Tarabuses

I don't think the SLNCR ever became part of CIE as it crossed the border into Fermanagh. It closed because the GNR to Enniskillen ceased to exist.

There has not been a finished model made of the E class but there have been two kits. The first was by Fanfare Models (later released by Ryanbus) and the second by Jim Poots. Neither would be available now unless found second hand.

Was the non appearance of the smaller planes the reason for some others going around two or three times?

That is a very interesting model of the Carvair. I hadn't seen it before. Wasn't the plane a converted DC4?

Yes, the weather was kind and the display was excellent.

Yes, it was to be released today.

So what cloud level would scupper the fly past?

I see there is also a Wright Gemini 2 casting in a new code sequence. The basis for a GT model in the future, Brian?

Barry Kenny was on the radio yesterday evening defending these changes.

Unfortunately I will be out of the country this weekend and will miss it........again

I haven't come accross Ladybird Models before. Pricey enough with £10 postage on top. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIMA-IRISH-RAIL-MK2-INTERCITY-COACH-RN-5102-/321189273677?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4ac85f604d#ht_163wt_1162 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIMA-IRISH-RAIL-MK2-INTERCITY-COACH-RN-5228-/321189270554?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4ac85f541a#ht_163wt_1162 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIMA-IRISH-RAIL-MK3-INTERCITY-COACH-RN-7135-/321189262152?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4ac85f3348#ht_163wt_1162 Which reminds me that it is a long time since I have seen any ladybirds in the garden.

Dated 23 July 1984 by any chance?

There must have been a shortage of news for this idea to be dragged up again.

Yes, that is quite a transformation from previous photos.

Apart from the loco it looked like a scene from the Wild West.

Great to hear they have arrived and they are looking good.

Yes, this is a surprise.

As with bridge strikes, it seems the skip lorry driver didn't know the width of his vehicle.

Yes, dreadful. That cctv footage leaves little doubt as to what happened.

It is strange to think that you know who your next 3 rulers will be, maybe until the next century !

26 counties and none begin with B

Do you have any arrangements for overseas purchasers, Brian? You are mentioned in the Corgi Collectors magazine and it has raised a lot of interest.

461 looks very exposed on that siding. Great photos though.

The newscaster seemed convinced

You certainly have been working hard on that layout. It is a great achievement already.
