Would anyone know the exact retail price for the 071/111 yet? I want to start scraping my cents together and hopefully get one before they screw us all completely with their next budget. I wonder what they cost a piece from GM in 1976?
Thanks waffles for the heads up on a great evening. Well done to Ciaran on a most informative and interesting presentation of Norman McAdam's superb GNR photos. A very enjoyable evening with the concentration only interrupted momentarily by the distinctive horn of a 201 class arriving in from Cork.
A few shots from the RAIU/RAIB reports of some recent incidents. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt. 2900 DMU off the road after landslide near Wicklow, Summit Tunnel derailment and the final snap shot from onboard cam before a 22000 DMU makes contact with a car on a crossing near Galway.
Hi all,
Just wondering would anyone have spare track for sale? Looking for straights, approx 6 metres - mixture of shorts and longs be fine. Small number of curves would also be good. Many thanks.
Thanks Wiggy,
I never would have guessed that they were those kind of weights. No wonder that truck was pushed onto the pavement and had its cab torn off. Also that recent tangle with a Dublin Bus left the Double Decker with half of its side gone. Motorists and pedestrians would need to have much more respect around those trams and stay well clear.
Thanks heirflick and Boskonay, love the tune myself and must get down to see the diesels! on the WCR soon. Will post a video of some moving trains shortly, if I ever get the tracks clean enough to stop trains from coming to unplanned, abrupt halts!
