  1. It looks like it may have been fitted with a 21mm gauge compatable bogie intended for the Irish versions of these coaches.
  2. Is this a UNrealistic model? 😀 (or a realistic UN model)
  3. The Irish post code system ( Eircode) has a unique Eircode for each individual property. Our Eircode is therefore different from our neighbours.
  4. I hope the grain pattern on the wood is realistic lol 😀
  5. Apologies if this has been posted before but I thought it relevant to this thread. 😀
  6. Is it permitted to name and shame the manufacturers of unrealistic models? 😁
  7. Or maybe your trains are unrealistically big 😁
  8. In oo I use 10" per coach plus 12" for loco. For a loco and four coaches this works out at 52". Just a rule of thumb which works for me.
  9. A small scene on the prototype can be the inspiration to model that scene somewhere on my layout. I could be equally inspired by a scene on someone else's layout.
  10. Sadly, I think you might be right. IRM coaches with Murphy Models loco. The prototype.
  11. So who is going to build a model railway the same as Minature Wunderland? 😁
  12. Here is a photo of my IRM NIR Mk2 coaches with a Murphy Models NIR GM No 111. The blue on the coaches is much darker than on the locomotive. I remember the prototype as all being the same colour as in this photograph taken at Belfast Central. February 1981 So; who has got the colour correct? IRM, Murphy Models or neither?
  13. From the Rails website: So, who is "the manufacturer"?
  14. The convex bumps on one coach match into the concave bumps on the next coach, helping to maintain corridor alignment for passenger comfort.
  15. So Hattons buys Model TrainStuff and Rails of Sheffield buys Hattons, would that make it Rails of Hatts 'n Stuff? 😀
  16. But if you do that, then the warranty will no longer include the flushing. 😁
  17. Nice gesture Hattons. https://bala-lake-railway.co.uk/hattons-model-railways-closing-down-sale/
  18. Very intetesting article, but I have to confess that I thought the thread title was a typo for "changing trains"!
  19. This flight had a stop over at Reykjavík and AFAIK was thus the first (and only) mainline locomotive in Iceland.
  20. Ever wonder why the Dapol Terriers sold out so fast? Now's your chance.
