  1. Great pics again! Just out of curiosity... Have you had any issues with station staff or the SNCF police when taking photos at the station?
  2. Great video here. Staff snatcher in operation shown from approx 2 minutes 10 seconds in... http://www.euscreen.eu/play.jsp?id=EUS_524B0F1DFF9D4311A5271797E7849D5E
  3. A nice tribute, Chunkrail. May he rest in peace.
  4. Maybe not depot re-allocations, but maybe route re-allocations. Still strange...
  5. If you haven't seen Sybics at all, I guess it's possible that there were depot re-allocations and 22ks are being concentrated on the depot serving the Nice region. Edit: Also, the reason for the delays may be due partly to the train with the two 22s up front. They're not working in multiple... one's dead! The pantograph is down...
  6. Great shots! Nice to see an unrebuilt RRR set. Enjoy the 22s while you can... they'll become a rarer site around stations before you know it! I doubt the locotracteurs are being phased out, as they're still needed in the freight yards. Probably just Nice catching up with other mainline hubs and using larger locos on pilot duties (or just backing another loco onto the train to take the coaches on their next journey).
  7. Good man, Fran... it was a great show!
  8. One of the few trains you can legally photograph in Italy!
  9. Yes, that one's a repeat alright. Rubbish programme, to be honest.
  10. Purchased a Fouga kit from Mark's Models' website last night, and it arrived by courier today. Not bad!
  11. Well played, Dave!
  12. Driver: "We have three, ya little... and a transport museum, too!" *drives off*
  13. That'll be 'Six Shooter', directed by Martin McDonagh: A brilliant short film! The actor playing the crazy guy also played Tito in 'Into the West'...
  14. What a way to announce your arrival on the forum! Welcome aboard, Karjoa... your layout looks wonderful!
  15. Great photos, Broithe! Airshows in this country just haven't been the same since the Silver Swallows were disbanded in the '90s.
  16. Looks interesting alright. Anyone out there have any experience with it?
  17. Seeing as Curran's work has been mentioned a few times on this thread, here's something I picked up some time ago... It's a Radio Train brochure produced around 1957/1958 and aimed at American tourists planning a trip to Ireland.
  18. Well, it's finally happened... http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/jul/08/maplin-high-street-first-3d-printer Not sure just how good the quality will be, but it's definitely going to pique the interest of many modellers!
  19. Still getting used to it here, too. Slightly OT, but some time ago I set up a Flickr group called 'Irish Railway Heritage'. I rarely post anything to it myself, but there are countless gems from other photographers who contribute: http://www.flickr.com/groups/irishrailwayheritage/
  20. Cheers for that, Wanderer. Will the extra units be stored or rotated?
  21. Probably a compromise for increased capacity on lines with platforms that are too short to accommodate six-car sets. Any sign of selective door opening being installed?
  22. Great footage! It's just a pity Mallard herself is out of commission at the moment.
  23. Holy... Moly...
  24. Kept an eye on that RMWeb thread alright... it's a work of art!
