Noel Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Don't worry its not politics. Since 2012 the layouts stock has changed - out with BR and in with CIE.

Noel Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Steam vs. Diesel? No contest! Yea I know but I kind of miss driving toy steam engines - choo choo! The sound of EMD locos notching has kind of made up for it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 We could hope for a J15 or 800 I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 We could hope for a J15 or 800 I suppose Both available as kits - though €€€€€€ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Both available as kits - though €€€€€€ What's a kit? (in jest). Jonathan there is some hope of me attempting plastic or resin if they are comprehensive precision kits, not a bag full of plastic flash. But brass, eek, I have neither the skills, patience, time nor inclination for the same reason I use a gps chart plotter to navigate at sea instead of a sextant. Hats off to the few brass masters here with the talents to produce quality results. Now a J15 would be nice to have if perhaps one day in the future an RTR one makes it into IRMs catalog. Time has moved on. As to an 800 I could only dream of commissioning Meabh from one of the resident brass maestros. But it would have to have DCC sound, lights, whistles and flickering smoke box glo PS. Actually I've five plastic kits in the pipeline.

Noel Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Did I say anything about brass? Hi Kevin. No indeed you didn't, I was replying to Jonathan's post about kit availability, both kits are brass. An RTR J15 (101 class) would be nice but I doubt viable. Cheers.
