  1. 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
  2. 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
  4. I found this vid on youtube the other day - this is the replacement for the loco hauled sperry train: https://youtu.be/ktXShSjLmUA
  5. 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"
  6. Mentions the scale/gauge in both the item heading and description - 00
  7. Reminds me of one of Al Bundy's songs from Married With Children: My wife will never cook or clean Still my money spends Who knew when I first chose my mate That she would put on that much weight Oh sex we'd like for sure If it only weren't with her Please K-I-L-L K-I-L-L Me, me, me
  8. I only ride bikes, but my dad always comments on the price of bike parts whenever I would mention them. Economy of scale is still a perfectly valid point
  9. Supply and demand I would suspect. Cost drops the more units being ordered - economy of scale. Same deal with motorbike parts vs car parts - car parts are way cheaper, due to the massive amounts being produced relative to motorbike parts. I'm sure if IRM ordered 500,000 sound chips, they'd be a lot cheaper per unit than they are currently!
  10. Yeah, but seeing as they are in the bad hemisphere, it is their summer!
  11. Colour looks fine in that shot of it in Cork

    Start busting their chops over it!
  13. Bit of art imitating life then?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvyIrsZ7Zhs
  14. Roe & Co. whiskey is based in what was the old power building in the sprawling Guinness complex. My dad told me that they used the the steam from the brewing process to generate electricity back in the day - a forerunner of todays modern combined heat & power plants? Powers Johns Lane is a nice drop of 'medicine' too btw!
  15. Also covered by Tim Traveller (great interesting vids btw): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPWgJ6-iHM0
  16. Same heads that rolled in the first post on this thread!
  17. Is there one of the transfer wagons (or narrow to 5'3 gauge) still in existence?
  18. On the bus front - can we have millions and millions of Van Hool Atlanteans pretty please?!?!? Loads of livery variations, just like the Volvos
  19. Hi all, I came across the vid below and thought it may be of interest: https://youtu.be/UzVdBsods0w
  20. Here's a vid an Irish lad put together on it (I like this guys channel - interesting topics & good humour): https://youtu.be/BKATyrxez8A
  21. plus £28 postage, plus approx £71 duty
  22. Stick up an ad with a picture of The Square in Tallaght, with the title 'Pyramid for sale' lol!
  23. From the same channel, the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on the Great Lakes is another one - I heard the song that was penned about the sinking late one night on the radio, and found it very moving https://youtu.be/U9jDNEtg8JY https://youtu.be/9vST6hVRj2A
  24. I suppose the climate must help keep the rust at bay, prolonging a vehicles usable lifespan
  25. Fingers crossed it is steam - so my bank account can recover!!
