The Eagle has Landed! great stuff!

'Mission Impossible 5 or 'A Few Good Men 2'?

Stay tuned Rich - I'm just getting warmed up!!!

That's fantastic news lads, as the orange livery was my favourite! Well done and a full rake of 12 will be ordered!! Sure 'tis going to be a great Xmas

...This waiting i is worse than being with the missus in the labour ward....

Thanks Rich - appreciate it!

It makes me want to burst someone in the management that provide the Coast Guard rescue services after seeing that program on prime time last night! The money pinching feckers have no duty of care to the brave crews that go out on rescue missions with sub standard equipment.....and then nobody knows who is responsible for the oversight of the operation? Heads must roll and the government must step in to rectify all the safety concerns as a top priority to prevent a repetition of what happened the crew of 116. Rant over

Ah Jaysus lads - lost again? Fear not...me and the lads will get you home safe!!!

Hi all - 'tis myseff back in action again with more shenanigans - and before i go on like a broken record, 'tis great to be here and i love the site revamp! I purchased a hornby M7 for 40 notes on ebay ''dother day with a view to making it into an Irish loco, namely a GSR class 279, funnily enough numbered 279! The idea came to me after consuming a few gulps of uncle Arthur(God bless the man!) and finding the said loco in the book 'locos of the GSR'. The project took as much time as it took me to consume 4 cans of the holy stuff - the most time being given to the decal removal and masking for the final spray. So, body separated from the chassis, whistles removed from the done and same filled with model plastic, brake fluid used very effectively on removing the decals, (pause for breath)...then the reduction of the bunker height. Decals removed with a cocktail stick and after a wash down and a quick dry with my seldom used hair dryer - she was sprayed with a can of matt black paint from Halfords, after masking the buffer beams and windows with blue tack. (no fecking messing here!!!) So after all paint dried and blue tack removed , the whole shebang was lovingly slapped back together to produce this baby................Shes not perfect and a few bits more need to be done like her new number but shes mine and she has got her Irish passport!!

As ould Mr Brennan says ' no matter how bad things get - there's always something to look forward to!'....and by God this is certainly true with you boyos at Irish Railway Models Ltd ! Since yer launch, I have been constantly amazed at the level of commitment to sheer perfection in your models to date and for future releases. I look with absolute pride in my rake of ballast wagons and eagerly await the bubbles with 5 packs ordered to date (for Jaysus sake say nothing to Mrs O!). As regards project 4, It goes without saying that I will be dipping into my holiday fund to get a rake of what ever beauties they are! Continued success to all and well done!

.....Feck it - I've just wet myself!!!!

...If only it was that simple Jim!

Wilco!

Ha.....I really missed this site!

And that was before my yearly bath Broithe

Thanks boyos!

Ah Jaysus Lads, I'm touched (in the head) by your kind comments! Just to clarify Broithes comment re the health care facility - it is NOT a 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest type!' I got an infection in an old war wound from 19 years ago and the Gods have decided on a 14 day course of intravenous antibiotics to get rid of the badness within. Only another 9 days to go (hopefully) and I will be released into society! Many thanks again for your good wishes....It means a lot to me.

No jim,but i did let the dog give him a few love bites on his wobbly bits when he said his last goodbye!

When it comes to that time Richie, its a case of shoot first and ask questions later. Make an example of the first lad and the rest will have manners....IT REALLY DOES WORK!

Espically with Glenderg being a Daddy, he will no doubt want the best buggy for his baby daughter that will give the ultimate protection wille going out for a spin. This baby should do nicely.......

Tis more than welcome you are:tumbsup:

Congrats and best wishes to Glenderg and his lovely wife Ilona an the birth of their daughter Isabelle. Well done Richard - now off to the vet for you! Everything is out of bounds for the next 6 months!!! Congrats again!:tumbsup:=D=D

...Fran, Im already convinced of the quality - not only by looking at the class 71, but by the fact that youse Boyos (known from this day forth as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) are overseeing the show! Again, every success with the venture:tumbsup:
