  3. Did they ever double-head that yoke?
  4. A friend was drinking cans of this the other day - €2 a can in Dunnes
  5. Found this on Adverts - may be just what is missing from someone's railway room!: https://www.adverts.ie/other-antiques-collectables/antique-and-collectibles/30297790
  6. Cost of buying the extra land to extend to 4 lines between Malahide & Connolly would be quite the sum I'd wager!

    They'll work out at a nice price per signal with that charge on top!
  8. Came across this today - may be no more than wishful thinking, but still https://www.galwaybeo.ie/news/galway-news/closed-irish-rail-line-track-8448347
  9. Ooh - smoke generator fitted on the top end models. This would be a great feature on a 121/141/181
  10. I really hope they don't electrify all lines here - I hate the look of overhead wires, and you can't pretend you are 'back in the day' when there are overhead wires above a steam loco for example! Then you read about something like this below, and think 'the planet is screwed': https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/09/mind-boggling-methane-emissions-from-turkmenistan-revealed
  11. WinRar will do the job on Windows, available at: https://www.win-rar.com/
  12. 'It's only temporary unless it works' as the saying goes!
  13. Only remembered when I was down the pub last night! Oh well, at least I can watch it on the RTE Player later this evening (link below) https://www.rte.ie/player/series/nationwide/SI0000001172?epguid=IH10000974-23-0041
  14. Bruhn tankers filled with TK Red lemonade, to go with the containers of Tayto!
  15. Archive radio on the Harcourt Street line featured at the start of Bowman: Sunday show on Rte Radio1, 16/4/23 https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/bowman-sunday-830/
  16. Looks like the 'cute-hoor' loophole has been closed!: https://www.thedrive.com/news/absurd-200-foot-railway-demolished-after-court-closes-shipping-loophole Surely one of the easiest real life railways to model, by far!
  17. Marks Models currently have the Expressway buses listed as in stock
  18. Rails still in place on the Athlone one, so you could blast along that till you come to a short section where you would have to manhandle it across a tarmacced over piece
  19. I have a KD, and the windows did the same thing on mine - looks like the glue let go. I was thinking that using 'glue & glaze' would be the job for 'sticking' them back into place. Anybody else here have the same thing happen to their KDs?

    'Cute-hoorism' fail
  21. I found this vid on youtube the other day - this is the replacement for the loco hauled sperry train: https://youtu.be/ktXShSjLmUA
  22. I just thought of the band The Macc Lads as soon as Macclesfield was mentioned! With greats such as: "All day drinking" and "Beer and sex and chips and gravy"
  23. Mentions the scale/gauge in both the item heading and description - 00
