    I like those road signs! Very well done. Do you print them on card?
  3. jhb171achill
    ........and make them memorise it. Snipers can come after that.

    Why, what did the oul pigs do to deserve that?
  5. jhb171achill
    Awful. Considering that I advocate snipers and electric fences for graffiti vandalism, it’s best not to print how I would deal with people like this.

    Truly awful news, was actually thinking of him this morning. A great loss to all here as well as his family, and an absolute gentleman. May he rest in peace.

    Anyone know which services this week and next are railcars and which DDs?
  8. jhb171achill
    Good news, that!

    A very well preserved colour slide from summer 1958 sees the afternoon local from Castletown West arriving at Dugort Harbour.

    Call in the sock livery experts….

    He's lost. He got to Ardglass, ran through the buffers, down the pier and into the sea. The train floated up at Greenore, was winched ashore, but someomne had left the brakes off, so - boom! She's off to Amiens Street. It seems that a quick-thinking signalman at Clogherhead Junction switched the points, thus avoiding a little bit of a mess at Amiens Street.

    Cat 1 says he eats his at 01:51; Cat 2 says she eats hers between 4 and 5 a.m., while Cat 3 says that she eats hers at 22:15. However, Cat 2 once ate hers at 02:00. So it's a yes.

    So it was in Belfast a mere four minutes??

    I have texted my daughter's cats on instagram to see if they agree.

    What is the fremo concept?

    One of Barry Carse's photos shows two of these at Thurles BFS. It is during the "campaign", so there were no less than three G class there at the same time; i think G613 and G611 were among them. The livery of one is indeterminate, as it is so filthy it may as well have been painted black, brown or pink and tartan for all anyone could see; buffers and all. Just wall-to-wall filth. The other one is plain unlined green, with black underframe, red buffers and red handrails.

    Indeed. Probably somewhere in Dublin or Cork, well outside actual railway premises.

    The font style in the English version is also highly unusual.

    Took the Enterprise yesterday afternoon to Belfast (16:50). It pulled into Platform 4 at central - never seen it do that before. A zebra up front - dunno which one. 10:35 this morning was a 6-ICR.

    Dang!!! I wanted that 0.6.0 but I’m out with tourists so haven’t had time to book it….

    An ICR to Achill - nice THERE’S an idea! I would be somewhat inclined to think that if Achill was open now we’d probably have a two car 28 on it, though! In general, though, the big issue with lines like these - Achill, Clifden and Valentia especially - is that they are too remote for generation of a financially self-supporting market.

    I hear ya, but I’m afraid I’m still with the snipers!
  24. jhb171achill
    Bottom line - if I ever see someone relieving themself on a Dart+, I will just look the other way. I won’t ring Joe Duffy or complain to IE!

    I must say it’s a pet hate of mine, to put it mildly; if I was to describe the measures I would apply to perpetrators, I’d be chucked off every online platform I am on with immediate effect!
