I first came across the odd/even number conundrum studying civil engineering, when the argument in favour of odd numbers was that the eye had something to rest on in the middle eg an odd number of arches in an overbridge.

Sligo would have been even more interesting had the GNR(I) extended its Bundoran branch to Sligo as originally intended in the Act of Parliament. However, that would, in all probability, have rendered the subsequent SLNCR line to Sligo unnecessary. One can but dream of the endless possibilities.

There always seems to be plenty available on eBay. They may be an old design/model but an interesting fact is that they run through code 75 pointwork no trouble at all.

The April issue of The Railway Magazine carries a piece about dualling the Limerick-Limerick Junction section, with the intention of reducing Dublin-Limerick journey times by a sizeable amount. This ties with the proposal for a regular Cork-Limerick train service, proposed by those involved with improving the road between Cork and Limerick. Interesting!

I suspect there will be a good many in awe of what you’re achieving. You should get the finished bodies scanned in order to produce printed versions for sale. Not everyone will have so many spare parts lying around.

The problem we find with Amazon is that, so very often, an item you want to purchase is said to eligible for free p&p but, when it comes to paying, a big fee is added. As a result, we tend to avoid the big A as much as possible.

A little while ago I produced a plan incorporating all the main elements of the latter day Waterford North, namely three through roads plus two bays. Because it wasn’t an accurate copy of the prototype, I called it Port Lairge.

What a fascinating YouTube video, albeit the sad process of track lifting. There is more information here about Killala station than I have seen anywhere before.
