Very intetesting article, but I have to confess that I thought the thread title was a typo for "changing trains"!

I just phone the surgery and make an appointment. Old technology but it works!

This flight had a stop over at Reykjavík and AFAIK was thus the first (and only) mainline locomotive in Iceland.

Impressive.

Ever wonder why the Dapol Terriers sold out so fast? Now's your chance.

A bin man is driving along a street picking up the wheelie bins and emptying them into his rubbish truck. He goes to one house where the bin hasn't been left out. In the spirit of kindness and after having a quick look about for the bin, he gets out of his truck, goes to the front door and knocks. There's no answer. Being a conscientious bloke, he knocks again - much harder. Eventually, a man comes to the door. "Hello" says the man. "Hi mate, where's ya' bin?" asks the bin man. "I bin on toilet," explains the man, a bit perplexed. Realising the fellow had misunderstood him, the bin man smiles and tries again. "No mate, where's ya' dust bin?" "I dust bin to toilet, I told you!'' says the man, still perplexed. "Listen," says the garbage collector. "You're misunderstanding me. I mean, where's ya' wheelie bin?'" "OK, OK. " replies the man with a sheepish grin, and whispers in the collector's ear. "I wheelie bin in bed with the woman from next door!"

Complete with Accurasmell effects. 😀

Or we could just use the Bachmann era system 😁

My condolences. RIP

I suspect many others have made the same mistake. I know I did once (but I think I got away with it 😉)

Purchased from e bay recently.

There are two Triang on e bay at the moment.

Accurascale: Glasgow Blue emu. Irish Railway Models: Mk2b coaches in original blue and maroon livery. Oh, and matching Hunslet and 80 class.

What kind of room can you get for only £35??

Pleaseform an orderly queue. 😁

It's popular to put up a post of one's last parcel from Hattons so here's mine. By the way I had two 'last parcels' before this, but this really is the last. 😥

@wombatofludham I agree that the Caribbean Blue and Morocco Maroon livery is classic. I once had a set of Lima coaches repainted in that livery but sold them. There is some useful information in a thread called "NIR Mk2 Loco Hauled Stock" in the "Irish Railways Group" in "Continental amd Overseas" section of this forum.

The 80 class are based on mk2b bodies so are a natural candidate for another batch of mk2b coaches. They ran in a number of liveries. Also a re-run of the mk2b FO, TSO, driving trailer and dining car in the original NIR blue/maroon 1970 livery would give a rake of coaches for the Hunslet hauled Belfast-Dublin train for our MIR Hunslets to haul. The TSO ex FO ran for a number of years in the NIR blue/grey livery as side corridor second class (is that SK?) before reconfigured as open coaches. Does IRM plan to produce this version? It would be a change of internal arrangement only.

Windows 😁😁
