having the shapeways sulzer body myself, i used the bachmann class 20 chassis. near perfect fit , just have sand down the corners of the chassis to match the curve of the body shell. the body will sit on the existing battery box/feel tanks perfectly. smashing runner aswell! hope this helps.

absolutely stunnung! well done to D andM. i have got to get me a rake of the old and new liveried sets. the dvt are just breath taking!

for any member who has found their units disbanded, im told they will have to formally apply for a position in whatever new unit is available near their location. the system is designed to piss people off, lads who were used to the training facilities of military barracks just dont want to waste time in a cold hall in the arse hole of nowhere, with no equipment to train with. truck loads have left because they feel they have been let down my the authorities. the rumour has rumbled very loudly about the future of the reserve, but the truth is that nobody knows, the brass seem to be making it up as they go. they will have to sort out the regulars first, and that itself will take time. one thing for sure, it will be downsized.

[quote name=garfieldsghost; 'I think a lot of the personnel are transferring to the 6th Infantry Battalion in Athlone.' the problem is that everyone wants to transfer there but there wont be enough places for the amount of lads applying. one thing that must be stressed is that the equipment that the army have and will be getting is amongst the best available. again ' date=' some of it will be difficult to train with, given the fact that there isnt enough military land available to use the stuff! the media will reveal all in due course.........cant tell you any more - or i'll have to kill you!!!

a happy meal? i was lucky to have a hairy bacon sambo with the hairs still on...could have been my dads eyelashes but i didnt care - it was Gorgeous

may their trials be successful! (said while trying not to be jealous!!)

youre an ould romantic at heart J! the enterprise for me was a maroon liveried hun and coaches - seen when i wasnt 2 hands higher than a duck, holding on to my Dads hand in Malahide station! its an image i will never forget.....memories!
