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

Off the beaten track is still on YouTube. I saw one by chance only a few nights ago. It may be easier to link to it from Google etc as I can't seem to copy a link from the YouTube app on my iPad. They're about 30 mins in length and I remember several on there including Waterford to Dungarvan, Cork to Blarney, Scarva to Newcastle and Stranorlor to Glenties, I think
Here's the channel on youtube with Off the Beaten Track:

Greenways were not even thought of back in Ireland of the 1960's... or 70's for that matter unless by accident rather than design, converting the alignments of old railways into roads for motor traffic was dabbled with.
mores the pity!

Looks likely the Valentia branch or at least a portion of it will get to be a greenway with CPOs.
If only there was this attitude to railway preservation in the ROI as there is with the current greenway 'mania'.
If the same had been done back in the day, how many lines that were taken up would now be able to be reinstated now, and not have had housing estates or shopping centres built on them? A greenway doesn't prevent the line from being reopened years down the line, when it would have to be relaid anyway, so no bad thing IMO

don't shout?

Had a quick look - seems handy enough. The Bachmann 00 track codes all tally, though I don't think they have all the track listed (no Y point).
Handy to not have to go installing anything, and just run in the browser. Should be easier for letting others take a look at plans & make comments too

Not ebay, but Adverts - some track & a Hymek plus two coaches. For those who are into those hideous Hymek repaints!

One day, maybe. Plenty to focus on first like our current projects and whatever comes up in the meantime. And sure MM may surprise us yet. I personally can't wait to see the 121s myself.
They'll go well either in pairs, or in a mixed pair with MM 141/181 - or even single! Should sell like hotcakes. Not that a 201/001 class wouldn't either!

shame he is not on adverts.ie - at least there he could be 'baited' in the comments section

I used to be able to remember and pronounce this 40 years ago. The 'phonetic' underneath does not sound correct.
I thought Llan is pronounced 'clan' - no?

We'll have to pass around the hat and send jhb on an interweb driving course.
nah - a whip round for a non-Apple phone would do the trick I reckon.

more then likely going to be priced well out of reach of
the ordinary punter?
but it will be nice!!Prices start at £2,338 per person for the 2 day trip

I went for a Hakko FX-888D soldering station - very good range of temps supported, along with a variety of tips. Price ain't bad either.
You can also get them with an analogue dial for temp selection instead of the digital display if you prefer.
Temperature range 120° - 899°F (50° - 480°C)
Digital display shows °F or °C
Maintains idle temperature within 1.8°F (1°C) when set to 400 - 899°F (200 - 480°C)
Ceramic heating element and sensor ensures rapid heat-up temperature and fast thermal recovery
Password protected temperature setting
Pre-set mode allows you to store up to five (5) pre-set temperatures
Slender, lightweight ergonomic iron handles
Compact design takes up less bench space
Wide selection of tips available for soldering SMD and through-hole applications
Use with Hakko T18 series tips
ESD Safe

He'd be doing well as I have not seen that Mk2 in stock in Marks for a very long time. That's a very rare Mk2.
Ah right so - just remembered Marks having a sale on Irish stuff a week or so ago, and thought the Mk2s were on it. It was Cravens I saw now I think of it
-
Gave this dude a little broadside, he didnt like it one little bit, got a bit shirty
Told him Marks had some for €50, not a happy little bunny
I see he still has his Bachmann Irish set at £245
Scumbag probably went and ordered more stock from Marks after you told him!
-
Not bad at all!
-
It is indeed pricey - but, as others have said, better a pricey model which needs detail improvement - than none at all!
True! Steam wouldn't be my thing - I'm still delighted with the good news on the 121 front from MM!
-
Really annoys me, Garfield. Nothing I do - including following good advice given here - works. It's actually putting me off posting a lot of stuff.
two things to try:
1 - Sell iphone/ipad & get an Android phone/tablet
or
2 - Turn whatever you want to take a photo of upside down!
-
There's a mention of it in this months Model Rail. Pricey at £255/£265 though!
but it will be nice!!
Evans quits Top Gear
in Letting off Steam

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.
