Good call, Richie... two excellent websites!

Photographic Website Updates
Garfield replied to thewanderer's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
Always thought that IÉ ditched the 'Arrow' brand prematurely. It was a snappy name for commuter services that complimented 'Dart' nicely... -
I'm not entirely sure what scripts the forum software uses, but it would be worth checking to ensure you have the latest updates for various add-ons such as Java, Flash, etc.

CNN are taking the California Zephyr route across the US, picking up stories and getting reaction along the way in the lead up to the presidential election: http://www.journalism.co.uk/news/cnn-newsroom-on-the-rails-reporting-from-a-train-across-america/s2/a550977/

Here's one for all you grizzly truckers... (via Things Organised Neatly)

Meant to say... it was good to meet ttc0169 again, and got to say a quick hello to Wrenn, who was busy selling models to the assembled masses. I could say the same about you!

This weeks updates
Garfield replied to Flying Scotsman 4472's topic in What's happening on the network?
Aye... it meant I had the honour of travelling via Newcomen Junction when I got the train up from Longford for the exhibition -
Had a great time at the show yesterday... got to see some fabulous modelling (the 7mm scale NCC layout was the cream of the crop), got to say hello to Weshty and see the excellent work he's done on the Sulzer, and met Glenderg and saw the drawings for a little project he's working on for me. It was great to see such a good turnout to support the show.

Lovely loco, Fran. Spotted one running on the HO scale American layout at the show and it looked stunning!
-
That tamper looks the business! Sorry to hear about your loss, TTC. Good to have you back.
-
Cheers for the info, Eiretrains!
-
Yep, that's possible... although I dread to think what would happen if the truck took a tight corner with a top-heavy load like that!
-
My first thought was that it was an experimental beet wagon as well. However, I've a sneaking suspicion it could've been intended for mineral traffic, such as the Tara Mines zinc. It wouldn't necessary have been designed to dump between the rails with that setup... the plan could have been to de-mount using a crane and swing over a the hold of a waiting ship, etc.

That's excellent news about Fotopic... hopefully a lot of photographers out there can restore their online collections. -
"Reports that Pikey Mikey has been spotted under the track again" "Oh yeah? Going to notch 8..."

Actually, the class 67 would be subject to even more restrictions than the 201 class if it were to run here, because it has a higher axle loading... Class 67: weighs 90 tonnes / 4 axles / axle loading = 22.5 tonnes 201 Class: weighs 112 toones / 6 axles / axle loading = 18.67 tonnes The Per Way lads wouldn't like the look of that at all!
-
It could've been the case that one or both locos were required for another duty at the far end if the line... better to send them up there on a revenue-earning service and offset some of the running costs and keep a path clear, rather than sending them up light.

It was the "watch out for the tosser" part that made me spit out my tea...

Murphy Models 071 - New, detailed pre-production photos added!
Garfield replied to Admin's topic in Irish Models
It's not a toy, it's a model! -
It's coming along nicely, Fran!

[video=youtube_share;wv26PvdEdTw] [video=youtube_share;ygebprPOTvY] It only feels like yesterday... Baby GMs, Cravens, Mk3s, push-pull sets, ammonia trains, bell liners, cement bubbles, the boat train reversing into the station...
-
No matter how often I look through this thread, I never cease to be amazed by the standard of the work that goes into create these models. Truly, truly amazing!
-
Glad you got sorted!
-
No problem... let us know if it works.

Try downloading a program called Handbrake (www.handbrake.fr), which you can use to convert the Quicktime file into a format such as mp4, then try that file in Movie Maker. In Handbrake, select the file you want to convert, then in the right-hand column under 'Devices', select 'Universal', then click 'start'.
