lol nobody guessed that. Probabaly not for me, although im sure this just about confirms beet doubles in the very near future, of which i will buy many and of course the inevitable flat version of the chassis too. then again by the time they are out i will probabaly have impulse bought a load anyway LOL

Youll have to go and find out DJ

that was only cos they forgot about the bus.

who buys wedges from mcdonalds??? really now??

ah here

only 18 more minutes until people can wibble about it not being what they expected.

wont be long now

Riveting stuff

not me anyway They are also selling a used switch for more than the price of a guarenteed one from cex? lol

On a more serious note,I see CIE Grey(or an engineering sample), and its a whole new range, so some sort of steam is highly possible. however i also see a black buffer beam and a little hump on top so it could just as easily be some sort of 4w tank car at an unflattering angle. ALSO Were we not promised some sort of elusive foot bridge way back when? squint or youll miss it

thats literally only a photo of half an item, that or its the detailing pack from said item or somthing silly like that

Enhance.

Are we there yet? I am officially excited now.

Looks like I laid some of that track......

A great addition to the upcoming RPSI set for generator car duties, Picked one up around a month ago for that reason.

Get yourself onto addresspal, its the only way to deal with these clowns, it GBP2.85 if hes sending it to a uk address and then 6.50 to addresspal compared to the 18.45 he just made up in his head.

"OLD Renfe BOYS"

and a narrow gauge one!

Ehhhhh would it not be more like this one?

Maybe ill buy it.

is the current microphone the built in one or an external one? In the current recording if the wind noise isnt too bad you could try adding a high pass filter to the audio track however this may also affect the noise of the locomotive if you need to use it heavily. to be a bit more surgical about it, run the audio track through a spectral analyser and then use an EQ to pull out the frequencies where the loudest wind is occurring, again your milage may vary. of course if the noise is BAD then your only solution will be to go and record again with the mic sheltered. I have software capable of doing all of the above if you havent got a clue what im on about. id be happy to take a a look for you. hypothetically speaking, if you had a portable digital audio recorder separate to your camera you could place it in close to the locomotive and sheltered from any wind but focused on the prime mover as @Broithe suggests. this would free you up to record the video from anywhere on the train and you could also use a second microphone and deadcat plugged into your camera with the gain turned down and have it pointed down or backwards. ie not directly into the wind. this mic would record the general atmosphere and the sound further back in the train like the rumble of the coaches as they go along. you would then syncronise the sounds in your video editing software and the final audio track would be a mixture of the two that you will have slightly more editing control over. this would sum together to make a very nice overall sound but may be overkill and would require 2 people to carry out properly.

Well he's back now. And he doesn't like the cut of your jib!

I started junior infants in 1996 and stayed in that school until first class around 99 or 2000. the main line to dublin would run by our playground at eye level, the playground might have even been a little above rail height but you got an epic view of passing trains one way or another so normally when we heard the 071 off in the distance we would run down for a quick look at the passing train. One thing i always remembered clearly was that i always tried to count the amount of "ir intercity" versus "intercity" logos that i would see because they were an odd one out that you would only see sometimes.

the shops section could definitely do with looking at and overhaul. its basically imposible to get even small items in from the UK now without anpost opening the package up and slapping another bill plus handling fee ontop of whatever you have ordered. my knowledge of european retailers isnt strong enough that i would go making loads of big orders from them even though a lot of them offer a low flatrate shipping to ireland. one particular thing has annoyed me this week, I wanted a specific superquick kit, so i went an ordered it off ebay for RRP plus nearly the same again in postage plus probabaly another 7 or 8 euro in taxes before i actually get the thing! last night i was browsing an Irish retailer (who isnt listed in the shops section) and what popped up? a range of superquick kits at RRP plus about a fiver in postage with next day delivery. The store do not stock Irish models but they do attend Irish exhibitions, other irish shops missing too. of the shops listed, 2 are still open and one is based mostly in england.
