  1. Ah ok, it's probably been 15~20 years since I was there last!
  2. Kilrush to Kilkee is being done first - afaik, the railway hadn't got that far, so no harm yet
  3. The London branch of IRRS are doing a Zoom meeting this Friday at 6pm on the SLNCR, real & modelled
  4. Thanks, but I don't do Facebook
  5. Can't see that link
  6. Speaking of Barrack Street, I came across this vid the other night (the start is a slideshow, but goes into video later): https://youtu.be/A0hXzVPfhvY?si=x5QfJpweflM4hcsG
  7. Order for replacement of 1980s Dart trains comes after years of indecision and delay – IrishCycle.com https://share.google/ZcXmqecPeUx3AqrL2
  8. No doubt them RMweb admins running a DDOS attack on us here!
  9. On the pic above with 113, what are the two devices on the rails?
  10. Link to the story on a non-rag website: https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/1215/1549100-conamara-galway/
  11. I came across this story on my phone, and thought it'd be interesting to people here: https://www.con-telegraph.ie/2025/12/07/unique-history-of-mayos-railway-network-from-times-past/
  12. I had a Meccano crane set back in the 80s & had great fun building the various cranes
  13. AI has a problem with peoples hands too
  14. Better than having to go halfway across the country to change trains for sure!

  17. Only the cement bubbles & H vans in stock, as far as the Irish stock goes
  18. I remember around mid 80s, the dad of a friend from up the road running a fleet of Hino trucks from out of a yard near Croke Park. He got me one of the Hino winged grill badges, which I stuck on the door of my room
  19. I avoid sea, rivers, canals, lakes - any more water than the shower is not for me! If I had kids, I'd show them Jaws and Piranha movies from a very young age, and tell them that the sea around Ireland has killer sharks, and that the rivers & lakes are full of piranha - that should keep them away from the waters!
  20. I've a lovely brass one at home
  21. the gift that keeps on giving!
  22. I got in touch with Derek by email & he let me know that the only one still available to preorder was the CIE Dart KC111 on route 101, which I duly placed an order for one!
  23. April 26 for preordering these? I've not preordered one from him as yet. I can't access that Facebook group/page either, so no way of preordering if that is the only way to do so
