Dublin Port Alexandra Basin
skinner75 replied to dave182's topic in What's happening on the network?
I heard on the radio that there is work taking place in the Alexandra Basin area of the docks to accommodate a larger 'Brexit-buster' cargo ship. The work will mean 50% less cruise ships docking in Dublin while the work is underway - tourism & other businesses that would make money from those onboard aren't too happy about it -
I think when leslie mentioned the electric motors being left in place, with the diesel engine acting as the generator, he meant that the new GM diesel engine drove the generator that provided the electricity to the electric motors (which were original to the loco when delivered from Metro-Vick)

Their website could do with an update, as two years with no update is really poor
-
Is there any update on the 121 from MM? No updates on their website that I can see
-
I've seen some pictures of the 'sound barrier' opposite Inchicore, where some of the 001/201 locos look like the tan/orange has faded to what looks like a shade of pink even

Very interesting - nice to see track renewal in the model form, just like the real thing! I've been meaning to get some G scale track down out in the garden, but haven't got around to it yet
-
Sorted Fran - nice one!
-
Balls - just ordered without fully reading the post above re the discount for those who ordered the other two packs. Sent an email/message using the Contact Us option on the IRM site just a minute ago

Same problem here - PM sent

Well, maybe he'll scrap the lot instead for the steel to make another tower block - save him having to buy in cheap Chinese steel!
-
A great thread full of info - should definetely be 'stickied' so it stays close to the top of the Workbench section for future reference
-
Lovely job on both the wagon & the container!
-
I remember the very same about the gangways when I was a kid - late 70s/early 80s. Loved it! I can remember the first day of the Dart - probably the only thing I liked about the Dart was pushing the button after it lit up to open the doors!
-
Ah sure 'The Donald' will sort that out - don't you know he's going to make America great again?
-
Didn't people bash the Dart before it was launched?

Snow tourists in Chelsea tractors should be banned
skinner75 replied to Noel's topic in Letting off Steam
I heard one lad in the canteen today recounting his tale to others of how on Saturday, he got into his car 'just to go for a drive'. Utter gobshite. He went on to say how he couldn't even get out of his estate. Midlands based I think. -
Just bear in mind that it isn't an insured service. They managed to lose a watch on my dad - got successfully delivered to Addresspal in St. Albans, but then disappeared
-
were they ever even made?

Yep - same here. Very enjoyable watching to round off the weekend. Simple idea running the loco backwards up the hill to stop the water going into the cylinders. I like seeing the problems, and how they overcome them
-
You gotta love the Russians playing with the UK like that - hail hail!!
-
Judging by the state of the loco in the picture, it had more than a couple of 'offs' over the course of the trip!
-
Me too - the appeal of long runs, or a large depot etc would be possible in N with the space most of us have available, unlike OO.

Just a heads up that on Channel 4 at 8pm tonight, starts a five part series on building a model railway in O gauge, to run from Fort William to Inverness. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/scotland-now/the-biggest-little-railway-world-11785187
