Came across this online. PROSES PLB-902 Rotating Loco Cradle https://www.modellbahnshop-lippe.com/Tool/Tool/PROSES-PLB-902/gb/modell_225212.html I put mine in some pipe insulation or in a notch cut into three Pringles containers taped together. I suppose if this were fixed to a bench it would give good access. I suppose there are similar items out there but I just thought I would put this up. 86,00 €

NMJ The above are HO by NMJ and are €199 for the basic. Sound equipped is extra. They do other liveries as well. Here is the NMJ Topline Nohab Collection https://en.nmj.eu/nmj/nmj-nohab-collection.html?p=5

Like I said in the title, those road works and the inconvenience they cause with their detours.

Probably has them delivered in a gigantic Russian aircraft, which would be pretty sore on fuel. That would go someway to explaining the high cost.

€200 would see me throwing in my hand and exiting from the table.

Both Rails and Hattons are quoting £145.50 which equates to €162.38 at today's rate. Rails say the full MMRP is £167.5 which equates to €186.95.

Nothing to do with trains but some nice photos from January 2013. Despite the gloom it was before 12 noon.

Some years ago my wife and her sister took their mother shopping. One of the things on the list was a new bra for the mother in law. Anyway the expedition was made, the bra was bought and fitted and the old one dumped in the backseat of the car. There the bra lay in full view of anyone looking in the window. Of course I drove around and parked up for quite sometime without spotting the aforementioned garment. It finally came to light when I was in the local builder provider's yard and I went to fold down the seats. Enough said.

This has been on the go for years. You can see where the chain saw occasionally cuts the cross timbers but I just renew them as necessary. If you look at the "V" you should just make out the carpet gripper. The mainframe always stays intact.

Yep, small outfit who appreciate your custom.

Just thought I would put this up. RB Models in Tipperary still have some Murphy Model 201 class for sale. They have four models, 2x NIR blue and 2x Enterprise livery. It might save someone trawling EBAY if they want one. They are €180 each. I know the interest is on the forth coming "A"'s and 121's at the moment but it might benefit someone. Here is the link. I have no connection at all with the shop but I have bought some locos from them in the past .https://rbmodels.ie/product-category/trains/locomotives/

I have a foldable homemade wooden saw horse. I put lengths of carpet gripper into the "V" section to help grip the wood being sawn. Might be of interest to any DIYers out there

Great stuff!!

Have been self isolating here and will be for a couple of weeks yet, I've forgotten what female flesh looks like. Anyone else in the same situation and if so any advice you can offer?

You'd be able to move it around to catch the sun..

. . Could be Irish Rail selling off the real thing. Better check before paying. A couple of the real yokes would take up a bit of garden space. I'd love to hear the conversation with the mrs after the bubble wrap came off. .

There is a time and a place for "social distancing"

All I know is that it wasn't the OPEN UNIVERSITY!!! -
You know those nudey "educational" films on the internet that you sort of come across by accident? Well that accidentally happened to me and the wife came in (to the kitchen not the "educational" film). "Not much social distancing there." Says the wife. Kind of spoiled the film

Thankfully no, but if that is what the virus can do to people.....Imagine having to go into lockdown with a member of your family behaving like that (complete with shirt and maraccas).
