  1. You mean they look something like O'Leary would get a 12 year old to draw up, and give him a pittance for - just like the original Swine Air website (with horrible layout & dayglo colours everywhere) - designed by a teenager for a few quid

    Old CIE ads

  3. Lovely little shed scene that with the lights on the depot
  4. Just had a look in the shed the other day, and it is actually from 130! I've asked my dad to bring it down with him this weekend, as there's a spot for it in my garage
  5. and considering that none of them come with the box!
  6. Yery nice! I have one of the panels from a 121 class at home, wll, in my dad's shed! It was autioned off by the ITG some years back to raise money for their loco funds. As far as I can remember, it is from 126, and has 'Suitable for hauling air-braked trains' on it. I must ask him to pop it in the boot the next time he is dropping over to me
  7. Great video! I'd say there are plenty of wonderful video footage in the RTE archive.
  8. On RTE1 tonight at 19.30 - 21st Century Railways (may be a repeat though)
  9. Another bridge strike, in Cork this time: http://www.broadsheet.ie/2013/07/03/meanwhile-in-cork-33/?fb_source=pubv1
  10. Yippee! I've ordered 111 & 8113 from you - 077 & 085 will have to wait another month!

    Nice one to keep for the future
  12. Wow - some layout! I can see why it'd take 16years to get it to this level - stunning
  13. Very nice!
  14. Very very tasty! The new livery certainly has grown on me. I do love the previous silver & black too though
  15. I find it funny that they go ballistic - excuse the pun - over the printed gun, yet wouldn't bring in checks for crazy people / criminals when buying guns. As you say - protecting the arms industries interests. Also funny are those who think that their right to bear arms will help them fight against the government should they get out of line - maybe back in the day of muskets, but all the small arms in the world won't do much against tanks/drones/jets/attack helicompters/missiles etc, should the government want to put down any group that gets uppity - Waco being an example
  16. 'Take off and nuke the site from orbit - it's the only way to be sure' AKA - format, and reinstall the laptop from scratch, giving the young lad a clip around the ear for messing it up in the first place!
  17. any idea what the four, what look like grilles, above the cab windows of the two locos in the second last row from the back are?
  18. That's what I thought - gives a great sense of speed moving along the line
  19. Came across this on twistedsifter.com, and then found some more links. Amazing that so much is still extant in a large modern capital city! There are some lovely brick lined cuttings in places http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemin_de_fer_de_Petite_Ceinture Video of the route made up of stills pieced together (those arty French!): Not modelling I know, but thought it may interest some
  20. Kits are a great idea - especially if it keeps the cost down to allow assembly of a prototypical train length without breaking the bank!
  21. sweet as a nut - love the smoothed cab front
  22. Going to have to get 8113 - always had a soft spot for the look of the larger yellow panel compared to the other two
  23. Great photos - lovely atmosphere. I loved the old black & white tiles in Heuston
