  1. It’ll be no good investing in a new passenger without tackling the ongoing flooding problem, says one who spent his working life trying to put right the folly of man of building in floodplains. Stephen
  2. My flabber has been well and truly ghasted. Stephen
  3. I particularly like the two views of Greystones station. I’ve a soft spot for the place. Thanks. Stephen
  4. 071’s seem to be getting good prices at present on eBay. Stephen
  5. Wonderful bit of news. Stephen
  6. Makes for interesting reading, but fails to mention two points: 1) Existing container traffic between Waterford and Ballina, and 2) Developing rail freight from Rosslare, currently only roll/off. I also thought the two parts of Ireland were looking to consider the rail in the whole country rather than separately. Stephen
  7. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. This getting old isn’t for wimps. Stephen
  8. The reference to Tony Miles reminds me that I had the opportunity to see Adavoyle at its the home in Shtopshire many years ago. What a lovely day. Stephen
  9. I got my email yesterday and am just waiting for the payment request. Stephen
  10. Look forward to the return of Ballyercall in its new guise. Stephen
  11. Absolutely delightful. Stephen Another gem. Stephen
  12. Looking good. Must order some open wagons and covered vans before it’s too late. Stephen
  13. Absolutely stunning. Stephen
  14. How any others, like me, were too slow at getting round to it and have found that it is sold out? When I asked about the possibility of a reprint, the answer came back that the minimum number was 100. So, if you missed out and still want a copy, get in touch with membership@irrs.ie and get the numbers up, please. Stephen
  15. I can only agree with the comments above. I think it is important for those of us, who know how railways used to operate, pass this knowledge on the next generations so that they can operate their model railways in the correct manner rather than just play trains, not that there is anything wrong with that. Stephen
  16. The trouble these days is that it is much easier for the Revenue to catch the little men rather than the big ones. One has only to look at the mega corporations, which shift money about legally, but unethically, to reduce their tax burden. Stephen
  17. Maedb looks fine out in the wilds. Stephen
  18. Delightful as ever. Keep up the good work. Stephen
  19. I couldn’t agree more about the C. If they were to do the AEC railcars, you could have the delightful sight of the CIE and GNR cousins side by side! Stephen
  20. Yet more 7mm standard gauge to tickle our fancies. Look forward to it. Stephen
  21. Interesting to see things so intact some while after closure. Stephen
  22. My order arrived safely yesterday. Thanks to all concerned. Stephen
  23. Looks all very good. Stephen
  24. Fast and tidy work. Looking good. Stephen
