  1. Is the base chassis of these the same as the short container flats?
  2. Dave Jones Models as far as I am aware use Mercig to weather RTR products. This company is responsible for the best RTR weather ever seen in the UK so I'm pretty sure they could do a fantastic job on the "bubbles". Here is some examples. http://rmweb.co.uk/photos/BRM_Reviews/Bullet2.jpg http://www.ehattons.com/81649/Dapol_D1003w_LN_Class_52_Co_Co_Western_D1068_Western_Reliance_in_weathered_BR_blue_Limited_Edit/StockDetail.aspx

  4. That new coat of paint should have fixed everything!!!!!!
  5. With the extra PR of the mags, I wonder was there any noticeable pick up in orders??
  6. Really nice. I must make a start on something Irish myself
  7. Here is a short video of it stopping.
  8. I actually used EMD645 non turbo for the base sound. The brake squeal is good, I will try and get a short video of it. I installed it with the standard 40x20 speaker that comes with the 21pin decoder and just used the Murphy cradle. I was looking at installing a cube speaker but run out of patience. The sound quality is actually good enough for me and has a much better bark in "real life".
  9. I have been working on a sound chip for the 141/181's using modified american loksound files. I have uploaded a couple of short videos onto youtube. The video quality is not great but the sounds can be heard as for some reason it won't upload in HD. Here is a link.
  10. 230 looks great. Its just about the best C Class I have seen. Great modelling.
  11. Great stuff.
  12. Did IRM forget to email me that I won the draw???
  13. Have you any idea what type of North American loco and which roadname as I have a couple I might sell. Gareth
  14. Just a little example from youtube to encourage everyone to order 5 sets each!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOFrFe2Wa0Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOFrFe2Wa0Q
  15. They look really good. Thanks for the info.
  16. Really nice. Who makes the flat wagon you are using with the 20' containers?
  17. Any updates on this MM project??
  18. Really sad news and I am sure will be sorely missed by MR and all his model railroading friends.
  19. Looks good. excellent modelling.
  20. I have just checked up and if you can get your hands on a book called "35 years of NIR" go to page 100 and you will see a photo of a twin Class 70 power car set powering the "Derry freight" on the 3rd July 1979.
  21. The Class 70's definitely hauled the Derry goods back in the late 1970's. I am sadly old enough to have witnessed it. If I recall correctly it was on occasions two power cars back to back.
  22. A little video on a rather wet Sunday Evening.
  23. Nelson the layout looked fantastic. Thanks for the tip for ground cover during our chat on Saturday.
