Rumour has it a few Levantes have arrived in Dublin in Aircoach blue. They even have toilets onboard. There is rumoured to be 10 to enter service, possibly on the Cork run. Im going to head down to the depo later to see if I can get a few snaps.

You can get them trams in smiths. They are 19.99. Features opening doors and changable destinations. Not motorised. They are big enough.

Due to a change in my layout some track here for sale/swap.

As per phonecall Eamon Ill take 217 .

Your bidding on some of my stuff on ebay. Perhaps we can make some sort of deal. Ide love one.

Hi joe, how did you get on in that "bidding war", did you contact Ebay to get their feel on what happened ! hope you did'nt pay, someone was trying something that's not very nice

Nope, Havnt paid. I have not heard anything from the seller, so im waiting on their invoice. Ill contact ebay If I receive it.

Anyone know any good sites for buildings you can print out and make?

Quick update today. Im testing putting down roads with various stuff. Main Street is coming along with a small carpark at the far end. Awaiting some shops and buildings and hopefully a double track level crossing by the weekend.

Looks a bit iffy though, should I go ahead with payment?

Quick update to show photos. Layout has entered garden. The garden loop (High Speed 1) will eventully be a double track circut, measurements a whopping 20x11x20ft. This will have various sidings for overnight storage of various wagens/carraiges. New 040 BR loco entered service today (Thanks again Dave). Virgin 125 is a bit late leaving for a full repaint but will leave on Mon. Next bit of work will concentrate on the 6x4 board, roads and ballast, buildings etc. High Speed 1 should be extenended also.

@ WrennEire, I emailed this chap to see if he could accept postage to Irl. He said no probs, but still remains the same.

Hmmmm.. I have seemed to have won this bid @ 26 euros. I was outbidded at 80 odd euro at the time. Free post from Galway. How did I win this bid @26 Euro when I was outbidded at 80 odd?

I believe the journey through the streets of Dublin had to be stopped on a number of occasions due to some rather drunk folk. Is this through? Would love to see the vid all the same.

Other News:

My Virgin 125 Power Car, Dummy Car and mark 3 carraige are currently gone away for repaint.

Steam loco off my Hornby Mainline Steam set will be hopefully gone for repair this weekend.

No probs. Thanks for the advice folks. Ill think I will drop it over to Dave whenever I get a chance.

Did this actually operate in service like that. I dont think it did. Some competition 98fms big blue box or something like that.

Tried it there. Still making the same noise. The two circles in the photo below, these parts are spinning around when i open the throttle up. Dave said I can drop it over to him if I cant fix it.

No probs Anto. . Ive always wanted to try the Nitelink livered RA that was around at some point.

Do I need to remove the two screws in photo 2 underneath?

Ok so this is where Im at now.

Is it easy enough to do? Its the steam loco off the Hornby Mainline Steam set.

Hi all, Im having a problem with one of my locos. When you power her up to go, shes making a revving like noise but not moving. Its like she wants to go but somethings stopping her. The higher I turn the power controller the higher the noise from the loco. Any Ideas?
