    Looks like a real handbill but going by the sheer amount of fakery passed off as the genuine article at auctions, I can't help suspecting this is a laser printed copy dunked in tea. IF genuine, it's really rare as it's a throwaway sort of item.

    Absolute beauties when turned out in WL&WR crimson lake and brass. On a side note, I wonder what's driving the current resurgence in interest in the colourful pre grouping scene in uk? Seems to go against the modelling what one remembers convention.

    Not far off the GS&WR 2-4-0, extinct by CIE days.

    The love child of a IOM tank and an American 4-4-0, sprouting a Cockerill VB shaped growth.

    Was going to convert to Jeep but changing priorities means I'm moving this on. Comes with a red LMS Fowler spare body. Tested, running, boxed. I rummage out the front coupler before dispatch. €100 incl registered postage anywhere in Ireland.

    Kind of disappointing a newly produced piece of rolling stock won't take the tighter curves.

    Another dud doing the rounds.

    EIR stamped on it if I recall on ad. East Indian Railway.

    That was gas lit, fed from tanks under the coach. Pot lamps were fuelled with colza oil, basically vegetable oil, before the petrol industry took off. Latterly, pot lamps were cascaded down to horsebox groom compartments when they had disappeared from passenger stock. The one in the pics may be Indian, I've seen the listing.

    The successful rural independents set themselves up as "fixers", "fixshing de roads", etc doing the things a properly functional system should be taking care of, inspiring clan chieftain levels of fandom from voters.

    Any drawing or photo of it surviving?

    The "will" part is lacking in many places.

    I'm assuming that's a very old ad. The buildings are crumbling shells now. Wonder who bought it, if indeed it was ever sold?

    Meanwhile.. door, stable, horse etc. https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-41427925.html

    And the world's most expensive as yet unfinished hospital.

    I wouldn't read anything into that. Everyone is infatuated with greenways now.

    They were quite popular as holiday homes in west and east Cork and Fountainstown. Coaches, old buses, even a tram as a greenhouse. There's still a (very) small handful left if you know where to look.

    Carrot and stick. Give the required supports but at the same time there has to be a punishment of some sort, be that community service or similar. There can't be no consequences at all for acting the maggot.

    €1.5m! Doubt it.

    New security hut at government buildings...hmm..

    Hitting Fleabay already. Would one of our 3d specialists run off a few open top ones? What they missed out on were the grey painted Per Way Dept ones that might have limped on into the 70s.

    I don't know what the law is like up in NI when "pups" are caught, but it's fairly lenient down here. Minors, solicitor lay out a sob story, weren't hugged enough when toddlers, etc. Alright don't do it again you little scamp.

    Oil lit with Colza (vegetable) oil before petroleum industry kicked off, a very poor, smoky light. Since these are modelled without the old oil lighting "pots" on the roof, they're either supposed to be gas or more likely electrically lit from battery charged by an axle run dynamo.
