  1. sorry to hear that project to bring global peace didn’t work out
  2. Excellent David - pushing the frontiers again…..very distinctive vehicles. Railcars/railbuses are dead easy to build so an extra challenge will help sustain interest
  3. And the livery is spot on for May 1956. Even the headlamp code is correct for class B train.
  4. Very nice. That front 3/4 at Manorhamilton was a photographer’s favourite I think. Looks like 2pm goods from Enniskillen
  5. He’s busy elsewhere. He’s so angry about Gt Victoria St being replaced they even named the project after him.
  6. That’s one thing we don’t lack. Values are everywhere - everyone has them. But it’s an economic term: values have no hard or fast standing and can change. And we all value things differently…. What we increasingly lack are virtues, I think.
  7. I was intrigued - https://www.thedrive.com/news/37188/michelin-built-this-freakish-10-wheeled-citroen-to-test-truck-tires-at-110-mph
  8. Much as I hate the place, with its deterministic aisles to force shoppers on a certain route, it is an ideal place for acquiring cheap baseboards - my ‘Abohill’ diorama being one. Whole RM web threads are devoted to its products .and my own modest Irish layout rests firmly on IKEA foundations..
  9. Totally agree Brendan. It’s 7mm scale for me so pretty much all scratch but that 5’3” look is worth it and nowhere as hard as you might think.
  10. Well, my drawing purchase has just landed. For obvious commercial reasons I won’t post the images here! Suffice to say they are top notch and incredibly well done. Even if you aren’t a scratch builder they would be a nice bit of wall art. No connection other than satisfied customer.
  11. Yep. Any romantic ideas you have about 50s Ireland killed stone dead! Grimly real.
  12. The reference to the dance hall is a nice bit of colour and I can just see the evening workings from Drogheda… although of course Ireland’s premier and legendary ‘Ballroom of Romance’ was located on Ireland’s premier and legendary railway, within walking distance of Glenfarne station on the SLNC…..the movie it inspired in 1982 is still wonderful….
  13. Could be a through working from Navan and the Meath Road…..
