  1. "The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "'It is done!'" Seriously, lads... watch yer backs!
  2. 2B or not 2B? That is the question... (Sorry, couldn't resist )
  3. And in the chipper afterwards when the attendant decides to put mayo on your fries...
  4. O gauge NCC Jinty: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Darstaed-Jinty-NCC-Black-Irish-Railways-MINT-O-B-ACE-HORNBY-BASSETT-LOWKE-/300827609801?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item460ab90ac9#ht_870wt_1037
  5. I don't think anything is as bad as the 29ks... would take the Jap units over them any day! Agree with you about the ICRs - best of the bunch to travel on.
  6. As already mentioned, James May's line no longer exists, so it can no longer be termed the 'longest model railway line in the world'.
  7. It's OK... we'll leave it be and just continue the conversation in the other thread.
  8. I wasn't hiding at Raheny... myself and Richie had Dave's head wrecked with cardboard models and plans strewn across his stand. You must've been in the jacks...
  9. "All you drivers are the same - all smiles and 'yer a grand lad' - but I've been stuck in this twilight zone for 50 years and now I'm really pi**ed off!"
  10. I think this will be the plan...
  11. No bargains there, so! I'm gonna try and pop out for a while... if I can escape!
  12. Way ahead of you... http://www.irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1189-World-s-longest-toy-train-track
  13. Spot on, Fran. The Trix one looks decent...
  14. DB have a fleet of Soviet-built locos in the Class 230 series, nicknamed 'Ludmillas'... seriously powerful pieces of kit, built for heavy freight work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR_Class_130_family I think a lot of them have been re-engined over time.
  15. Sure, his one no longer exists... therefore the Chinese one is the longest in the world. Semantics, Des... semantics!
  16. Just remembered that I snapped this (rather poor) image of Ballybeg at the 2009 SDMRC exhibition...
  17. Hmm, I'll be in Dublin that day. Now to convince the missus that we can go to this AND do some Christmas shopping...
  18. ...Built at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. 2.8km long: http://www.thejournal.ie/worlds-longest-toy-train-track-693268-Dec2012/
  19. "What do you mean you won't give me a cab ride!?" *gives driver the fingers*
  20. That 071 kit looks familiar... great work!
  21. I've watched this video twice in a row... it's amazing! [video=youtube_share;doN4t5NKW-k]
  22. Indeed!
  23. That's a great video... nice find!
  24. A definite Darwin Award nominee. Fair play to the person who raised the alarm.
  25. You've answered my prayers, Des! I've a couple of half-built tankers ready and waiting!
