    Ah, a special group for special people

    Aiming at the collectors market ultimately - how many of these are bought and run continuously for more than a few mins......

    Aw god love you, you poor little chicken. 1 candle or 2?

    It's a competitive market ultimately, not everyone is friends and you need rivalry to make better models to higher standards. Notice Accurascale pushed on with the 37 after Bachmann quickly announced theirs and it will be available soon Anything IRM is mass produced to a standard. OO Works are small numbers and hand assembled in the UK, basically pre-assembled whitemetal kits, compared to mass assembled IRM items. The IRM model will be a lot easier to get a hold of, along with better running and warranty backup. True RTR and not a niche manufacturer

    They said the same about wagons and look what happened there
  6. Blaine
    Au contrare, an IRM J15 will look better and more importantly run better than the OO Works ones.

    On 121 grand a year to eat sambos, reply to 2 emails daily and read the paper, sounds like a grand job Anyway Irish Rail have loads of whistleblowers, they are called guards and train dispatchers....

    Seen it being done plenty of times tbh, the 3 small dioramas across from the IRM stand at the Dublin October show all had them, just ambient sounds for each one

    For The Sopranos fans in here.....

    Look for a Heljan one, they were shorter. As used on the MRSI Loughrea layout, suitably regauged to 21mm. 121's and J15's sit nicely on them

    Faster than the show!! Now bring on the moaners 'cant say you weren't told!!!'

    Split - there was also a table in the old York Road depot - not sure if it worked mind, and the triangle for the 'cross harbour link' would have been around then - just!

    Well you felt the need to point it out and share it here, you could have easily not done this, so by doing this you are funding him on youtube too

    FOMO?? They will be marked as seconds anyway like the ones were at Raheny. 'Caveat Emptor' if you are later buying them preowned
  16. Blaine
    Take it these are Worseley Works 'scratch aids' kits??
  17. Blaine
    HO theres loads of work needed, but for 00 / 21mm a bit less
  18. Blaine
    If you modelled the layout in 1/87 (HO) scale, EM is bang on for 1600mm / 5'3 gauge.

    They were attached to any loco that was to travel through the tunnel, or associated with Channel Tunnel trains, ie diesel locos bringing trains to the UK portal at Dollands Moor to hand over to 92's. This is why the EPS 37/6's had the cast Polos as they were intended to bring the Nightstar Channel Tunnel Sleepers as far as the portal, the Railfreight Distribution 'European' 47's had smaller painted on ones under the drivers side window, as they were bringing freight to the portal. The EPS 73's just got them to look cool I reckon, used mainly for Eurostar towing and recovery

    In short - no. Dont bite the hand. Just be thankful they are making these

    Yes, all dual control, 'left' side generally has the CAWS and Train Radio equipment, right side only used for shunting

    31st April 2023 please god,allah, jewish god, tom cruise, atheist spirit.......... Bit of patience maybe? He has only just announced them. If you had gone to the MRSI show last month you could have asked The Man in person and he would have told you
  24. Blaine
    Late Entry - MRSI St Davids MPD, probably at the back near the wagons
  25. Blaine
    Definitely controller, NCE Powercab / Roco Z21 the way to go. A wise investment for either unit
