  1. and another that is looking for a new venue!!
  2. And the Murphys one will be along soon, the one on adverts cant really be described as a 'model'
  3. of course not, they expect information to be handed to them even when its right in front of them. Donedeal or the recycling centre for these, less messing
  4. Love to know how this has already got to 2 pages - you have a better chance of seeing Concorde take to the skies again or a total cure being discovered for cancer
  5. Its the least of the rpsi's problems right now. Enough vanity projects clogging up the propaganda machine when theres holes the size of planets in the finances Anyway 'diesel locomotives' are the devils work according to the elders of the rpsi. They were never used to haul sunday school outings on the derry road
  6. Reminds me of the vodafone ad on the telly with the girl playing the violin - 'that was erm, wonderful'
  7. Definitely a guilty pleasure - have all the Oxford 113/143's - even the stobart ones, but these are for the workshop only....
  8. Date: October 26,27,28th 2024 (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) Opening Times: 11:00 to 17:00 each day Venue - Mount Temple Comprehensive School, Malahide Road, Clontarf, Dublin 3, D03 DX79 The Model Railway Society of Ireland are proud to announce their next bi-annual Dublin show - to be held in the All New Venue of Mount Temple School in Clontarf, except finally its All in One Hall, no more cramped corridors or crowded classrooms Lots more information to follow, and quite a few new layouts are expected to attend, many of which have not been seen in public before. This post will be edited as more information becomes available This show will see a return of the MRSI's Dundalk Works after some years off the show scene Lots more to be announced
  9. C44A for the first lot, you might see Paddy walking around on one of the days, thats it
  10. Gulp I C What you did there for sure, saw these last weekend in the flesh, they are truly divine
  11. Was the roof colour even visible under all the dirt??
  12. Will this be a portable layout??
  13. Typical internet, 1 person says its no good/best thing ever and its suddenly gospel. Up to the individual, don't be swayed
  14. Was no propelling on that tour, definitely no more past 1990 though
  15. This one? http://www.golfeurope.com/photo-galleries/lisselan-golf-club-west-cork-ireland-5263.htm Not forgetting https://www.velorail.ie/#home
  16. Dodge C38 was Spanish built, a few made it to the UK, but not here. Too much market opposition Plenty of Dodge Commandos and 100's here (UK Built) along with the smaller 50 series trucks back in the day, a few preserved Commandos and 100's too. Matchbox made them both in close to 1/76 scale, can be used for layouts
  17. Correct, plastic upper, diecast lower. Bit of careful masking will protect the door/rear cab badging too
  18. Blaine

    GPX Rail

    Was wondering where it was myself..... Yes, mainly as the trams were available off the shelf as standard gauge items
  19. Wont happen sadly, I'm happy I was on the last 'official' one - in 1996. The amount of trespassing that would occur now to get photos and videos , Irish Rail just wont have it
  20. Leave it on 4 axles - never notice when its ontrack that its missing 2 axles. Heljan mechanisms are excellent too, good runners
  21. Depends on the donor mechanism - either Hornby 110 or used to be a Lima 117 - or could be something else completely Long term solution would be to use a Replica Railways 57ft chassis
  22. Ordered both - making it easier now instead of piling up the projects
  23. Go - and get lunch at the Pot Belly Cafe right outside the door. Unreal burgers
  24. Have the same, but will be getting a cab swap as the Hino is too new for me. Need to lose the lid on the compactor too
