BabyGM Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Good luck with the new loco's Des Any news on the ammonia's/flats Quote
Mayner Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Great news I might have to trade the smaller stuff in for the Tralee & Dingle Kerr Stuart Quote
Weshty Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Great news I might have to trade the smaller stuff in for the Tralee & Dingle Kerr Stuart I'm tempted myself. It's an ANIMAL of a model, well over 12" long and a plethora of beautiful brass detailing. Quote
Mayner Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I'm tempted myself. It's an ANIMAL of a model, well over 12" long and a plethora of beautiful brass detailing. Might have to get John Campbell to do a live steam conversion I just might have to sell the N gauge collection and try a scale where I can actually see the models. Quote
jhb171achill Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Talking of Weshty's models, I got a kit by post the other day for 800 "Maedb".... Words fail me. For anyone who knows me personally, that's saying something! I'll just summarise: sell your car and house, rob your granny and BUY one! Amazing! Can't wait to get it made up. Just looking at the bits in kit form, it's worth every red cent. It's a YES from me!!!! Louis? Simon? Quote

Though you'd probably get a more fervant response if Pete Waterman, Rod Stewart or Neil Young were on the panel. All rabid modellers. 1 Quote
jhb171achill Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Didn't know about Neil Young, Weshty... "...Well I heard Mister Young sing about her Well, I heard ole Neil put her down Well, I hope Neil Young will remember A Southern man don't need him around anyhow Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you ..." A "southern man".... so obviously, Neil Young was a fan of the GSWR or the CBSCR... well, 800 on the Cork line would certainly impress him then, boyo. 1 Quote

A "southern man".... so obviously, Neil Young was a fan of the GSWR or the CBSCR... well, 800 on the Cork line would certainly impress him then, boyo. Somehow or other I dont think ol Neil was exactly a GSWR fan probably more Great Northern or NCC....................Sweet Home was Lynard Skynard's response to Neil Youngs "Southern Man" "Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you? Tell me true"..................... despite this the Van Zants & Young remained good friends I have always been tempted to check to hook up a Lionel loco to a sound system, at one time Ol Neil bought the company and spent a lot of time and money developing a sound system, I wonder if there is much feedback Quote
Weshty Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 http://www.feelnumb.com/2010/02/23/neil-youngs-obsession-with-model-trains/ Neil Young is such a model train enthusiast that he actually invented a Trainmaster Command Control and was part owner of Lionel, LLC, the model train company and model railroad accessories. In 2008 Lionel emerged from bankruptcy and his shares of the company were wiped out but he is still a consultant for the company. Young was instrumental in the design of the Lionel Legacy control system for model trains and has been named as co-inventor on seven U.S. Patents related to model trains. 1 Quote
