  1. I came over on a Honda 125 in September 1975. I remember it being craned on and off at Holyhead, but I have no recollection of what happened at Dun Laoghaire I came again in September 1976, with a 400, and it was RoRo at both sides.
  2. Not a lot to report lately. Some detail of the goods shed masonry and brickwork. Staff Only past this point - and carefully maintaining a watchful eye... Secure tricycle storage is available.
  3. Indeed, but it looks so good, even pre-paint..
  4. That is nice - even the currently visible white marks from the filling would look quite prototypical where I live, on the edge of the salt fields. Particularly the corner of the brickwork - I have efflorescence just like that on my house
  5. Ah, I should have looked further.. The first one came up for me because it was at Ballybrophy, and I have a search logged in for that.
  6. This has turned up on eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CIE-SIGNAL-ELECTRICAL-COACH-463A-BALLYBROPHY-5X3-ARCHIVE-PHOTO-1969-N-D-MUNDY/372650853924?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3D360de35d247d4491b5bed56ebd2cca96%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D372650853924%26itm%3D372650853924&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507
  7. Better safe than sorry.
  8. Get a cattle prod and put it on expenses.
  9. A whole hour has gone past now - is his internet down?
  10. I'm having flashbacks (or flashovers) now.. In my previous life, I had some entertaining events with porcelain insulators. If you ever had any particularly crunchy (nut) cornflakes, that could have been bits of the one that I blew up next to the Kelloggs factory in Manchester... Be careful when you first turn it on
  11. Well, mine arrived yesterday - and I arrived this morning. They've only had a cursory glance so far, but are beyond reasonable expectations... The doors seemed to be locked on mine and there's no sign of a key in the bag of bits.
  12. Easter approaches at the 'Hatch.
  13. The mother has been warned - so they don't end up in a bucket of water and the Bomb Squad summoned....
  14. Holy Hell..!!
  15. At least it's the right way up.
  16. I knew it would happen...
  17. If you started the thread, I think you can change the title yourself - try hovering the cursor over it...
  18. To be fair to them, when Lilou took the Dart into town, they issued her with a rail card...
  19. Keep an eye on the stocks. When I had a 'real' job, we kept stocks of copper-tungsten. Not really an alloy, but a physical mixture that was sintered. Its function was to provide erosion resistance for electrical contacts. But, I suspect that a good half of it was used to make the bespoke darts that still turn up at the boot sales here.
  20. 1, I blame the parents. 2, That has come up alright. 3, I think the sleeper in the bottom picture is a bit over-scale.
  21. Ah, I see what you mean - I thought you meant the flooring. That's not a common feature outside Ireland - you might be able to scribe some plain sheet..?
