More than one bonkers collection out there - I know of one with 37 141's, 12 181's, 18 071's, 3 111's, 32 201's, 2 208's, along with 55 Cravens and eventually 72 MK2D's. At least this collector feels no need to put a crap website online to show it all off with, that anyone would care of course
-
Yup, still stocking up on substandard material.

All that money and he cant afford a decent website

225 is little more than a rolling shell now on accommodation bogies, most useable parts including the fuel tank removed -

Belmond Hibernian - Luxury Touring Train
Blaine replied to Broithe's topic in What's happening on the network?
You obviously have not heard of the term 'Wealthy American Tourists'. At least on a train you get constant scenery and not sea and sky for half the journey. This train will sell out -
Test the brake fluid by rubbing a small bit of it with a cotton bud onto the model. Its been known to dissolve certain plastics.... Also take a sharp knife to the model to remove all the mould lines..
-
i dont care anymore
-
Ah, that old chestnut - Next!!!
-
I quite like that, and an easy shape to model. Could even be modelled and a mould made of it..........
-
All the progress made and Silver Fox continues to be stuck in reverse gear. Feed the gullible and line your pocket while your at it Dont forget how upset people are re some RTR coaches being the wrong colour etc. At least they were what they were were. They were not gristle dressed as steak

The ideal chance to create a proper replica of a D and its lost......
-
Did you read this bit on the ITG site? If your offered money for something thats going to sit and rot/get wrecked otherwise take it. Preservation involves a lot of realism, not just hopes and dreams

Sounds like he had bitten off way more than he could chew, the only company that has got better after a takeover is Shawplan
-
Can do a lot better, SSM being a good starting point
-
Where are you based, how much are you willing to pay and do you have kits/donor Mk3's
-
IE did want the RPSI out at one point but given the interconnector will not not happen there is no rush. The eventual plan is for a separate base. As a member of the Dublin carriage crew there is plenty to do
-
And what happens when their boiler tickets expire . No need for them all to be in service together. Dont forget the carriages too, thats where the revenue/passengers travel
-
Why couldn't you just ring instead of asking here?
-
Detonators are now kept in the cabs rather than the drivers having to carry them... was a freak accident sadly
-
Patience, just start with lines/borders 1st, get them right and then experiment
-
Stick (ahem) with the Tamiya, does not leave residue and if you gently apply it it wont bleed
-
Theres your problem - Never skimp on paint and prep - Tamiya masking tape all the way. Marks Models in Dublin sell it You dont necessarily have to remove the old paint. Get a can of Halfords plastic primer, give it a blast and see how it looks then. Failing that paint stripper or brake fluid. Always do a test run with a cotton bud first though, could dissolve the plastic
-
What brand of masking tape are you using and what base coat?
