    Anyone any idea whether the car license plates are from NI or ROI? Just wondering if the Donegal attitude was the same back then as it is now - buy car in NI, then don't bother getting a ROI plate on it

    I came across this while surfing Youtube yesterday - impressive stuff! Makes sense with the distances involved, and that the line is freight only. Some amount of wagons being hauled for sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf5iBbmas2w

    Unless there was a drop in the price of zinc & it makes more sense to sit on it till the price comes back up

    They mentioned the price of zinc currently being low, so no point in mining something if the return isn't great

    Looks like the Taras may not be seen for a while... https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2023/0614/1389062-tara-mines/

    Dunno about lids, but looks like a red Tara with blue graffiti to me

    Found this on Adverts - may be just what is missing from someone's railway room!: https://www.adverts.ie/other-antiques-collectables/antique-and-collectibles/30297790

    Cost of buying the extra land to extend to 4 lines between Malahide & Connolly would be quite the sum I'd wager!

    They'll work out at a nice price per signal with that charge on top!

    Came across this today - may be no more than wishful thinking, but still https://www.galwaybeo.ie/news/galway-news/closed-irish-rail-line-track-8448347

    Ooh - smoke generator fitted on the top end models. This would be a great feature on a 121/141/181

    I really hope they don't electrify all lines here - I hate the look of overhead wires, and you can't pretend you are 'back in the day' when there are overhead wires above a steam loco for example! Then you read about something like this below, and think 'the planet is screwed': https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/09/mind-boggling-methane-emissions-from-turkmenistan-revealed

    Only remembered when I was down the pub last night! Oh well, at least I can watch it on the RTE Player later this evening (link below) https://www.rte.ie/player/series/nationwide/SI0000001172?epguid=IH10000974-23-0041

    Looks like the 'cute-hoor' loophole has been closed!: https://www.thedrive.com/news/absurd-200-foot-railway-demolished-after-court-closes-shipping-loophole Surely one of the easiest real life railways to model, by far!
