Don't you mean Murphy Models to commission Bachmann? Still not likely to happen, there isn't that much of an Irish model railway scene to warrant that many brand new models.

a real Flying Scotsman lookalike. What a waste of time and money, doing something that Photoshop can do better?

Just some decent lighting would transform New Street for the better. The current lights are so dim its like night time in there. Also eliminate the vermin. last time I was there mice were running around the platforms, not bothered by passengers in the slightest.

heh heh heh, not intended, honest!

Hello everyone, For anyone who may or may not be travelling to Leeds for Narrow Gauge North on Sunday the 13th March (the exhibiton is also open on Saturday 12th, but we are not) We are having our now annual 'Diesel Gala' between 1.00pm and 5.00pm. Number 11, the working 10hp Baguley, will...

Just had a look at your picture. yes, that is particularly dreadful. I'd never really noticed it before. However, if it was painted grey the pigeon crap would look just as bad.

Justin, Why not send a letter to Network Rail? You clearly know what they should do. However I suspect they (like me) don't see it as too much of a problem in the grand scheme of what they have to deal with.

Caliwag, Leedstraindude, I am not a smoker, I hate smoking, the smell of it, the effects of it and people that think its clever. If you actually read what has been put, instead of just putting your two'pence in for the hell of it, you will see that I am not defending smoking in stations (as...

Diesels and Beer, I would have expected from an event with a title like that.

Don't get me wrong, I hate the smell of secondhand smoke as well, its a disgusting habbit. But I still maintain that if somebody lit up in Leeds station it would not affect my safety, and only barely affect my comfort. Nor would it leave a lingering smell on my clothing (unless I was standing...

Fine then, stand at the end of the ramp, and the most upwind end of the platform! But really, standing in Leeds station is like standing outside, theres that much wind passes through it. So unless you have a smoker standing within 2' of you and breathing directly onto your clothing, it won't...

A simple solution: Stand upwind.

Crikey! I post an innocent post about the 'for your comfort and safety, Leeds is a no smoking station' automatic announcement being annoying to me, and all war breaks out! I can only apologise, and hope that the various people who threw their toys out of the pram have calmed down and...

There are things about Leeds station that annoy me more. Like the constant announcement 'for your comfort and safety, Leeds is a no smoking station'. Comfort maybe, but how on earth would it be unsafe for anyone to smoke? I don't recall people dropping dead and suffering injuries all over the...

There is no part of any train that hangs below railhead level. Otherwise it'd smash into every point blade it passes over. Still not safe to lay in the 4' though.

The user ranks confused me when I joined, but then it doesn't take a lot to confuse me. Perhaps the confusion was because they were job descriptions, maybe something completely different such as loco classes would be less confusing but equally 'fun' (if you find it fun, that is). New members...

I also reccomend the Echills Wood Railway. I used to volunteer there a few years ago. I also reccomend the Beer Heights Light Railway at Pecorama.

#3 is a bunch of 108s not sure what all the 4-6-0s are, but I wish I did, they look very nice. #30 is of course a Royal Scot #36 is a Jubilee

Yeah right. Still won't be watching.
