    Customs & VAT

    It's a bit of a minefield, why don't Kernow just use the electric trains code, I don't think the Customs people would know the difference and it would be better for their customers. Sometimes you might buy several items that fall into both categories, so which code do you use then?
  2. That's a nice group. I was looking at my 073 yesterday and I thought they are nicely weathered especially around the bogies.
  3. Walking Britain's lost Railways is on tonight Fri 19th Channel 5 at 7.00pm. Tonight it is about N.Ireland starting in Belfast.
  4. They look like they have been already torpedoed.
  5. Will it have a crew? Must be near done now.
  6. Very informative. How many of us look after our rolling stock like that?
  7. Where did you get that?? I like the underframe but the top looks a bit plastic. When weathered down it will be nice.
  8. Here are a few pictures I took at Belfast docks a while back if they are of any use to you. You can also try looking up a website for Kelly coal boats, it might have something on it.
  9. The weathering on the steam loco's looks amazing and 141 is pretty good too.
  10. First, second and third class.
  11. They do look pretty light and a good match. They would look good on a coach.
  12. It is very pale but Railtec snails are a little dark and I wish they could do some pale ones. It's up to you, I would put white ones on and dirty them up a bit to take the brightness off them.
  13. A picture of the real thing would help you to see what is needed colour wise and any other detail that needs to be added. Should be nice.
  14. These will be very nice and tiny. A great part of industrial history from the start. And a nice video of Beamish Living Museum, a place I would love to see some day. Good luck with these, not that you'll need it.
  15. I know the feeling. When adverts start I hit the mute button and continue with the internet. BBC2 & BBC4 are better and no Adds. I only put the TV on to watch something and then turn it off.

    B101 LOCO

    I think maybe they had to fit the space made for them and could not be turned round to face the other direction.

    B101 LOCO

    I came across this picture on eBay of B107 and it shows it with tablet catchers, which I have not seen before and the catchers seem to be back to front compared to other locos.
  18. Most signals like the one above had white spectacle plate in the south but these were red in the north.
  19. I thought that was your workshop.
  20. https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/2449-popeyes-workbench/page/2/ I built one a few years ago. You can take a look at my workbench page 2 and see if that helps. The roof is the tough bit, good luck.
  21. Sorry, I misread that in the specifications.
  22. The wheels on the IRM bogie are 14.4mm and most other manufactures use 12.5mm so this can also increase the height.
  23. Looks like street view, very nice.
