GSR 800

Only one way to settle this..

You sure mate? Look pretty even to me...

Apparently, the radar that "detected" the train actually detected ice patterns... However the area they are digging in could still hold a train, as there are several tunnels coming from the castle nearby, which Hitler planned as a secret base ...

Here it is.. A little bit railway related.....

At Raheny, I got one of Leslie's new H vans Came home, sat down at the bench, opened it up, and inspected the (excellent detail) Decide to make a start at it, look up at my shelf: no glue(feck!) Anyway, here are some pics of the kit. The pics dont do it justice The chassis.. The brake lever casting... End body castings.. The body sides.. The roof.. Looks like an excellent kit, and very well detailed. Well done to Leslie and Provincial models=D

Leslie already does them..

I'm coming for yez.....

Alright, I don't know where JB is,so I'll debunk it myself.. Firstly we will go through the Pro's of this conspiracy, and then the cons This wouldn't be the first time this happened, there was a certain switchero of two GNR locos to prevent ( or delay) the scrapping of the local favorite loco. Meadbh was withdrawn before Macha, so they could have been scrapping her when the preservation team said, we want to save her, CIE were like "whoops. Ah we will just give em Macha with Maebhs name/number plates. Cons The main one. Meadbh was sitting in Thurles, in 1961-2 having been repainted, while Macha was still doing Any work she could find. The timeline doesn't really matchup. And I can't see CIE bother their arse doing some sorta elaborate scheme like that. Next time, I debunk the illuminati conspiracy theory Spoiler alert Reason one: it's utter crap some Internet troll invented in his Moms basement..

Good lord that's beautiful.. Fantastic news lads,another excellent wagon on the production line.

i think James Randi..i mean JHB could debunk or prove this..

A DOUBLE HEADED 800!?...that must have been the single most awesome thing ever seen by anyone ever! that guard should have got slapped with a fish.. But seriously Leslie, Thank you very much, this info is very interesting(not to mention AWESOME) if you can find that pic I'll buy another corrugate..or a H van I'm still waiting for my Hood...

Well at least they went for the good stuff, and not that pound shop glue with half a cows hoof still in it..

Didn't you hear? Their spit roasting a pig too...

I have a feeling you might lose a pound of flesh Kev..

That's very interesting Leslie,.. She might have hung around for another year or two, lying idle most of the time(like Macha) doing the occasional freight until the beet season came.. She would have been out of service by late 59/60? Macha, meanwhile was out of service at glanmire road until 62/3, when she was retubed for a rail tour This one, probably She looks in fairly bad Shape at this stage..a sad sight

'This is the IRM home service, and this is the news' The IRM moderator known as Garfieldsghost, or Pat has made a statement that an important announcement is to be made at about 9pm tonight, so folks make sure to tune in to frequency 800 for the important message. In other news I had to save a sheep that got stuck in a fence..

So this pic would be taken before she was in Thurles...wonder if she was ever used between the period of this pic and 64 If not, Macha was the last 800 to see service..

Maybe in 20 or 30 years we will see one being built by some kind of trust I'd love to see a J26 A Bandon would be very useful in preservation too...

I don't think it could possibly get worse than seeing an 800 in the scrap line...

I would have loved to see that myself.. The other thing I'd like to have seen is the double, or even triple heading out of at kilbarry, along with an 800 defieing Irish train logic..

Not anymore says you! Although that sounds like something early season Sheldon would say...

Why!?.. http://www.flickriver.com/places/Ireland/Dublin/Dublin+10/recent/ About half way down..jaysus..

certainly a strange one... i wonder if there are any from the West..the folk being quite superstitious

This is appropriate for the situation...
