The beauty of public transport is that the return on investment benefits the state most of all. The only way a private operator can get a good return is by slashing cost and increasing prices as they don't have the 'macro' benefits that a public transportation system bring to the country as a whole. As a confirmed capitalist I do believe public transport should be a public investment but that they should be run with a 'business' bias rather than the current trade unionised logjam. Average 54k salaries are few and far between in any sector these days.

Was a mention in the bargain watch thread too. Great value for money. Clearly subsidized.

Nice review 33lima - I agree, I picked one up for the young fellas 'thomas' selection - well worth the 6 euro!

Absolutely stunning Congratulations again - she's a classic!

Re-listing the questions for those lazier than me New ones: 1. What (pre-GSR) railway company had the Irish langauge featured in their coat of arms? 2. What was the only location where all 6 patterns of miniature ETS could be found, and no, it's not Castlerea! 3. How many rail termini had Cork city, like? 4. According to legend, what item did OVS Bulleid propose to put in every CIE loco cab, but loco crews objected to his proposal?

Any video warbonnet?!?!

Victoria Road rerouted up the river to Albert Road, so that's two then?

Victoria Road Terminus ?

Very very nice work Steve!±

TV ads, in Easons and many good magazine shops for about 6 EURO, and you get a nice unnumbered MK1

Likewise! I just lost an hour rereading that thread! Stunning work and variety.

The trunking looks brilliant too - which type is it (wills?)

Picked up my pair of beauties earlier - they are absolutely stunning and highly recommended! Huge congratulations to Brian on the effort, time and dedication needed to produce such a top-drawer model.
