  1. A huge layout, especially when you consider it's O gauge! (I should be so lucky...)
  2. There was a deadman's system on the loco, but it was isolated because the loco brake was applied. The reason the loco kept on going was because it was at full throttle... which, if the dynamic brake had been correctly applied, would've contributed to stopping the train.
  3. Mod note: I've merged three separate threads on the Fry Model Railway into this one so that nobody misses anything. Please post all updates, etc. here.
  4. Saw it last night... good film alright. Here's some info on the incident it was based on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSX_8888_incident
  5. Where and when is it supposed to have happened?
  6. Jaysus, that was quick... (She said)
  7. It's a beauty!
  8. Should be able to read PDFs on iPhones and iPads, Des. I post notifications on the Facebook page and on Twitter whenever new stuff is added, which will hopefully prove handy for people.
  9. More editions added just last night, Des... and the drawing index is also available for download now. I'll be adding some more articles from the latest issue after the weekend, including one on a beautiful S scale model of GSWR No. 100.
  10. Obviously a long-lost memo has turned up in the Department of Transport, recommending the withdrawal and scrapping of the West Clare's railcars and diesels...
  11. Well, now that Monty Python has been mentioned... [video=youtube;uprjmoSMJ-o]
  12. It happens quite often but normally isn't normally reported. A tough time for the driver, yes, but also for the family of the deceased. It's sad to think that he/she felt there was no other choice.
  13. Still better than any of the material from Lulu!
  14. Alan Gibson Workshop may have what you need, Richie... http://www.alangibsonworkshop.com/ (full catalogue here: http://www.alangibsonworkshop.com/Catalogue.pdf). I actually have some buffers that may be suitable. You're welcome to some... I just have to dig them out.

    New IÉ logo...

    Folks, as The Wanderer said... You can take that as fact.
  16. What the f*** did they do with the body, so!?!
  17. And the original versions, for comparison... [video=youtube_share;Tj75Arhq5ho]http://youtu.be/Tj75Arhq5ho [video=youtube_share;xwtdhWltSIg] [video=youtube_share;DKbPUzhWeeI]http://youtu.be/DKbPUzhWeeI [video=youtube_share;uTlo809EIlo]
  18. Interesting work by this guy, who has done some digital tinkering with these songs so that they're in a major scale...
  19. There are strong views I'd like to express about the proposal and those at the centre of it, but politics is one of the subjects specifically forbidden on the forum. The good news is that the government has rejected the idea.
  20. Brilliant video footage of the journey here:

    The future?

    Gentlemen, the bar has been raised. Over to you Bachmann, Hornby et al! Murphy Models AEC set... (A boy can dream, right?)
  22. Nice one, Des!
  23. Separate bank accounts... sorted!
