That's why the test sample uses the Porterbrook one's moulding, to make sure there's one fewer in the world. 1 1 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 An Irish Deltic , as the great Sean Connery, famous for his Irish accent in the Untouchables would have put it, is simply 'Shex on Shix Axshuls, junior ' 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc2016 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Well done @Accurascale Fran for the Aprils fool joke. This is one that did get me, it wasn't until i seen the headcode, price and limited edition number at the end although when reading I did think that it was using a wrong number as other Deltics were in the D9 range. It took a lot longer than it should have to realise what day it was today. Samuel.

Fran You know, I'd seriously go for one. Rule 1 and all that. Love the Deltic class plus CIE liveries circa the 70s / 80s. And I'm being serious serious, not kidding serious. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) I really hate to say it, but you've cocked up. The real thing in 1959 did not have wipac light clusters. order canceled, however if you issue one in New York Central grey, with central bonnet headlamp i’d be very interested.

But then I discovered that CIE's livery really was called black and tan. I once dined at an Irish themed pub in Kennebunkport, Maine. It was a cheesy place beyond belief and very heavy on its Irishness. I was a bit surprised to read the menu and discover the “Black and Tan” pie second on the menu. My wife suggested gently that I didnt ask the bar staff if they knew who the Black and Tans were....

class29returns Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Brilliant.April fools day is a favourite of mine but understandably was underplayed this year.At first i thought it was going to be a "relative " like the Irish BRCW. My lovely horse,still laughing at that Thanks for the laugh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
