Bruhn tankers filled with TK Red lemonade, to go with the containers of Tayto!

Archive radio on the Harcourt Street line featured at the start of Bowman: Sunday show on Rte Radio1, 16/4/23 https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/bowman-sunday-830/

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!

Marks Models currently have the Expressway buses listed as in stock

Rails still in place on the Athlone one, so you could blast along that till you come to a short section where you would have to manhandle it across a tarmacced over piece

I have a KD, and the windows did the same thing on mine - looks like the glue let go. I was thinking that using 'glue & glaze' would be the job for 'sticking' them back into place. Anybody else here have the same thing happen to their KDs?

'Cute-hoorism' fail

I found this vid on youtube the other day - this is the replacement for the loco hauled sperry train: https://youtu.be/ktXShSjLmUA

I just thought of the band The Macc Lads as soon as Macclesfield was mentioned! With greats such as: "All day drinking" and "Beer and sex and chips and gravy"

Mentions the scale/gauge in both the item heading and description - 00

Reminds me of one of Al Bundy's songs from Married With Children: My wife will never cook or clean Still my money spends Who knew when I first chose my mate That she would put on that much weight Oh sex we'd like for sure If it only weren't with her Please K-I-L-L K-I-L-L Me, me, me

I only ride bikes, but my dad always comments on the price of bike parts whenever I would mention them. Economy of scale is still a perfectly valid point

Supply and demand I would suspect. Cost drops the more units being ordered - economy of scale. Same deal with motorbike parts vs car parts - car parts are way cheaper, due to the massive amounts being produced relative to motorbike parts. I'm sure if IRM ordered 500,000 sound chips, they'd be a lot cheaper per unit than they are currently!

Yeah, but seeing as they are in the bad hemisphere, it is their summer!

Colour looks fine in that shot of it in Cork

Start busting their chops over it!

Bit of art imitating life then?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvyIrsZ7Zhs

Also covered by Tim Traveller (great interesting vids btw): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPWgJ6-iHM0

Same heads that rolled in the first post on this thread!

Is there one of the transfer wagons (or narrow to 5'3 gauge) still in existence?

Hi all, I came across the vid below and thought it may be of interest: https://youtu.be/UzVdBsods0w

Here's a vid an Irish lad put together on it (I like this guys channel - interesting topics & good humour): https://youtu.be/BKATyrxez8A

plus £28 postage, plus approx £71 duty

Stick up an ad with a picture of The Square in Tallaght, with the title 'Pyramid for sale' lol!

From the same channel, the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on the Great Lakes is another one - I heard the song that was penned about the sinking late one night on the radio, and found it very moving https://youtu.be/U9jDNEtg8JY https://youtu.be/9vST6hVRj2A
