Warbonnet Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Hi everyone, The Dublin show is back! After a period away due to COVID, the biggest show on the Irish calendar is back this October Bank Holiday Weekend at St. Paul's Raheny. We're delighted to be main show sponsor once again. Lot's of layouts to see and of course we will be on hand with lots of shiny models for sale including A Class locos, wagons, buses and who knows what else. We will even have a show special bargain (serious bargain that will blow your minds!) on sale. And of course, there will be excitement too, with THREE new models being announced between now and the show (two at the show itself, one beforehand) including our next powered model! So make sure you get yourself to Raheny and find out the latest news, pick up a bargain and some lovely IRM models. See you there! Cheers! Fran 12 3 Quote

In the spirit of earlier posts, I think that they are hoping to make a Korean Killing. Great trains for their passengers. As for Branchline, he doesn't need to wait for Raheny - the last Episode of "Bloodlands" is on Sunday night. I'll leave Police Commissioner Bracken to run a book on "Whodunit". 2 1 Quote

jhb171achill Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 In all reality, in terms of what actually ran on the rails in, say, the fifties and sixties - as opposed to anyone's actual opinion or preference - the most glaring gaps (but not the only ones) at this point in time are: 1950s: AEC railcars, both CIE & GNR / Horse boxes / B101 & C classes RTR, plus some more steam / wooden-bodied carriages of GNR, GSWR or MGWR origins / Park Royals / laminates / 6-wheelers. 1960s: In addition to the above: NCC "Jeeps" / Tin Vans 1970s: 80 class railcars 2 Quote
