About 25 years ago, in the flatter south bit of Derbyshire near the Trent, a bloke got fed up of people raiding his shed for tools and stuff. So he rigged up a sawn off shotgun and a tripwire to tonimartinate the next intruder. Which, he having forgotten about it, was his good self. Apart from shooting his own wibbly bits off, he got several years for the illegal weapon. Leek & Manifold... it wouldn't have worked even if it had started from Leek rather than the middle of nowhere. A bit of an ego trip by a competent engineer but a poor economist, and not helped by the lead and copper mines that were supposed to supply the traffic being shut even before it was built. -
Might do. Want to give it a go? -
Interesting to see the resemblance to the 59s in the more squat windows and inset horns. I imagine it wouldn't be particularly hard to recreate with an old Hornby 59 and some Plasticard and filler to flatten the lower front. Also, I assume that's supposed to be between Killiney and Dalkey but it is a little funny to imagine that the IRRS were simply optimistic enough to believe Bray Head would be double-tracked before 1994! https://www.flickr.com/photos/northernblue109/6992812547 not a full DD set but certainly nice to look at

If it helps I use this for doing my 21mm gauge wheelsets now. It is superb, and costs the same as in Germany, as the manufacturer deducts the VAT for export to the UK. He responds very quickly to enquiries in perfect English. Until I purchased this I was using the hammer method. https://www.fohrmann.com/en/wheel-spacer-h0.html As for wobbly wheelsets, I have had a few go like that with the IRM bogie wagons,, and a couple wrecked and replaced by spare axles from IRM bogies purchased on their own. The non insulated wheelset is a very tight fit. But the IRM B4/B4 bogies have caused no such problem, I have done 6 coaches worth to date, the axle length on the insulated sleeve remains the same, as the wheels are moved out on the axles. Hopefully this is clear in the picture I uploaded. -
I was in a pub once, when the subject of reasonable force/ self-defence came up. The landlord loudly declared that "If they try that here, I will just shoot the miscreants!" The sergeant was sitting next to me, having a quiet pint and suggested "Well, if you do, make sure you ring me before you ring us." And, he didn't actually say "miscreants", of course...
