Puts me in mind of the "farmers v meat factories" dispute of a few years ago.

At the local picket line, they became aware of a visit to the factory by a Chinese deputation and, so that they wouldn't be confused as to the technicalities of the issues under dispute, somebody had the superb idea of getting the lads in the nearby take-away to translate the placards properly.

And the translation reads……

”Numma eighteen on menu extra flied lice and chips”

Are we going to have another production run of the Irish Deltic as the original sold out on the day of the announcement?

Hopefully with 888 units this time, Chinese lucky number, as I missed out last time!

Disappointed about lack of announcement this morning.  

Would have at least expected a class 50 in Black & Tan livery.

You mean an IR livery Nifty Fifty!

We already have a B&T Deltic.

Any update on this project?

Very disappointed that they haven’t shipped from the factory, yet.

Mine was delivered on the 31st of February.

O gauge DCC sound version is amazing. Horns play Amhrán na bhFiann

Would have liked to photoshop a Deltic on Bord na Mona tracks, but the technical department is out shopping at the moment.

It would have rolled over into the bog and sunk without trace!
