  1. Model Rail Issue 88 and 138 have articles on doing this. Still would prefer the Hurst kits though, a bit easier!!
  2. Has anyone ordered/received overlays in the last 12 months??
  3. The Model Railway Society of Ireland enjoyed our visit to York with O'Connell Street and look forward to returning again some time
  4. The Extreme Etches/Shawplan ones are miles ahead of the Dapol etched ones, not to mention the Extreme Etches stainless steel brake discs
  5. The MRSI are currently crossing the Irish Sea now with O'Connell Street onboard. See you all on Friday
  6. Not long to go now, loading O'Connell Street Wednesday, travelling Thursday
  7. It will be out, when its out, not before then. 68 provided a glimmer of hope that Dapol will get this right
  8. Followed you back @modelrailways
  9. The Faller Car System on O'Connell Street has been totally replaced with a DCC Train Automation setup and will make its debut at the York Show - Ground Floor
  10. Well at least you read my opinion, which Im entitled to. Too bad you disagree with it, but there are no King Canutes in this world 4 for £100 or 8 for £185 is a better sell. Not everyone wants to buy a single wagon
  11. £27 each is too much - why not offer 4 for £100?
  12. Be Careful what you read and say online http://Dapol.co.uk/index.php?route=blog/post&post_id=40
  13. This is the way forward now, rather than being led up the garden path by manufacturers who promise but cant deliver - for themselves, never mind anyone else
  14. Along with the DRS one at Hattons at RRP. What retailers represent West Midlands/Wales. Checked on Lord and Butler/Cheltenham Model Centres websites and nothing yet
  15. Starting a reply using the term 'with respect' is flawed. Meant to be the most depressing day of the year and it is the case with a few on here today. Leaving it there, no more needs to be said.
  16. You must have voted 'Yes' for Brexit with that outlook. Its becoming the biggest example of hindsight. You cant have everything. If the detail was less you would complain, if its too expensive you complain, if its too cheap you would complain as a shortcut has been made somewhere Bachmann have clearly been monitoring the sales of a commissioned set here - where the coaches work out at over £70 each, and they are selling well
  17. Email from Hattons "Bachmann have confirmed that the Recommended Retail price for this item is £49.95, resulting in an new sales price of £42.46. This is due to the the terms of supply to all retailers by Bachmann therefore we will unable to provide this item at our estimated price however we can confirm that the new sales price is the lowest this item can be sold to you by any retailer." I can see it being the case now that retailers wont be as quick to accept pre-orders
  18. O'Connell Street 1949 will be in attendance. As seen in the current (November 2016) issue of Railway Modeller
  19. A complete bargain compared to other new coaches being launched soon by a south western based retailer
  20. Items that are instock on the website are available still and people have received orders, but those that are not available wont be. It would be nice if Andrew were to perhaps sell the business to someone who was willing to restart production of the out of stock items but communication is non existant
  21. Looks like a heavy crop/digital zoom = distortion
  22. Why not sell them in 3's or 4's for £90-95. More appealing and easier to make up a rake
  23. Was on that, some roar off the traction motors on this one compared to all the other 59's
