Doesn't say much people's commitment to things generally, either

Yesterday yielded a successful cutting of the board I’ll use. Yeah it’s not the best bit of plywood you have ever seen but it will do the job just fine. I didn’t have a great workshop, nor are my skills at woodwork anywhere near as good as they should be. So it was off the Beal Na Blath where a better equips man and workshop was waiting the plywood came from the farmyard surplus of off cuts. Once twas sanded and rounded at the edges it was perfect. The lamp bracket came from an Irish rail lamp that was thrown in the skip, recovered from said skip and kindly given to me holes were countersunk into the peice so we could use a very strong adhesive to directly glue the headboard design onto the plywood many thanks to Micheal Lenton for helping me out with this one. -
Used a selection of Dart Castings rabbits, ducks, swans etc. to keep viewers interested when exhibiting a small end to end layout 20 odd years ago. The different animal species were listed on the layout fascia. Families with small kits used to get more entertainment out of searching for and counting the rabbits and ducks than watching the trains! Rabbits and ducks have gone into hiding but swans have taken up residence for the past 10-12 years in the river on the Irish Narrow gauge layout -
The most depressing part about the state of 467a - if it is that carriage - is that it was in running order when delivered by rail to Mallow. It was either the Cork or Limerick breakdown van - I forget which without digging out my notes - but it is a sorry indictment of preservation in the Republic.
