Warbonnet

Would be interested to Dave, looking forward to seeing them.

Great news Seamus, best of luck with them!

Sure is Anthony, need to get a roco model and stick a sound chip in her!

Well after the disappointment of our performances in Poland I almost forgot about the Euro 2012 liveries, but here is the Irish one along with the rest. Looks like they just repainted an older loco instead of a new Taurus. http://pasazer.utk.gov.pl/portal/pas/189/1572/Podpisz_sie_na_lokomotywie_Polska_na_Euro.html

Wabash SD70ACe, another winner http://railpictures.net/photo/401245

He didn't rich, unfortunately. I think he was involved in the first two albums only and there's a bit of a ding dong going on between himself and Lydon over the name at the moment I believe.

This arrived yesterday, CAN, 'The Lost Tapes' three CD boxed set of previously lost material. Very nice. Been my commute to and from work music today. Also picked up Pil's new album last week, still have to have a proper listen though.

Just got home to see this video. Oh hell yes!

Last train in this video

They're impressive machines alright Rich. No manufacturer does the most modern incarnation of the GE Gevo yet, but I think these heritage paints will change that. Both Athearn and MTH will be doing the SD70ACes at some point I'm sure. Overland Brass are doing a limited run of all the locos, maybe if I win the lotto I'll sign up! Both locos are big rivals but share common parts, like the air dryer filters (saleem I believe) and even the windscreens. The railroad companies hold big sway when it comes to demanding common parts. I like the GEVOs and have a couple of Intermountain BNSF locos, but the ACes sheer ugliness is more impressive and wins out for me!

The Duchess was out again yesterday As was another favourite of mine, the unique Duke of Gloucester. I have a feeling that the Duke might be the subject of my first kit built steam loco someday... And for diesel fans there was a couple of DRS 20s running on another railtour

Sure does! Late addition to the programme, Monongahela Gevo, the 15th heritage loco done so far! http://www.railpictures.net/photo/400702

Right so, if we're going down that road (mind you, I'm a lover of many sports, including football and cycling) Bert Trautmann, goalkeeper for Man City who in 1956 broke his neck and played on, pulling off crucial saves to help Man City win the FA Cup. Was also in the Luftwaffe but managed to get an OBE. Now that's not a wimp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Trautmann And I'll buy you a 201 if any of you goes up to Roy Keane and tell him that he's a wimp. Now children, I'm taking my ball and going home. I think one of you's peed in the sandpit.

All this 'my injury is better than your injury' nonsense is more akin to kids in a schoolyard than grown adults. That said, the above quote has been the most sensible viewpoint on a trivial matter. Well said Rich.

And Mr. Armstrong has just been charged with doping... http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/armstrong-charged-with-doping-by-usada

A nice look around the inside of the Pennsy GEVO

Latest Premier League managerial casualty, Mr. Harry Redknapp. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jun/13/harry-redknapp-sacked-tottenham-hotspur

Macs are for posers, and not infallible. And the worst Microsoft operating system thus far has to be ME.

Sounds like a cooked chip to me.

I'd be grand, it's poor Brendan's backside I'd be worried about...

And handrail stanchions! (Yes I know I need to get you a pic, I just wish I had better access to a 141!) Nice turned brass horns would be lovely as Anthony says, and better wipers.

Would love to see that outdoor layout. The stock must be worth a fortune. Do they still sell Marklin there Dave? I know the shop is still there selling cameras. Was in it years ago, seemed like a nice guy.

Bring that 73 too, want a closer look at it, make sure you haven't been cheating!
