Way ahead of you... http://www.irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1189-World-s-longest-toy-train-track

Spot on, Fran. The Trix one looks decent...
-
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.
-
Sure, his one no longer exists... therefore the Chinese one is the longest in the world. Semantics, Des... semantics!
-
Just remembered that I snapped this (rather poor) image of Ballybeg at the 2009 SDMRC exhibition...
-
Hmm, I'll be in Dublin that day. Now to convince the missus that we can go to this AND do some Christmas shopping...
-
...Built at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. 2.8km long: http://www.thejournal.ie/worlds-longest-toy-train-track-693268-Dec2012/

"What do you mean you won't give me a cab ride!?" *gives driver the fingers*
-
That 071 kit looks familiar... great work!
-
I've watched this video twice in a row... it's amazing! [video=youtube_share;doN4t5NKW-k]
-
Indeed!
-
That's a great video... nice find!
-
A definite Darwin Award nominee. Fair play to the person who raised the alarm.
-
You've answered my prayers, Des! I've a couple of half-built tankers ready and waiting!
-
There is indeed, Richie... and there's a couple of shabby Uniload containers in the yard behind the bus garage.
-
I came across the website of the company who designed the font a while back. They had samples of all the characters on it. Damned if I can remember what the URL was, though...
-
Been listening to Johnny Cash? [video=youtube_share;k9IfHDi-2EA]
-
True, but at least it still serves a purpose... would be worse if the rails were lifted.
-
Nice driver's eye-view of Longford, there.
-
I'll hit Google in a while and dig out some ones I remember seeing before. Those LMS signs advertising holidays in Ireland were actually distributed in the UK... don't think they would've appeared over here, unless they weren't bothered making NCC-branded ones.
-
Reminds of a question that was put to a Granard man once... "Would you like to be cremated?" he was asked. "I don't care if they burn me!" he said.
-
I think the GPS is more for holding a stationary position without input from the controls, or for returning to a preset location if you lose site of it. Don't think it can follow a programmd route as such... The batteries is those babies last 10-15 minutes max, so you wouldn't want to let it off by itself, only for it to disappear into a distant field or woodland!
-
Ha, I've actually been thinking about building one... plenty of tutorials out there. And a GoPro camera has been on the shopping list for a while. Doubt the battery charge in the chopper would last the distance from Killorglin to Valentia, though!

IE CCTV Cameras and Irish Telegraph Poles

You don't even need a big chopper for the aerial shots anymore...
