    I can't see any of those pics when I click the links for some reason

    How long would it take to get to Letterkenny at any rate - 4 hours? Mad for their cars up there anyway - especially the ones with the yellow rear plates on them...

    Shame Murphy's Models website hasn't been updated in a long long time

    I spotted a repro sign on either Donedeal or Adverts a few days ago - railway was spelt 'ralway' on it... If you are going to make fake railway signs, at least run the text through a spell-checker first!

    Interesting. I take it that the reason for double-heading on such a short train is incase of a loco failure?

    I only watched this last night about the Apollo missions - some craic on Apollo 12!: https://youtu.be/tX3tJb5WUjE

    I've been in IT support for 25+ years - this gave me a chuckle!:

    I remember seeing it on the Green line when it was under construction now you mention it & posted the pic in its previous livery Anyone else think that GPX Rail sounds like an American railroad company?

    My brother sent me on this pic, taken in Osberstown Industrial estate in Naas. The home of GPX Rail (https://gpxrail.com/)

    Plus brexit tax if you are in the EU don't forget

    Single point of failure with a loco though, compared to a railcar set with multiple smaller engines

    I remember having a basic Airfix one of those when I was a kid. Thought it was a good idea to use the top oven as a 'hanger' - unfortunately, it hadn't cooled down enough, and one of the wings got a bit 'melty'...

    I came across the page below, but it doesn't appear to have the Belfast-Dublin: https://digital-rails.com/wordpress/2020/09/09/making-tracks-routes/

    Apart from if you head south, there is only Kilkenny between Laois and the sea! There are no counties as far as I can see where in some direction, there is only one county between it and the sea

    I can remember a lot of the 70's Van Hool busses in Dublin having a reg with BIK in it, and also cars with ZV. So much easier with the modern license plates!
  19. skinner75
    Anyone any idea whether the car license plates are from NI or ROI? Just wondering if the Donegal attitude was the same back then as it is now - buy car in NI, then don't bother getting a ROI plate on it

    I came across this while surfing Youtube yesterday - impressive stuff! Makes sense with the distances involved, and that the line is freight only. Some amount of wagons being hauled for sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf5iBbmas2w

    May make for an interesting place to visit if you are in Berlin for a weekend city break: https://youtu.be/PDKyQo-I5NY

    Unless there was a drop in the price of zinc & it makes more sense to sit on it till the price comes back up
  24. skinner75
    They mentioned the price of zinc currently being low, so no point in mining something if the return isn't great

    Looks like the Taras may not be seen for a while... https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2023/0614/1389062-tara-mines/
