I have a spread sheet done up with all the railway bit n bobs, Man Alive shocked me how much I actually have and will in respect looking at some of the items may probably never use. I sometimes just wish that I never came into this hobby as it is like a curse sometimes! And the products seemingly are non stop. That does not include the RC Aircraft and boats either..... It grand being in the UK you have a good chance of getting some good prices on re sale but being in Ireland I am goosed now with the hassle selling to the UK which would be my main market giving the BR interest I have.

I have not had any issues with them. must be a clearance problem, Was thier a invoice or such with it? This is of course thanks to brexitland. Mind you I order off the New Mainland now. Amazon Germany is now a good friend.

The Horns and Vac pipes need to go on JHB!

Grand Job, Yes I got the final Scheduled payment too sorted, Really handy that way, Missus does not suspect anything and you hardly notice the cash going out. When the box comes, 'Oh I ordered this about 5 years ago...forgot all about it.. tis Just a coach."

You are right, An Post is nuts. Actually has closed me down affectively flogging off stuff that needs posting anywhere.

Cor that was quick, probably the same for myself too then! Sweet. Did you get a mail saying it was complete?

Ohh loverly.....Craking layout Dr. Pity I chose UK outline as the Continental stuff is amazing! So Tempting both the Sausages and Railway!

Bummer to see the problems coming up, Luckily just had probably my last parcel from the UK I'd say from Cornwall Model Boats. They shipped FED EX and I feared the Worst re charges. Driver called to the door and just went here's your parcel. 60 notes worth. Phew.

this looks very nice and it is great to see some different countries popping up here to add to the variety.

Ouch that is some extra cost, I dont have an EV but I expect the fast chargers are more expensive that the slower ones and that charging at home is much better cost wise?

5 steam, Can't wait for this one to be announced, Hopefully nothing too North or West.

Good god, that is lovely, Please stop putting up these tempting pictures!

I find the Wagons Squeak like hell. In OO I don't think its worth it and hardly noticeable. O though is a bigger deal.

LOL! There's Gold in them Gardens, With all the rain this week it wont be hard!

An unusual shape flying over the house yesterday @ 500ft. The Tellus survey is a national programme to gather geochemical and geophysical data across Ireland – in other words, to examine the chemical and physical properties of our soil, rocks and water. https://www.gsi.ie/en-ie/programmes-and-projects/tellus/Pages/default.aspx

the Rail nut FB says this "So in our excitement we forgot to read the instructions on fitting the chip and this has an effect on the lights oops our fault nothing to do with the APT must learn to read !"

Cracking Layout JHB, you must be well chuffed now living life in the 60's

Waterford Greenway lots of Concrete RTP boxes where the cattle runs were. Sad.

Christ that's a hatchet job. Sorry for your loss.

Certainly is a beauty and will last a long longer then the usual Glass Vessels I get the odd time in these type of boxes!

Would not worry bout it 96701, Stick the Fell on your layout and enjoy it. All very well for these season lads to bleat on about Buying a kit, you then need to fork out to get wheels, motors and if you don't have the gear all that you need to construct it and paint it and hope that everything aligns and it actually runs on your tack. Sometimes I wonder if we are better off without the internet. Before you had a go at me at building these and you never know if you dont try I have tried and Failed and I have been modelling for quite a number of years so no slouch to soldering etc. That's quite easy, Its the Gubbins inside killed me off. I rather stick my cash into an RTR than run the risk of mucking up 300 notes worth of loco lit.

I have got 60% of my stuff 2nd hand, Wagons and coaches mostly and some Locos from Ebay and local Railway exhibitions. I have reached a stage I don't really need any more and cancelled recent locos mostly due to Brexit and being a UK modeller in Ireland as diminished my buying and selling base which was mostly UK lads. Also the continuous conveyor belt of new stuff coming to market, I wonder how sustainable that will be tbh in the long run. Some like Accurascale have good prices but as you say baccy has made their product priced for what ever reason mostly now for solicitors and doctors these days.

Yes there is a +1 for Yesderday, Better off recording in and you will be able to skip the repeated info and ads.

Well I am sure my wages have not increased the same way as Baccy Offerings. I have a choice to get it or not, If it does come down to Bargain bin lots then I will maybe take a punt otherwise I will enjoy vids of other chaps layouts and those bombing about!

I remember the ol fella telling me about this: "If you took Economics 101 in high school or college, you learned that selling prices for goods and services are determined by “what the market will bear.” That means that consumers – the market – decide what a product is worth, and will give so much money, but no more, for that product" In this case I wonder is the pricing right out. I decided on a 3 rail SR layout when this stuff started to come out but by god wont be shelving out that for a yoke to go around in Circles. I will stick to what I have at this stage.
