  1. Like Tik Tok so - full of shite for the illiterate, pre-teens with ADHD
  2. Possibly the Brennan Monorail system?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUYzuAJeg3M a pretty crazy idea, which I only discovered for the first time over Christmas
  3. Ah, thanks Leslie - I've fired off a mail now to get access, as I am a member of the IRRS. In the mail, I have also mentioned that the IRRS are free to use any of the pics I have from previous ITG tours - same to folk on here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/renniks75/albums/
  4. One of the ITG tours "The Blue Thunderer" I took pics of, on my Flickr page: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjCreAVE There are albums with other ITG tours there as well
  5. Even after resetting my Flickr password, I am getting a 403 error - no permission to view the page. Hey ho...
  6. Xmas - the 'holiday' formally known as Twittermas
  7. Some info on it here: https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/08/polish_trains_geofenced_allegation/
  8. Still looks way more legit than the Lima repaint of the Class 25 with its three window panes!
  9. Take pictures instead of videos would be a good start
  10. For fans of narrow gauge rail, here's some vids of action on a sugar cane railway in East Java: https://youtu.be/xUpEd3SINB4?si=HiwCDphq_kyNnjfl https://youtu.be/ixaEYunKOtE?si=I-B6Fpr2ML28UjIW

  11. Short vid guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3_j6WrhvB0
  12. Nothing worse than a splinter/sliver when it gets deep into the skin - also shows the importance of eye protection when using those wire wheels
  13. Turf is a rubbish fuel - terribly low efficiency compared to coal. Bullied gave it a go, but even with the turf soaked in oil, it still wasn't great
  14. At the same time, there's a guy in Germany selling stuff at fairly reasonable prices, plus postage is low and there is no chance of getting hit with the 'Brexit bonus' either! https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?item=364564898642&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l2562&_ssn=magr216967
  15. One of the ITG tours (possibly the Suir Thing, 9th Oct 2004)- I was on that one. I think tour loco 085 was swapped out there for 152 + 190 off the cement
  16. Were the VDL the ones that had some chassis issue, which led to them being stored in Inchicore for a while?
  17. Link for the bus model didn't work for me either, and I can't find it listed on the site anywhere. The VDL wouldn't be my bag though - just happy to find the Atlantean book, with part two due next year too
  18. I wasn't even aware of their site! Ordered a couple of books straight off
  19. Got all four this morning - stunning! Really happy that the 16A was one of the route numbers, as this was one of my local bus routes when I was a kid
  20. I emailed him, as I had gave him deposits on 4 of them back in March
  21. As dad says, a hybrid has the problems of both systems. The beauty of fully electric is you get rid of the parts that cause trouble with ICE cars. Also, the recent fire in Luton carpark looks like it was caused by a hybrid Range Rover, not a fully electric job. Plenty of craic with hydrogen too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-toRJseb_o0&t=42s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kxnjB7l3bE&t=16s
  22. Last shot looks like the standard of rail you'd see on a branch line in the States!
