I was struck by the spelling. Probably up to the mid- 20th century, there was no Whisky/Whiskey spelling 'rule'. If you look at older advertisements, they flipped between one or other way of spelling. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember some things that have changed, like spelling the verb form of 'show' as 'shew' - that was regarded as a 'better form' in the posh parts of England, and people who worked for councils or solicitors, etc, would often be required to do it. I have an early edition of The Last of the Mohicans and 'ankle' is spelt as 'ancle' all the way through. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Dutch vans, 800 class, park royals and 2600 railcars again, probobly quite a long time before we get as shunter. Silverfox has a rough G class and Hornby will (eventually) release the 88DS, technically another Irish shunter Edited March 9, 2023 by Westcorkrailway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DCDR livery on G611 is completely wrong, both for that class of loco, and also in that the green livery applied to the G601 types was not like that anyway. Equally, G613 was never green in traffic. The seven of these things entered traffic in black, tan and white, with several later losing the tan bit and remaining black and white until withdrawal. The original three (601 type) were silver, then green, then black & white (though never tan!)....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great thing about a drought on announcements for me is to focus on conversions and home brew projects. Like those BR mark 1s in CIE green which I made for a few people. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin R Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Well hopefully there will be something a long soon for the A's to pull from the 1940's to the 1960's period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 In fairness to @BosKonay, he's never actually trolled us. Forum members are the ones just itching for a hint of an announcement, and all he does is try calm us down with a "don't worry, we have new ranges due" type message every few months. I guarantee that whatever is announced, it'll be worth the wait, it'll be generally well-received, there'll be a small camp who might buy one coach or one wagon who then moan that they want something else announced straight away, and another small camp who'll moan because it's not something different. Plus, has anybody actually paid off their Mk2 coaches and ICRs yet? I know that I haven't! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmie353 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 DJ makes a fair point, I am still working on paying off for my ICRs and I want to place an order for more sets. I am no in panic for an announcement at the moment. If one comes, I will not complain, it will make me scratch my head for a minute as planning for whatever it is. Course it does not help that Accurascale have a couple of more items announced that I am like God dang it, lol. A class 50 and a 66 would be sweet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
