Top tip from the storage master... nice one, Dave! Never would have guessed plastic boxes would do that.

Never knew you sold bananas, Dave...

Folks, this topic is already 'borderline' as political discussion is prohibited under the forum's rules and guidelines but I'm willing to give some leeway as long as talk is confined to rail-related issues, and specifically ones relating to this particular topic. (see rules here: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/79-Website-Guidelines-Rules). However, any more references to other policies, ideologies, bankers, etc. etc. will earn you a slap on the wrist.

Modeller's visit to the Downpatrick & Co Down Railway
Garfield replied to jhb171achill's topic in What's On?
Thanks to JB for organising the visit, and to all at the Downpatrick & County Down Railway for their warm hospitality. It was nice to put faces to names, too. And as the others have said, it's great to see so many young people actively involved. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip out to Inch Abbey and back behind No. 1, and the visits to the engine shed, carriage gallery, and workshops. The icing on the cake was the cab ride in 146. -
Regarding the catch points, these are sprung and their purpose is to derail a runaway travelling in the opposite direction only. With double line working, trains run along the left-hand track in the direction of travel and so there's a greater danger posed by a runaway travelling in the opposite direction than there is by one travelling 'the right way'.

Modeller's visit to the Downpatrick & Co Down Railway

I've thrown together an A4 fold-up pocket booklet in PDF format, which can be printed out and may be useful to anyone taking part in Saturday's visit. It includes a copy of the timetable and much of the information provided by JHB above. Here's the download link: https://www.mediafire.com/?n21fwpd1skgb2bp And below is a preview... -
It's still in place all the way between Athlone and Mullingar, but the fact it is disconnected at the Athlone end means it is now regarded as a long siding, as mentioned above. Can we get this thread back on-topic now?

Bit of civility required, too. Infraction issued.

Not resprayers... Lima produced Mk1s in CIÉ green back in the 1970s. Not prototypical at all, though.

It's a BR Mk1...

Indeed, but what has this got to do with route clearance for the 201s?
-
Was that restriction not lifted after the Shannon bridge was replaced?
-
Oh, and the USAAF operated a few squadrons of Spitfires in the UK and the Mediterranean during WWII...

Canberras, too... although built by Martin.

Indeed, it was that sentiment which contributed towards the scrapping of plans to replace the current 'Marine One' Sikorsky fleet with Merlins (that, and some technical issues), even though they had already been built. http://gizmodo.com/the-13-billion-presidential-helicopters-we-scrapped-an-978480541
