    I have a generator in the boiler house that I can fire up to run the oil burner & pump if the power goes. Plan is eventually to wire it back to the fuseboard, so I can run the whole house off it if needs be

    This article on the tunnel popped up on my newsfeed. Pretty interesting that the same engineering firm were working on the white bridge in Athlone at the same time. https://www.echolive.ie/corklives/arid-41555227.html

    Be better off filling a wagon with battery packs & connect that up to the loco instead. Have a fresh charged battery wagon at the other end of the run

    Reminds me a bit of the Airfix Saab Vigen kit I had as a kid, and used the grill of the cooker as a 'hanger'...

    Were the staff catchers ever used on the 101 class? Looks daft having the recess for the staff catcher, with no catcher installed

    I'm guessing the same - not long to wait at least!!

    The way the seats mount to the walls, and not the floor, will make cleaning the floor real handy that's for sure

    Glad to have one of these at home even more, after hearing that!

    Maybe used to provide a 'smooth' supply to prevent flickering of the lights then?

    That's a capacitor - holds a charge, to keep the lights running in case of dead spots on the track

    I can't remember steam era, so would have absolutely zero interest in any steam loco releases. I can remember the C class hauling carriages before the DART came along. I remember my uncle taking me on the Dart on the first day. I take the modern railcars, so they are valid for me to order/run

    Gertie Browne's pub here in Athlone still has the remains of a G scale track mounted up high in the bar, but I never saw it in action.

    Did NIR not spec the 3000 & 4000 railcars to haul freight?

    Browser-based game Trainstation - has Baby GMs - 201 class also, but I don't have a screenshot of one, but looks the part
