  1. The Euro shops do the kids fibre optic strands from time to time, even cheaper and battery operated......
  2. How many times have you burnt yourself with the soldering iron?? No pain, no gain
  3. Had a couple of ribs removed have we? I think the D part does all the work, your just along for the ride
  4. 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
  5. Hattons are no longer a Murphy Models stockist - that is all
  6. Whats the problem with being honest then?? Cant say anything at all now without being hopped on by the do-gooders brigade
  7. Im not being negative - Im being realistic.
  8. Of those 555 how many will actually actively do something more than offer encouragement via social media
  9. Not long to go now...
  10. 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.....
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Expressing any kind of satisfaction with certain Silverfox products. Some are good others are awful. Why are people shouting,screaming and roaring over Murphys current batch of Mk2's when they seem to be happy with locos that just dont look right at all, and nothing to do with the shade of orange.... Similar principles with both companies, someone saw a gap in the marketplace and went for it......
  14. There have been plenty of other 'bogged down' conversations and these have been let run.....
  15. You should JB, Id love to know if Silverfox consult anyone with regards to their Irish stock, as a lot of it is terrible
  16. Thanks for the pointing that out, I was wondering where the differences lay
  17. Filmed under fluorescent lights along with compression, hardly judgeable. Also the loco is the one in repainted CIE orange rather than original. Decide when the models are infront of your own eyes....
  18. It is IFM, thats their name on ebay...
  19. Living in the past - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIMA-205159-IE-CIE-IRISH-RAILWAYS-CLASS-201-LOCO-216-RIVER-DODDER-MINT-BOXED-nc-/331422674305?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4d2a54ad81
  20. You already know what it is............
  21. How much money do you have, you might need to remortgage your house....
  22. Fine for wiring, not for brass!
  23. Had soldering irons and cutting disks a few weeks back..
  24. Indeed, we are not quite there yet, but give it a few years
