Broithe

Thanks to my newly appointed social secretary, @Robert Shrives, I managed to attend this today - and see Arigna in the flesh. The Derby exhibition used to be an annual event for me, a little more 'continental' than most, but I find that interesting. I haven't been for two.three years now, due to not being so efficiently reminded in time. It is now at a most excellent new venue. The new venue is in the old roundhouse, right next to Derby station, for those that want to travel by rail and avoid the entertainment of Derby's road traffic system. It has excellent facilities for those with heavier than usual baseboards. The pits are visible through the glass floor. And it seems to be licensed for extra refreshment possibilities. s.

I'm so glad that you posted that! I would have missed out, otherwise. Well, worth going to see it in the flesh.

Variations of this style of uncalibrated height gauge can sometimes be found in 'junk' shops, boot sales, etc. You could replace the scriber with a plastic knitting needle from the sewing box, for situations where you want to avoid scratches.

It's all part of a "process" - the Wright aircraft couldn't take off under its own power, it needed the falling weight catapult. Where the 'start' is is often not definitive.

It's not just for the modelling world.

Things will progress, if the market is there. Some of us will remember how poor the early jet printers were. And, who would have watched this and expected to fly the Atlantic in a pressurised jet airliner fifty years later?

They decided not to install a cash machine there when they realised that everybody would use 3-1-2-4 as their PIN number.

It is of interest (to me, anyway) that the sunrise on my birthday (next Wednesday, if you're asking, still time to send something) is due to be exactly in line with the tracks at Ballybrophy. http://suncalc.net/#/52.8993,-7.6043,15/2018.05.16/11:28 It is possible that I am the Messiah..? The railway was laid out using the same technology as Newgrange, that much seems obvious.

There's a sphinx at Ballyfin. The Egyptians are rumoured to have arrived by a northerly route, through Denmark, via the Faroes.

There's a thirty-footer in Kinnity. http://www.davidwinpenny.co.uk/up-to-a-point---in-search-of-pyramids-in-britain-and-ireland/pyramids-in-ireland

A picture of it appeared on Eiretrains for a while - where it was suggested that it was an alien message, as I recall..

It's always possible that it could be the result of unofficial action, there are no screws in the cover and it looks as though it wouldn't be too hard to lift up. It's certainly less of an issue than the time somebody lifted the bricks up with the whole yellow line warning on and got them all mixed up...

Dont! He'll only add that in.... The word 'incredible' has been used to describe this three times, so far. I don't think that's right - it is the very credibility of it that is shocking.

Space for a flywheel? What make is that track?

Potts / Poots - could that be part of the problem?

In Wexford today, I believe.

Atlas make some nice fine fencing for those frontages - not an exact match, though, but a similar style.

Size of the markets and the numbers against which the fixed costs can be recovered from, I suspect.

Could you put a shim about the thickness of the disc between the boards? That should make the gap fairly small, if the track is fairly straight over the join and you remove the shim after the cut.

Back - after a down period. I had to do some work, this cannot be allowed to happen again!

Well, they've all been outstanding so far!

We are prepared to wait a reasonable time - possibly even several weeks.
