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?

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"

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 -

See I have to disagree with you there, a bike battery costs less than a car battery, etc etc, I have both, technology is rapidly changing and DCC will too.
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

Yes I really don't understand why sound chips are so expensive, a techy friend of mine who is in the radio business reckons that he can make a sound chip for about €30, research is ongoing.
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!

Yeah, but seeing as they are in the bad hemisphere, it is their summer!

Royal Mail are all over the place.
Royal Mail tracking says my package from Hattons is in Milton Keynes.
Well news flash to Royal Mail.
The package is on my kitchen table in South Kerry
Start busting their chops over it!

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!

Is there one of the transfer wagons (or narrow to 5'3 gauge) still in existence?

On the bus front - can we have millions and millions of Van Hool Atlanteans pretty please?!?!? Loads of livery variations, just like the Volvos

The Fanta brand name has an interesting history.
It was conceived as an alternative to Coca Cola when US sanctions against Nazi Germany caused supply difficulties.
Here's a vid an Irish lad put together on it (I like this guys channel - interesting topics & good humour):

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

Fairly ancient but fairly common here.
I suppose the climate must help keep the rust at bay, prolonging a vehicles usable lifespan

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
