    I came across this story on my phone, and thought it'd be interesting to people here: https://www.con-telegraph.ie/2025/12/07/unique-history-of-mayos-railway-network-from-times-past/

    Only the cement bubbles & H vans in stock, as far as the Irish stock goes

    I remember around mid 80s, the dad of a friend from up the road running a fleet of Hino trucks from out of a yard near Croke Park. He got me one of the Hino winged grill badges, which I stuck on the door of my room

    I avoid sea, rivers, canals, lakes - any more water than the shower is not for me! If I had kids, I'd show them Jaws and Piranha movies from a very young age, and tell them that the sea around Ireland has killer sharks, and that the rivers & lakes are full of piranha - that should keep them away from the waters!

    I got in touch with Derek by email & he let me know that the only one still available to preorder was the CIE Dart KC111 on route 101, which I duly placed an order for one!

    April 26 for preordering these? I've not preordered one from him as yet. I can't access that Facebook group/page either, so no way of preordering if that is the only way to do so

    What about the Dapol Sentinel 4 wheel steam shunter that was released a few years back? It was released in several liveries too. Perfect as a small shunter on a small layout, as it was the same size as a wagon Old thread on it here: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/164-dapol-sentinel/

    With the orange clown in charge in the USA, that debt will skyrocket, plus US bonds have to offer a greater return, as they aren't considered as a good safe bet with said orange lunatic at the helm.

    On Kingscourt, I used to go out with a girl from there around 15 years back, and remember visiting the old station building while the tracks were still in place. I found some old square freight shipping slips in the old office, which I have somewhere up the attic

    https://www.discoverboynevalley.ie/plan-your-visit/things-to-do/boyne-valley-lakelands-greenway Even if the greenway hadn't replaced the track/trackbed, the rails would've all needed to be lifted & replaced, plus ballast replacement. Athlone-Mullingar would be the same
