    I picked up a copy of the book below. Each story is only a page or two long, but is a great read! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Railway-Ghosts-Phantoms-W-B-Herbert-x/dp/0715397834

    probably a bag of cans on the deadmans switch! ;-)

    Maybe he bought the Irish stock seperately & put them in this box?

    Bad, but not as bad as Tyco Racing were hit: http://www.britishsuperbike.com/news/four-tyco-bmw-race-bikes-stolen/

    Where can you buy the Mr Soundguy chips from? No links or shop on his own site

    I plan to make it along - been dying to see inside the place since I moved down here 5 years ago!

    Here's a shop on Shapeways doing 3d printed Irish locos/carriages/wagons in N, and OO gauge: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/valvedesign

    Old Lima Metro-Vick 125 here from Italy, in case anyone is looking for one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lima-HO-1-87-IRELAND-Irish-Railways-CIE-Metro-Vick-125-/361755451167?hash=item543a4e1f1f:g:cwMAAOSwmLlX8jMw

    Poor match I thought - plenty of loose passing straight to the opposition by both sides. Mayo missing that last point at the end of the match that could have taken them to extra time was criminal, as was Dublin missing the point just minutes beforehand. Give it another 65 years and try again Mayo

    You could get close to the state of most of the bubbles by spraying them with glue & dipping them in a bowl of flour I reckon!

    I've heard they have around 4000 bookings for it at present

    Hi all, This popped up as a suggestion for me on Facebook. Had a quick look, and thought it may be of interest to people here! http://www.digikeijs.de/catalogsearch/result/?q=Dr5000

    I think I'll have to be content with a Deutz repaint, some wagons, and a coach in black n tan - run as a branchline.

    Just remember that you stand a chance of getting hit with duty on stuff coming in from outside the EU. Not funny that they include the cost of postage along with the cost of the item when working out the amount of duty you pay - typically 30% on top
  16. skinner75
    Yes please! I'd be interested to see what is out there. I know a Deutz G is available in DB colours

    First I've heard of it! But then I don't even know my own blood type

    Great news alright - he is really annoying! I think they should have changed up the format of the show more. Evans is just reading the script Clarkson would have read, and it doesn't work. I like LeBlanc, and Chris Harris is great for handling/reviewing the Super/Hypercars. My brother was showing me his reviews on Youtube a couple of years ago, and they are really professional. I like the rallycross lap rather than the old standard track lap for the stars, and it is good to have two on together.

    addresspal.ie from AnPost is handy too. Pickup from your local postoffice, for €3.50, but €25 if it is over 20kg or 72cm X 31cm X 25cm

    I recorded it, and will give it a look tonight. I wouldn't be a fan of Chris Evans either. The car shows I tend to go for a lot more are the likes of Car SOS or Wheeler Dealers, where a regular car is brought back from being in a sorry state, to full health

    More great cameos down at The Junction! Love it

    I was thinking - will it be handed over to the RPSI for use on their diesel tours? Just like the 141/142 were repainted before handover. Either way, it's a lovely way for IE to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a classic loco.

    Wasn't IK used in Dublin? I can remember mid seventies deckers here in Dublin with BIK registration plates
