Surely there are safeguards in place to prevent such head on collision ?

Sorry but I've only ever contacted them on Twitter.

Human error it would seem. The station master of Larissa has been arrested & charged. There's a piece on it here. https://www.rte.ie/news/europe/2023/0301/1359527-greece-train/

Have you contacted An Post. They're usually very quick to reply if you contact them on Twitter.

I used DHL from Hattons & it arrived in two days. I also used Royal Mail from Hattons at the same time & it took two months

I think they're accepting international packages again. I got a signed for package from Hatton's yesterday. Only took 2 months

I took the DHL option for another larger package & had it in two days which was great. Up to now I have always found that Royal Mail were pretty good with the signed for stuff & most of the problems I had were with An Post.

That might still arrive ? Hattons sent me a package on Dec 5th which was never seen again. Claim gone in for compensation now.

I presume you took a spin on the Schwebebahn suspension monorail (dingle dangle railway)

They really are a disaster Makes An Post seem world class.

I have both Tortoise & Dcc Concepts Ip digital on my layout. They both work fine without any problem. I have about 50 points motors. Dcc Concepts & Tortoise point motors come in a few different varieties depending whether you are controlling them in DC or DCC. If you're just going to control them with DC then the Dcc Concept COBALT IP ANALOG will possibly work out cheaper. Here are a couple of links from Coastal Dcc showing the different kinds of motor & the price. I have no connection with this company but have found them brilliant to deal with. Just scroll down through the pages. https://www.coastaldcc.co.uk/products/circuitron/ https://www.coastaldcc.co.uk/products/dccconcepts/point-motors/

Happy Christmas everyone. Hope you get everything you wished for

Remember Bob Symes programs well. Had the pleasure of meeting him at a rail festival in Budapest back in the early 2000's. A lovely man to talk to & a real gent. RIP.

It varies. If you're charged vat by Irish customs just send an email to Hattons with a copy of the receipt & they will refund you the vat they charged straight away. I've always found Hattons very reliable & have been using them for years.

Its the funny season again

I lit a fire a while ago but that means the children will go to bed hungry tonight

There was a tv series called "Drop the Dead Donkey" Maybe that was filmed on the Nile

Only the center axle unit is screwed in.

And about £100 in duty & postage. They'll be waiting

I have a Kia Niro Hybrid & the best I have got so far is 3.8 litres per 100 km. Before that I had a Kia Soul which did 5 lts per 100 km.

That they may be left with them. Even if I could afford them I wouldn't buy them.

If you ordered the unit through Amazon the you can claim a refund because of non delivery.

You could try the Gaugemaster Combo from Hattons for 38 UK pounds. Simple but very good.

Just an An Post mess up as usual I just wish they'd train their staff properly.

That sounds like a lovely day out George. Pity I'm so far away It has its plus points living down here but also has its disadvantages.
