Single point of failure with a loco though, compared to a railcar set with multiple smaller engines

I remember having a basic Airfix one of those when I was a kid.
Thought it was a good idea to use the top oven as a 'hanger' - unfortunately, it hadn't cooled down enough, and one of the wings got a bit 'melty'...

I came across the page below, but it doesn't appear to have the Belfast-Dublin:

which is ironic as its the most land-locked county in Ireland because (fun fact) Laois is the only county that has two counties between it and the sea in every direction!
Apart from if you head south, there is only Kilkenny between Laois and the sea!
There are no counties as far as I can see where in some direction, there is only one county between it and the sea

I can remember a lot of the 70's Van Hool busses in Dublin having a reg with BIK in it, and also cars with ZV.
So much easier with the modern license plates!

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

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...

Is that actually a blue Tara, or a red Tara with blue graffiti?
It's the lid that is throwing me off. It's definitely not a G1 lid, and the G2 lid change and red repainting probably happened at the same time.
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!:

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

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

I remember seeing it on the Green line when it was under construction now you mention it & posted the pic in its previous livery
Anyone else think that GPX Rail sounds like an American railroad company?
