I mean there's the new Hatton's Gensis project which would give decent foundation for to be resprayed into Irish colours.

Jesus is the website right in saying they're already sold out? If so, fair play lads that's got to be a record.

So missing routes - Glounthaune - Middleton - Rosslare - Rosslare Europort - Killarney - Tralee - Docklands - Glasnevin Junction - Belfast - Colarine - Belfast - Larne - Cultra - Bangor

"Hornby clung to "Try-Ang" standards" I'm sorry but of all the bull you've spewed, this takes the biscuit. The Merchant Navies, 60s, 08s, Teaks, Pullmans always drove the expected norm for a model up a notch from fine detail, smooth running, livery application, behaviour you praise IRM/AS for doing the exact same a decade later. I take it then all the awards Hornby has won for its models are just junk, dark ages inward looking or is it kids brain melted from leds, ICRs and the smell of plastics?

3173 our current GSV, was started out as a BCK however 3185 is a former BSK like 3187

And of course the final word from me on the coach. If enough of us order the SF coach and start detailing it, Murphy's Law will have to kick in and Fran and the lads will annouce a RTR one!

Another way of looking at things is that we're 90% closer to a highly detailed weedspayer train then we were yesterday. My only niggle (and it's a minor niggle at that) I do enjoy the long run times and preordering, as it gives me a chance to spend my pennies over time then one lump sum but at the same time I can rest easy now, knowing all that's due shortly is the nearly paid off 121s and my paid As.

Oh now that's a tasty pricing. Order placed! Also, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there mention of etched plates coming with this pack to represent the warning boards the locos wear?

I mean is it a heritage livery if the locos have not stopped carrying the livery? Like the return of 071 and 073 to heritage liveries was welcome as the rest of the fleet was in the slate grey livery.

Their website:https://www.connemararailway.ie/ And FB page: https://www.facebook.com/connemararailwayman/ They've also gotten coverage in regional and national papers.

Standards and EGVs mainly for me.

Well I'd certainly want a rake or two. Was away from the hobby when they were first released and like hen's teeth nowadays.

Indeed I was nice and safe, combo pack now ordered! I do love a bit of the anld yellew stuff

In fairness to the lads, they've done a rerun of the bubbles this year and have mentioned that they will do a rerun of the ballast hoppers. I'm sure in a year or so, if the demand is there, we'd see a rerun of some of Project 42 - even if it's just the flats. Especally with the loads on sale seperately.

Ah bugger, hope these don't sell out until payday on Monday. Still wasn't expecting this announement today.

That's an instant buy!

And my rake finally made its way out of the annuals of the postal centre it got stuck in for the last few days. Lovely models.

And there was me thinking I ordered the full keg bundle!

Annoyingly my kegs "appearently" came Monday as I have the slip saying sorry we missed you but alas no knocks on the door. Not like my usual postie! Still delievery rearranged for within 5 working days. The pictures are whetting my whistle as the thirst for the kegs is something aweful!

Dromod is not in the country anymore, stored pending overhaul in the UK. Shane is in store in Giants Causeway with no boiler ticket and due an overhaul. That leaves 5, Nancy and Roisín as the 3ft steamers in Ireland with a valid boiler ticket.

I question that as I remember 4 fully loaded is about that. Plus diesel weight is evenly distributed over the axles vs on Meave. Then there is the whole loading gauge clearances under the DART and structural clearances on platforms.

That and complete rebuidling of the network to take her size and weight....

Mr Beckett and Mr Bodel for A39r crew too.

Oh now these are mouth watering. The bogie detail alone is the bees knees. Certainly looking forward to my fleet arriving!

Excellent, I had 2 IR on order with Marks and placed one for an IE version with yourselves. At least with the staggered shipping, it'll be easier to spread the cost!
