I've got one of those panels too!

I must investigate the insulators on the head of an old telegraph pole that is laying on the ground in a friend's housing estate, next to the old Athlone-Mullingar line
-
Nice one - just ordered the bundle of the two of them there
-
C class would be a winner in my books!
-
It's great to see it reassembled in it's new home. Very interesting to see the steel frame used for the supports - when I go to build a layout of my own, this would be the way I would go about supporting it, after seeing it first on Barrow Street!

Inchicore Works 175 Year Anniversary
skinner75 replied to Barl's topic in What's happening on the network?
Never been myself - I tried to go years ago to one, but missed the tour start time as I couldn't find the entrance to the Works in time! -

Perfect for testing out skills before tackling a large scale layout - looks amazing!

This screams scam to me! He's only on ebay since 2nd Feb this year too

Yep - bit daft if you ask me! -
Still 5 running Kriegslok WW2 locos running in Tuzla, Bosnia - 80 years service from a loco only designed to last 10 years! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH96yjd6BKU

Funny enough, I only watched a vid on youtube on this a couple of months ago! Great channel this guy has - he has a vid on the Lartigue railway too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGwjtjgiivE

It reminds me of the time when I was in college, we drove down to Spain. Coming back, we went through Andorra, and went mad on buying whiskey etc. When we were leaving, heading into France, the French police/border guards saw the Irish plate and pulled us over. Their eyes lit up when they saw the bottles of whiskey! We had to pay a 'fine' for each bottle, then, if we wanted to keep them, pay even more. As it was the end of the holiday, we had little cash, so we left the bottles with them... Kind of a foreshadowing of the Brexit customs since the UK became a 'third country'

Brexit - the gift that keeps on giving

make that 11

Nothing like a purpose built home for the layout! Construction looks great I built a block shed with my dad's help some years back, but it is dedicated to a workshop for my motorbikes. Maybe time to build another one...
-
That, and the shot where the exterior is from along the stretch around Bray head - the angle of what is passing by the window doesn't line up with the carriage! Are the carriage interior shots from a Cravens? Maybe one of the RPSI coaches was used.
-
Apparently this was on the Irish syllabus - long after I left school though! Seriously dark stuff I reckon. Footage of train arriving into Rathdrum (I think), and also arriving into Rathdrum at the end of the short!! Brendan Gleeson is in it "Cáca Milis" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW-tdaO2s9o

I think I remember an article in the IRRS journal in the last couple of years (could be more!) on mining in Avoca - I'll see if I can find it later
-
Got notification from Book Depository today that they have it in stock now, so order placed!
-
I just setup an email notification there on Book Depository to let me know when it is available to order
-
I just ordered one of the last two 'Bond' ones this morning
-
The prices are really good for the sound-fitted models too - would this be something that IRM could offer for Irish locos in the future?
-
UK stuff wouldn't be my bag, but it looks like another pure quality product. Loads of livery variations, a really long time in service, as well as slight body differences, makes it a good choice of loco to go for!
