Looks like they're standard 4-wheel flat wagons with open bodies mounted on them...
-
John, that's a work of art!
-
Ha, quality! Got to watch the opening ceremony in 3D because my dad recently splashed out and bought a fancy telly and surround sound. I was floored... a beautifully stunning work of creative vision and choreography. And a nice touch with the lighting of the flame, too.

Love that album, Dave, although I find myself listening to some of the later albums more (especially Trans-Europe Express, The Man-Machine, and Computer World). They had an eight-night residency in the Museum of Modern Art in New York a short while back where they played an entire album live each night... what I would've given to be there!

Heard a lot of negative comments about it alright. Still... there's no denying she's got some classic pop tunes up her sleeve (when she wears something with sleeves, that is)!

First NAMA property to bite the dust (video)
Garfield replied to Garfield's topic in Letting off Steam
The entire estate is a shambles. There are no sewage vents (which caused a methane build up which recently caused an explosion in one of the unoccupied houses), there are no fire hydrants and the whole project was built on land that's renowned for practically becoming a lake in wintertime. Footpaths are crumbling and last week two houses had to be evacuated because of dangerously high carbon monoxide levels. Some serious blunders made at several different stages, even before the first sod was turned! -
http://www.longfordleader.ie/news/local/video-report-demolition-of-gleann-riada-apartment-block-commences-1-4075467 Goes to show how shoddy some of the Celtic Tiger workmanship was... this building would've been a death-trap if it had ever been occupied. (PS: yes, that's me talking )

Murphy Models 112 Finished sample
Garfield replied to modelshopbelfast.com's topic in Model Shop Belfast
Tasty! Beautiful attention to detail... including the IÉ orange backing on the marker lights! -
A fleet of Connolly MPDs... makes a change from fleets of MM 141s! Excellent work!
-
Gotta love Blondie - still a great live act, too.
-
Fixed your post!

Some fab scenic modelling there!

I've moved the retailers and pricing conversation to a seperate thread as it had dragged this one completely off topic. Click here to go to it. Garfieldsghost

Looking good! You've got a nice space there with that shed... looks cosy, too. Great to see a lot of people here using helixes (or helices?) - they really do help to maximise the space available.

Improving the looks for MM 141/181
Garfield replied to Flying Scotsman 4472's topic in Tips & Tricks
Dave, were those pieces not geared towards easy railing of stock before a running session? -
I'll actually be picking up a few bits and pieces, plus extra apps, for iPhone filming, as I use the phone for some of my work now. It's handier than lugging a camera around all the time. I know of at least one TV news reporter who's produced news packages using an iPhone and the results are amazing...

If you're shooting with your smart phone, this is handy and costs peanuts: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/New-Tripod-Stand-Mount-Holder-Apple-iPhone-4S-4G-3G-iPod-Touch-4-Black-/170872048524?pt=UK_Holders_Mounts&hash=item27c8c48b8c Hope they lay ballast better than the real ones do at the moment!

Brilliant!

Now let's see you weather a loco that's recently been through the washer!
-
Sure, with his skills he could build his own... ...rain might cause some problems, though!
-
A pint of plain is your only man.

Export models like GM's G8 were available at the same time, John, but I think that discussion is for another thread... I think the only reason the B class order went ahead in the end was because CIE were told to do something with the engines or BRCW would dispose of them because they were taking up useful storage space.
-
Yep, he made it quite clear he wasn't impressed with British diesels. It's even more astonishing that CIÉ decided to persevere with the order considering that Bulleid would've seen a lot of the UK diesels close up at the end of his time with British Railways (and had two prototype diesel locos of his own built)...
