from them via email and webshop without a problem

So you turned up AFTER the show had opened to the public to set up? The organisers had requested that each exhibitor inform them when they would be arriving, either Friday evening or early Saturday morning, yet it appears you disregarded their instructions to be ready 10 minutes before the doors opened. Also why moan about it on here, after the show had ended? The organisers were on hand for the show and were happy and helpful for any issues to hand. This is one of Irelands biggest Model Railway events, not some small local church hall fundraiser I was one of the exhibitors in the same row as you and there were tables left for you on Friday evening. Maybe if you had arrived in good time and indicated that they were not suitable for your needs this could have been sorted out I gathered you assumed everything would be left for you - Never Assume.

Does that explain why you were not there on Sunday? Also did you inform the organisers that you would be setting up on Saturday morning and not Friday evening

Prototype Deltic Blue is another close match - https://www.phoenix-paints.co.uk/products/precisionrailway/nationalised/14p110

I think any second hand mag that passed through there was stamped on the cover. Also stamped a few pages in each mag. Early attempt at subliminal advertising

Roco or the Kato/Hobbytrain are ideal. Both need a little cosmetic surgery to resemble the Irish one. The HO difference is not a big one, given the size of the prototype and the Irish loading gauge etc

If Arran at C-Rail can be provided with livery diagrams/photos and colour codes he would be happy to produce them

Where did you hear about the proposed A Class model? It seems to have passed me and everyone else on this forum by

Dont forget at most of the UK shows there are businesses making baseboards etc. The size of the market in the UK allows this. Your in the sea now with the sharks. Offer something that they dont have and be able to sell it to them

I seem to have missed this announcement??

Best to write them a letter of complaint, or use their 'inter-net' cyberspace position - AOL Keyword: RPSISTEAMTRAINSINIRELAND

Well at least I said it in one sentence instead of justifying it over 7 Rich. Then again Im no know it all and never claim to be

Perfectly summarised, its interest and population more than anything else. The MRSI's Loughrea 21mm layout is stored idle given the lack of interest in it. Most members are happy to run their Irish stock on 16.5mm track. Not everyone feels to the need to run to an authentic gauge and this needs to be remembered too. Code 75/82 track and correct sleeper spacing makes a big difference to set-track also

As soon as the bar is raised, it gets dropped just as fast. Proves there is still a market for this

Will deposits be taken??

Not anymore, GM sold their European Division to PSA who comprise of Citroen and Peugeot. Also GM Electro-Motive Division is now owned by Progress Rail, whose parent company is Caterpillar

If you build them properly and braced etc to avoid sagging either size is good Regarding height, I'm a great believer in having them at 'eye level', but being 6'4 its not something I often get to experience. The closer to eye level the better as you don't look at real trains from a helicopter or cherry picker....
