  1. Great history here http://www.derbysulzers.com/australiabrcw.html including shots of them testing on BR metals hauling Mark I's and Gresley quad-art sets!
  2. Sadly so, but I'm glad it's being highlighted, and if FIFA got off the pot they could surely do more to fight it. Anyway, so will Trap stay now after last night? A win against part-timers shouldn't count for too much. Sweden getting a draw against the Germans is a kick in the nuts for us.
  3. Now now, while there are many problems in Football, rugby has its fair share of problems with racism too. There was the South African player who left Northampton over the summer after racist tweeting over Mo Farrah for instance. Without going off topic too much racism is a society and cultural problem, not one limited to certain sports.
  4. I have to agree with that statement, now the Serbian FA came out and accused Rose of 'Vulgar behaviour' http://www.football365.com/news/21554/8172802/Serbia-Deny-Racism That's just sickening.
  5. Kildare got one too, hideous! Good for freight though, esp on a Thursday morning-lunchtime.
  6. Unfortunately Trap is just the tip of the iceberg of the problem in this country. The whole structure of football needs to change here. Kids in junior teams are not being thought how to play properly, just boot the ball and 'get rid' rather than develop passing ability. Look at Croatia, a country the size of ourselves population wise and they produce so many technically gifted players. I know we have to compete with GAA and Rugby in Ireland, but improving the football culture and moving away from caveman tactics should be possible.
  7. Ibelieve the NRM will be doing another run of Deltics soon, keep an eye on their website. I love the Deltic, but the LMS diesels are still my favourites. When I get back on my feet properly financially I think I might invest in the JLTRT O gauge kits of them. http://www.justliketherealthing.co.uk/lms-10000-10001-o-gauge-diesel-loco-kit-p-160.html?cPath=46
  8. Not sure where you heard that? First lot due end of this month.

  10. Harry would be too busy trying to get English players in on loan, too much of a spiv. Keane would be a complete disaster on every level. The FAI don't like him and I bet some of the players don't either. He's not cut out for management. I think our best bet would be McCarthy back, but I'm sure he could do better and would tell them to stick it after the Saipan fall out. I reckon Patrick is right, it'll be someone like Coyle. Not sure how I feel about that, but they can't afford to sack Trap, so he won't be going anywhere yet. I might send in my CV on the off chance. I'd be cheaper than Trap, and I think I'd be better!
  11. Sure is, a special done for the National Railway Museum.
  12. They're Mark II air cons. The Mark 2a's have pressure vented windows ala Dave's picture of Enterprise stock on the previous page.
  13. A pic speaks 1,000 words T'other side gubbins Sorry for the poor pics.
  14. I do, and she's a beaut, great runner too Love my Deltic too, best British diesel model ever made in my opinion
  15. Good call, the Enterprise livery looks good, would be close to the mark and Silverfox are currently doing Hunslets. Something a bit different to add to your loco roster in time.
  16. They were bought second hand in the late 80s or early 90s from a scrap dealer in the UK (Vic Berry, who cut up some C Classes over there) so did not appear in Black and Tan. IR with the white stripes would've been the first livery.
  17. Report has been released on Armstrong. http://www.rte.ie/sport/cycling/2012/1010/341109-usada-report-proves-armstrong-used-drugs/ And Saville's name deserves everything it gets.
  18. There, that's better. Love the video of the 40, looks like you're sitting on the hill looking down...
  19. simply stunning, keep the good work coming!
