    New Irish Lines

    Cheers! I'll be in touch with you about that. I'll mention the donations button to Alan O'Rourke, although the only costs normally incurred relate to printing... I also must add a word of thanks to Dennis Mowatt, who scanned and converted the files.

    New Irish Lines

    Another update to the New Irish Lines archive. It now includes editions from 2005-2007: http://newirishlines.org/archive-2/ More to follow during the week!
  3. I've heard some people say they prefer the old Jouef Mk3 to either the Lima or Hornby version. Perhaps someone with knowledge of this model could offer an opinion?
  4. Aye, they would have been A class diesels as the maximum power for that class wasn't specified.
  5. They were looking for the Madonna with the very big boobies...
  6. Aye, and then they went missing again. There's a rumour that they were thrown into a well supplying water for one of the C&L's water towers.
  7. My deepest sympathies to you and your family for your loss, Eamon. RIP.
  8. Remotely controlled by a pilot in a ground station There's still a lot of Phantoms flying... they're still in service with the Hellenic Air Force and the Luftwaffe only retired theirs back in June.
  9. 1 - C&L number 9, King Edward (had a nasty habit of spreading the rails, too) 2 - the loco's tricolour lining
  10. The Dublin & Blessington Steam Tramway?
  11. Target practice. Nothing new about retired aircraft being converted but I believe this is the first F-16 to receive the treatment.
  12. Nope... I'd like one of those G scale Rustons for the shelf, though.
  13. Found their website a while back... lots of tasty stuff in their range. The little Ruston loco looks fab, but seems to be out of stock for a while now. Wouldn't mind getting one to paint in BnM colours.
  14. [video=youtube_share;rJk4fBcaOYA]http://youtu.be/rJk4fBcaOYA Almost as cool as the pilotless F-16 itself is the fact that one of the chase planes is an F-4.
  15. A workench thread and tutorial all in one... love it! Looking forward to your next update, George!
  16. Never mind painting that one up in Isle of Man colours... turn it out in Ballymena & Larne livery!
  17. If can lay your hands on a copy of Iain Rice's book 'Etched Loco Construction', you'll find some good pointers in that as well. It's no longer in print, but second-hand copies turn up on Amazon and eBay...
  18. As the lads have already pointed out, the sweeping curves look the bees knees!
  19. That makes for an encouraging read, Bosko. Long may the site continue to grow!

    Gaa

    You'd never know from Cluxton's dour victory speech... Great game, though. Mayo threw it away in the first half.
  21. The one thing about Flight Fest was that the more nimble aircraft (the Vans team, Strikemaster, Sabre and Hunter in particular) weren't allowed to demonstrate their aerobatic capability. Salthill was great as the flight line was over the sea, so that wasn't an issue, and led to top class acts like the Red Arrows and Thunderbirds appearing to strut their stuff. I also remember Tomcats, Hornets and Vikings showing up the year the JFK docked in Dublin... Bray is a poor substitute as fast jets can't show off because Bray Head is in the way...
