    • I'll have to dig up that IRRS journal now. Needless to say I won't be modelling Clements on the footplate in his jocks!
    • Fab work Harry. And a large cab for Bob to dry off in if required. On one infamous occasion a CIE crew picked him up soaked to the skin. He proceeded to strip to the skin and dried himself off at the firebox  as the loco bowled along through the midlands……
    • And so it was, in 1956 Bob Clements delighted himself in the arrival of no.800 Maedbh hauling the Up Mail on trial on the Midland, having been evicted from her working on the Cork line by the new diesels. Having made her connection with both the Up and Down Galway Mail, G2 no. 664, prepares to depart with her train, with one of the new tin van TPOs, to Sligo.   Duly ordered!
    • Maybe that's his 'doctor' with him.  He's like a modern day version of The Six Million Dollar Man. He should really consider donating his body to medical science when he finally kicks the bucket. 
    • Marklin are a separate system working off 3-rail, so their products are generally incompatible with other marques. Historically, German manufactured model trains were significantly better than their UK counterparts- and correspondingly expensive! As a one time collector I always felt Fleischmann and Trix were a little bit above Roco and Liliput in quality, but that’s probably changed !
