  1. Good start! Any more photos?
  2. Mindless idiots, the lot of them.
  3. Excellent video... thanks for posting it. Interesting to see the IR 'points' logos on the side of the second Craven. Can't remember seeing that before.
  4. Another Irish update from Mr Soloman: * Irish Steam at Mullingar; Dawn of the new Millenium
  5. Just watched the Al Mayo video... that Smooth-It stuff looks pretty good! Love the shades and textures he achieved.
  6. Everard Junction uploaded a handy tutorial on adding concreted areas last week: [video=youtube_share;-BihTpFUSGM]
  7. Your assumption is incorrect.
  8. I don't know what the story is, but at this stage E428 should probably have a tarpaulin draped over it to protect it from the elements...
  9. Some photos here from when I visited Dunsandle (and Moyasta) in 2010: http://www.flickr.com/photos/garfieldsghost/sets/72157625515951567/ Looks like no work has been undertaken on the stock since then...
  10. Don't tell her about making holes in the wall - just do it... she can't say no then!
  11. Excellent work, as always!
  12. The book is long out of print, but Martin Bott has both editions in stock: http://bottbooks.com/onlinebookshop/books.asp?mthd=srch
  13. Well known railway photographer Brian Solomon has posted a couple of entries on his blog with images from some of his visits here: * Sperry Train at Islandbridge Junction * Looking back on Irish railways 1998-2003
  14. Sounds like a plan. (Apologies for dragging the thread off topic)
  15. Not the pub, then?
  16. Looking forward to seeing the revised trackplan! I'd use timber-sleepered tracks in those sidings, especially the freight ones, as sidings don't tend to get relayed too often.
  17. As a guide, Atlas RS-11s seem to go for around $90 on eBay, which works out at €72/£57. That's for the undecorated version, though... not sure if the painted locos are more expensive.
  18. Thanks for posting that link - I'm listening to them now... excellent stuff.
  19. http://www.flickr.com/photos/13713567@N06/6942413195/in/set-72157629481589663/lightbox/ Note the pairs of 121s - black & tan matched with Supertrain!
  20. Excellent photos... is that a Spanish coach the locotracteur is hooked up to?
  21. No worries... thanks for posting the photos.
  22. Good stuff, Fran!
  23. Great photos, Kirley. Any more of the French layout?
  24. Six samples he provided in 1999 tested positive for EPO but he escaped sanctions because of technicalities. Interesting article here from the New York Times suggests the chickens were coming home to roost anyway... the supporting evidence is overwhelming at this stage: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/25/sports/cycling/antidoping-officials-move-to-wipe-out-armstrongs-titles.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&ref=sports
  25. I used to work for a company that was based along the Athlone Road in Longford. From where I sat I had a good view of the rail bridge there and the number of trucks that struck it was unbelievable... at least twice a week!
