BR Caboose? http://www.ebay.ie/itm/LIFE-LIKE-TRAINS-AMERICAN-ROLLING-STOCK-BR-GUARD-WAGON-HO-ORIGINAL-BOX-/261037705177?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3cc70f47d9#ht_2227wt_1037

A close up of the pan, for those who havent seen it yet. A thing of beauty compared to what's gone before. I really hope this turns out to be a sales success for Bachmann and they develop further electric locos and EMUs.
-
Picked up mine today,and they really are lovely. I might be tempted to pick up an electric blue one should funds allow. I hope this is the first of many AC locos from Bachmann.

No doubting the haulage capability of the Baby Deltic, had her running up some steep inclines with 60 Bachmann Presflos and it was silky smooth throughout. Heljan sure make some lovely runners. (Original Claytons aside!) This layout is a work in progress and has six levels. I know a Baby Deltic probably will never have to haul such loads on most layouts, but it's nice to know that they can handle such large amounts.

Seriously? You are aware of something called 'the peace process', right?
-
True, but I wouldn't part with my FIA one for a Dapol one. They're stunning. I will wait for the Bachmann version though, then judge which plastic one is best for day to day running!

Da has just picked up my model rail and model railroader mags and begun reading. Wonder if I have a 56 yr old convert on my hands?

Right, off to the pub to reinforce my nation's stereotype. Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!

Unbelievable scenes!

Someone still thinks it's 2007 http://www.ebay.ie/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330692968009&clk_rvr_id=318943302866

Looks like this video explains it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcp7afv-jhg&feature=g-u-u&context=G2e31250FUAAAAAAAAAA

If ever a layout justified a small camera on a flat wagon giving a drivers eye view it's this one! Well done, I saw it at Warley a few years back when it was at a much earlier stage and I was impressed then, it's just getting better and better. Well done!
-
Looks impressive to me, but I'm not a Wizzo hardcore fan, I do like them though. As for the valence and coupler, it sounds like you are taking a similar approach to the Paddy Murphy 201 Irish locos. If you need any close up pics on how they were done, let me know and I'll send them on. I'm sure its pretty straightforward though!

Nice pic of overhauled and repainted 60 074 out on test to Barrow Hill today http://www.flickr.com/photos/onemananhisdog/6641591439/lightbox/ -
Put my new 22 through its paces today, long running in session followed by a haulage test, always do it before adding detail in case there is an issue.Lovely model and runner!

Another bit of silly postage! http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Jouef-oo-inter-city-coaches-/140643593754?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_M&clk_rvr_id=286076380176

Glad to report it could haul a decent load up some tough gradients when we put my D5705 to the test on Friday Running on DCC, with a cheap 3 function Bachmann decoder on board. Could've handled a longer train we reckon.
-
Installing wire grab irons is a pain in the behind!
-
My D5705 arrived in Dublin this morning. What a stunner, well done Heljan and Hattons. Now make a decent stab at our Metrovicks and I'd celebrate with my credit card!
-
Another 'cracker' here. Looking for a cheap one to transplant the internals into a Lima ped. This one might prove to be popular though with those bids already. No mention of the crack by the seller, they might not have noticed themselves.

All Queen fans; go to google and press the play button

Thought that adding the parts to a vitrains 47 was time consuming, until I encountered a Kato SD70MAC!!!

I believe I saw the tail end of a documentary recently about the making of this film. The car used was a Mercedes W116 S class, with the Ferrari sound dubbed over.

Is getting increasing frustrated at stripping down and rebuilding his BLI GS4.

Another vote for Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. I also like his version of Personal Jesus. Whiskey in the Jar by Thin Lizzy was a great take on an old Irish trad song.
