Will wait until Ive handled one in person before I get in any way excited. Not impressed with what Ive seen before from him
-
Take the motor out......... Most analogue transformers will handle 2 motors on the same track easily anyway
-
071's are simpler, less prone to break down, cheaper to run and lighter
-
Billed as a diecast show so Id expect nothing else. Hapes of farm dioramas too no doubt

175 is the 3rd 141 class loco to be acquired by the RPSI. All 4 small GM's are intended for mainline use eventually, but the core market is still for mammy and daddy who want a steam loco on the front of their train. Tough, but reality. Gotta maintain an income. Diesel enthusiasts do nothing but whinge and their support alone is not enough to support the RPSI

I wonder will 230 be changed to 206 given 230 is now with a good chance of being withdrawn. Sure nothing 10 mins and some Railtec transfers wont sort
-
Wouldnt be the 1st dodgy MM chip Ive seen. Also the 3-4 function chip is better for the 141's as the lights (head/marker lights) are on the same circuit, on the 071's they are separate. As regards body removal - RTFM

The person who started the thread has been banned from this forum, so a reply may not be forthcoming

I would doubt many of those were acquired by legal means

'Him' again zzzzzzzzzzz

Yup - purple monkey dishwasher. 10 days is my record for a spurious rumour that I deliberately started to return back to me with a extra bit tacked on

Believe it when it happens........

The model on this thread looks far better than the MIR kit ever will.....
-
Yup, best you can get, blows everything else away, locally produced or not.......

Pass me a bucket....

Class 59 - A brief look at the different types
Blaine replied to Warbonnet's topic in British Outline Modelling
I have, classic case of 'no matter how good you are, there is always someone even better'. A lot of patience for the lines under the chassis alone, never mind the rest -
Class 59 - A brief look at the different types
Blaine replied to Warbonnet's topic in British Outline Modelling
Ive a Bachmann 66 chassis along with a spare Lima 59 chassis, so some spare time will prove useful -
Class 59 - A brief look at the different types
Blaine replied to Warbonnet's topic in British Outline Modelling
Will always be a few projected designs, one of the BR class 60 design studies featured a French style Arzens raked back windscreen. The 59 design also has ribs in the bodysides to match wagons which Yeoman had when the locos were introduced but which didnt last long. The ribs stayed with the 59/1's and /2's and also gained by the 66 in all its variants.... -
Just a memory - Phibsboro Modellers Shop
Blaine replied to Sulzer201's question in Questions & Answers
I remember that, was also a post office there too. Always remeber a layout there with a bit plastic dome/bubble on top with some of the Lima push buttons that made the trains run -
Where was it said about staying on topic? Your profession has gone to you head.........

Blaine replied to Sulzer201's question in Questions & Answers
The shop closed around 1992 but the Leinster Models side of the business lasted a little longer -
Depends how fake you like your fakes

Blaine replied to steventrain's topic in What's On?
It was nice for sure, but logistically a right pain
