Open House Dublin 4th -6th Oct 2013

This event which is organised by The Irish Architecture Foundation on the first weekend of October every year opens up buildings around Dublin City to the public , this year event covers 100 buildings highlights from a transport viewpoint are .

1. The Directors House Broadstone Railway Station by John Mulvany.

2. Connolly Station .

3. Donnybrook Bus Garage.

The highlight for me last year was undoubtedly Donnybrook Bus Garage by Michael Scott completed in 1952. The tour was made even better by the insightful and informative Dublin bus staff giving the tours, if you want to find out what Donnybrook bus garage and Sydney Opera house have in common then go along and find out . Also some persevered buses are on display.

RAL2011 is more Modern IE orange, the older CIE orange would be RAL2010 Signal orange, Holts car paint HOR03 is very close to it and should be off the shelf in most good motor factors .

Well not wanting to sound a tad too techenical thats hand cleaner ???

So

Will a coconut lubricate a flange?

Well put simply No , having consulted various railway books , techicnal and otherwise , coconut oil harvested from coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) can be used as engine oil in come cases as a bio fuel in tropical countries, correct flange lubraction would require grease

as opposed to oil, anyway our climate is sadly lacking in palm trees , there was one beside the railway at Howth a number of years ago but I never saw any coconuts hanging from it

Thurles early sixties?
