    Four lines of bolt heads on the sides, these appear to have been captured on Leslie's version.

    Seriously thinking of repainting my Provincial Wagons "H" to make a green "H" out of it for a little variety.

    I got mine yesterday. Oil's well that ends well.

    Or, cynical hat on, if there's an angle they can make money out of it.

    With the UK there's a latent sense of pride that they practically invented them, here they're still looked upon in some quarters as being a bit foreign. I do think in some of the younger generation, when they see a well done exhibition model railway there's a "that's cool" respectful reaction rather than pointing and sniggering at "toy trains" and their operators (sic.)

    An old furniture container of mine did sit nicely in a Shapeways Bulleid, but not the IRM version.

    Where were the Molasses flows going to? Was it for food or agriculture?

    Not the best quality image, found while clearing phone of messages.

    I wonder why in the 1:1 world, why didn't more selling and regauging go on between Britain and Ireland? Could have made things easier for us!

    When first outshopped I believe the originals were painted black and letters and border picked out in silver, latterly they were plastered over with layers of black and orange paint. The replicas have no fixing studs either so that's another pointer to never having been fixed to a loco. I remember seeing them being sold at an ITG sales stand years ago.

    I generally watch Portaloo with gritted teeth, that booming voice and his blinding wardrobe.

    Id be very surprised if the chassis of both were bang on identical. They're bound to have some differences, wheels bigger or smaller, or spaced differently, or different number of spokes. I don't think it's a clue at all. The one clue I can see in their release is it may be a preserved RPSI loco, quite possibly one active currently or in recent years.

    I think the aluminium alloy ones were replicas cast by the ITG in the 1990s(?) and sold to raise funds.

    In Ireland generally it is red (latterly hi vis orange) for both home and distant. In Britain it's red for home, yellow for distant although the GNR(I) also followed this convention.
