    Sligo line closed

    The line re-opened this morning... http://www.longfordleader.ie/news/local-news/rail-services-return-to-normal-after-flooding-closure-1-5908783
  2. Nice one, Richie! I'm pretty sure yer man Fiachra is from Longford...

    Getting word of an enlightened scrap-man emerging from Hamill's yard today...
  4. Nice one! Heard yesterday's points problem was down to a track machine having an argument with the turnout at Kilonan Junction...
  5. The tanker is looking good... love the little oul' Wikham, too!
  6. If you want a decent recording of one, when I'm in Dublin next I can bring along an audio recorder I use for radio/film work, which will do the trick...
  7. Heard that a 2800 set was due to haul the hybrid from Limerick to Cork today... probably the last time a 2700 will appear on the mainline in any guise. Did anyone down south manage to get any photos?
  8. I think an exhibition of our own is wishful thinking! Lots of organisation involved, and the existing clubs do a good job as it is. There's no news of exhibitions yet as it's still a bit early in the year for them. Should be some notifications soon enough, though.
  9. Fine work there, Rich... shouldn't expect anything less from your workbench at this stage!
  10. Decent end shot of a silver tin van here, John... you can just make out the silver roof, too.
  11. Fran, Ian Rice's book is the business... very descriptive explanations while still easy to read. Lots of illustrations, too.
  12. Valuable little pieces, George... I wouldn't touch them as I believe they'd be worth more as they are now.
  13. No chance you could scan them and put them up here?
  14. Love the footage of the C&L. There's a small research error in it, though... the line closed in 1959, not 1960.

    For anyone who would like to see the tender for themselves, it's available online here: http://mytenders.ie/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL366095
  16. Love the Park Royal, Patrick... excellent work!

    Someone would want to actually tell VSOE's management that they're entering the Irish market...
  18. Spectrum is part of Bachmann's US-outline range and as Wrenn says, it's HO scale. Edit: Pipped at the post by Warbonnet!
  19. Well, it seems Silver Fox have managed to screw up the cabs of not one, but three of their Irish diesel classes. That's some going.

    Ooh er, matron! Decent Photoshop job, it must be said! We'll see pigs flying over Inchicore before VSOE enter the Irish market, though...
  22. Ah, cool... haven't been down in that neck of the country for a while so hadn't seen the modifications. Thanks.
