LNWR or LSBCR maybe? There are two, potentially. The LNWR livery is well within the “two foot rule” for DNGR livery. The LMS is suitable, albeit with some amendments, for GSR livery.

Billycan Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Just wondering about the lighting kits that Hattons were supplying as well. Anyone got any info about what Rails are doing there? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any info about what Rails are doing there? I assumed Rails were fulfilling the lighting packs order as well. Can anyone confirm either way? Has anyone gotten a Rails of Sheffield order posted to the republic recently? Do Rails subtract the UK VAT and then An Post charges the EU VAT plus their handling fee?

That is a shame, as I am sure they would be very popular, not only with the Irish modeller but also in the UK.

leslie10646 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) Me too. Six green things en route. I did order one BnT van - are they doing those - I hope that they haven't forgotten them. I wanted it for my parcel /newspaper train (first train from Dublin through Portadown Jct each day! Must check my origiinal order! Ah, wrong, I ordered two GREEN full brakes (No.18), but they've only included one - so I've asked for it!

Colin R Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 You know what they say you can't keep a good man down, well according to a thread on RM web a well-known Model Railway Company which may or may not be from this parish, appears to have acquired the moulds of the above, said coaches. Personally, if it is so, then all the more power to your elbow, as I can see it, being a bloody good fit for said company profile, I just need to be a bit patient until the official announcement is made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their email said to wait until the 20th before getting in touch - it sounded like its a busy week for them .... ... I'd say they must be over at the ploughing trying to figure out how much of a margin Mark's Models are getting on the John Deere and Massey Ferguson models! Edit: The 'ploughing', for those across the water (and maybe the more remote parts of Dublin), is one of the biggest outdoor events in Europe - north of 200,000 people will attend the 'National Ploughing Championships' this week: more here Edited September 18 by Flying Snail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
