  1. The class 25 freight set was my first train set, too... obtained second-hand after my mum's friend's sons had outgrown 'toys'. Soon followed by my dad's old Tri-ang stuff. I have one of those old Lima green Mk1s in its original box. How much are they worth, Dave?
  2. Didn't see the first half, so I can't comment on that... PS: hope Poland can scrape a result against Russia after the antics of the Russian fans today!
  3. Don't know about that... they've earned a point so far, which is more than we can say!
  4. On another day, that game would've finished 2-2 but it wasn't to be. Now we need to beat both Spain and Italy in order to progress, which I don't see happening. We had some unusual Trap decisions again... like bringing on Cox (an out-and-out forward if ever there was one) to play wide left instead of McLean. Something tells me Trap may step aside after this tournament. He can't get much more out of this group of players... and a lot of the central figures will be considering their futures at international level after Euro 2012.
  5. Nope, the RPSI locos are stabled at the end of the carraige/railcar sidings at the back of the station, beside the car park.
  6. Watching the Italy v Spain game at home, then heading to the pub to watch the Ireland match.
  7. In a somewhat bizarre move, it looks like Fabregas is starting up front for Spain tonight...
  8. Apart from Kerzhakov... he had a 'mare!

    Looking good, Des!
  10. What? There's no Euro 2012 thread yet? I'm shocked! Missed the opening game, but caught the Russia v Czech Republic match. The Russians looked a class act... but of course what the Czechs were really missing was a Richard Dunne in defence! Already getting butterflies in my stomach about the game on Sunday. Filmed these guys heading off in their van to Poland from Longford for the tournament... I've never been so jealous! http://www.longfordleader.ie/news/local/van-to-poznan-1-3933614
  11. I'll try and dig out details of who manufactured them... can't remember right now. Edit: just saw the pics of your hoppers and they look like they're the ballast hoppers Jouef produce. A different type to the ones NIR use...
  12. I'm biting my tongue here. It's bleeding now... may need to go to casualty...
  13. The Daily Mail didn't think much of the flame being brought south to Dublin: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2155401/If-irritated-carried-torch-look-away-Z-listers-Jedward-run-Olympic-flame--doing-IRELAND.html That rag is still stuck in the Stone Age...
  14. Nice... it really looks the part!
  15. Am I suffering from a case of déjà vu, or were these videos posted before? I think I need to lie down...
  16. The NIR ballast hoppers are ex-SNCF wagons. In model form, they were produced in a limited run, so getting hold of them is hard (I know, I've been trying to get some for my French project!).
  17. Boskonay needs one of these to take the pain out of track-laying on his layout!
  18. In 6 hours I'll be Corailing across France.
  19. Malwarebytes anti-malware tool is good...

    Looks great, Steve!
  21. Yep, nice footage!
  22. I'm sure a lot of coaches will carry the vinyls for a while longer. SNCF aren't exactly quick at repainting their stock! Sure there's still lots of blue diesels zooming around the place... that's like having locos here still wearing the Supertrain livery or NIR maroon!
  23. Yep, just a few months ago. I'm gonna miss the brightly-coloured Téoz coach rakes...
  24. It was already there
