  1. We had to give Bayley renal medication by syringe every day and he played his part by co-operating and making it so easy for us to help him. No other one of our 12+ cats has been so good like that. Enough about our love for our feline friends, let’s get back to Irish railway modelling. Never before has there been so much support for such a small market. Long may it continue. Stephen
  2. Thanks for your thoughts on reducing the role of kidney failure in feline deaths, very interesting. We did something similar for our Bayley and managed to keep him alive and comfortable for a good few years. He was a lovely boy and we still miss him. His passing left a big hole in our lives. Stephen
  3. I take my hat off to you, sir, for your services to the felines of the Canaries. We had three Bengals, Lily will be 16 later this year, Bayley was 13 when we lost him to kidney failure two years ago, while Lucas will be 12 later this year. Stephen
  4. Yes indeed. Stephen
  5. PM sent. Stephen
  6. I like the cats. Are they orientals/foreigns? Stephen
  7. Some more lovely photos, keep them coming. Merry Christmas. Stephen
  8. I spent my working life dealing with river and sea flooding. The sandbags may only give limited relief but it will allow time to lift vulnerable equipment out of the way of the flood water. Make sure you know what is irreplaceable and what is not. Stephen
  9. The old route is clear apart from the building in the centre of the photo. They can always be a problem. Stephen Stephen
  10. Had a wonderful day at the Warley show yesterday, purchased a much sought after copy of IRRS Journal from Leslie, viewed the new IRM products and spent a long time at Ballyconnell Road, truly a wonderful model railway. All it needs is GNR(I) railcar set to complete the scene, and maybe a CIE one as well. Stephen
  11. Try bradytommy101@gmail.com. Stephen
  12. I’ve never tried one myself but I have read elsewhere that they can drive you mad. Brilliant job. Stephen
  13. The brake gear under the Palvans was different to that on the Bulleid underframes. Stephen
  14. They look the DB’s. You lovely people. Stephen
  15. C/201 class in its many guises and liveries. Stephen
  16. Wasn’t the third class 80 set used on the reintroduced Dublin-Maynooth service? Stephen
  17. Or what about Waterford North with five routes and eight platforms. Stephen
  18. Can only agree with the comments immediately above. Stephen
  19. One of many excellent histories of the railways Ireland. Thoroughly recommended as a read. Stephen
  20. When she had her overhaul at Tuam, she received a new boiler courtesy of the SVR. Stephen
  21. To anyone involved in the early of getting a heritage railway off the ground, these photos evoke powerful memories. Lovely to see. Stephen
  22. A lovely video. There’s an interesting reference to the role of the Stormont government in the closure programme of the 1950’s. It wasn’t interested in anything outside of the six counties, very inward looking. I’m not sure if that view has changed in some parts of unionism. Apologies if I have strayed into a no-go area but it was part of the video. Stephen
  23. Sold out. Stephen
