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?

The Euro shops do the kids fibre optic strands from time to time, even cheaper and battery operated......
-
How many times have you burnt yourself with the soldering iron?? No pain, no gain
-
Had a couple of ribs removed have we? I think the D part does all the work, your just along for the ride
-
My sources are from within the trade. Hattons no longer being a stockist is more to do with how they sell the product rather than the product itself
-
Hattons are no longer a Murphy Models stockist - that is all
-
Whats the problem with being honest then?? Cant say anything at all now without being hopped on by the do-gooders brigade
-
Im not being negative - Im being realistic.
-
Of those 555 how many will actually actively do something more than offer encouragement via social media
-
Not long to go now...
-
Dont think they realised how bad/unreadable it would be, 078,085 and 087 all have their old numbers applied on the sides/ends along with the gobbledegook/phone number.....
-
Least it only gets the UIC numbers on the ends, I miss the 'shadow' on the side numbers though, going back to GNRI days and especially with this particular loco
-
The carraige washer at Connolly/Ossory Road has not worked for years, the most external cleaning they will get is the front of the loco washed at Connolly shed. Its a very intense diagram too, in terms of train weight and the various climbs on the route in either direction - Lusk, Kellystown and Mountpleasant among others
