  1. RPSI 186 got daubed last night, so I hear.
  2. If you're going to deface something, at least do it legibly. Like what is it supposed to be?
  3. In a parallel universe, does No. 90 stay in Fermoy on display rather than a move to Mallow?
  4. The URL was the problem. The Minister is pleased with tech support. Thanks for the dig-out.
  5. I have trouble seeing pics posted by others, any reason why??? They just show up as default image icons.
  6. They'd want to start walking the Foynes branch too if that's physically possible now, there's a well known epicentre of 'cultural activity' close by....
  7. Not the first cable theft...though it's been plaguing both preserved and Network Rail for a few years now across the water. http://www.joe.ie/news-politics/current-affairs/cable-theft-shuts-down-dart-services-0011753-1 http://www.nationalist.ie/news/local/cabling-theft-disrupts-rail-services-1-2568685 From memory crossing gates were taken at a couple of locations and rails taken from Campile I think.
  8. NOTHING will happen until the lead is stripped off the roofs of Stormont and Leinster House.
  9. There is/was a small pocket guide that may come up on Fleabay on occasion, Locomotives & Rolling Stock of Coras Iompair Eireann and Northern Ireland Railways by Doyle, O.;Hirsch. Has useful running no's, basic stats and dates of building etc., some pics, but they tend to be smallish and in b/w only. Have fond memories of WA, found orange and black GMs there too!
  10. They're not fictional. The b*stards got me Lucky Charms. Why do they call it a Casino when there's no one-armed bandits/roulette or any of that jazz in it?
  11. Interesting. Have a few GS&WR clerks entrance exam papers from 1919-1920 for Latin and (unusually for the time) Irish. The only Latin motto I can think of (apart from the Cork one in the CB&PR coat of arms) is in the UTA coat of arms 'Transportatio Cultum Significat' (Transport Is Civilisation)
