    T gauge is also available

    Kind of makes you wish it was the chocolate Aero concrete that's a ticking timebomb in so many British public buildings at the moment!

    I can't wait to convert these to 21mm. Big box of P4 profile coach wheels just waiting here...... They'll go well with the three Murphy RPSI Mk2s.

    Having the pony truck rammed in so close to the front drivers does give the engine a quite ungainly look

    Now I understand it even less.

    Grease is the word.

    I was last in Luzern in 2006, and still haven't quite worked out how Buchli drive actually works. Maybe some madmen might try to recreate the LMS Turbomotive in full size....

    A fair few MG EVs in London - the Uber cab drivers are increasingly going around in MG5 EV estates, which look like a cross between a Toyota and a VW Passat.

    I'm curious as to why there aren't additional CCTV/ANPR cameras situated on the road approaches to each crossing. Then you'd at least have a chance of working out who the eejits at the wheel are. Currently they all seem to be getting off scot-free when they shouldn't even be behind the wheel.

    The ends only need to be prised upwards as the side clips are being released.

    Er.....the nameplate definitely reads Lough Erne...

    Interesting to see the Glenties line starter mounted on the bridge - the cable wheel and vertical cable run still visible on the footbridge wall. The arm does have a bit of a droop, suggesting that tension has been lost.... I think the starter signal is still in existence today, exhibited inside the Talyllyn Railway museum at Tywyn.

    Remove the bogie outer frames - they pull off. Unclip the baseplate - there are four clips to be levered out with a screwdriver blade. That's it. See my post here

    I thought the whole point of a greenway was to ensure the railway never came back.

    One thing they're all good at is kicking the can down the road....

    Scale flanges on scale rail, at the right gauge, are generally an improvement. Some people in the past have managed to turn down flanges just by using a file with the wheel mounted in an ordinary drill, but I'd suspect the results might be a bit inconsistent unless you're careful to constantly measure whilst the work is underway.

    All done now. Looks the business.

    What d'ye think lubricates the gears in IRM diesel geartrains?

    I wonder if that RTÉ money is still resting in Ryan Tubridy's account?

    The Tim Traveller channel is highly entertaining in its own right. Listen for his themed musical accompaniments in the background!

    35018 was also the first Bulleid pacific to be rebuilt

    You'll still get the tell-tale "chirrup" in the rails as the train approaches.

    "Ted, I think he's a bit cold now that his towel's fallen off...." What I liked about Donegal Town "Diamond" most is that it only has three sides.....which makes it a triangle.

    ....until the next overseas government biological "experiment"....

    You could have a newsagent selling the "Portadown News"
