Talk of helicopters reminded me of this. I love the fact that it is all coordinated by PHECC, the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council. A very Irish acronym. I look forward to further organisations being established - ARS, GURLS and DRINC, perhaps?

Be fair! This is a Yellow Snow Warning. Yellow snow is the worst sort.

Do please wish the elves at the factory all the best - they have toiled well on our behalf.

I had a call from Mr DPD about an hour ago, looking for target coordinates for here - I now have my bubbles in front of me. I was prepared for the brakes to be seized in the off-position, as on the ballasts, but was disappointed to find all six pressure gauges stuck - it'll be the cement dust, I suppose, at 1/76 scale, it'll just get everywhere. Otherwise, they seem OK.

Generally, people will quote RMS voltage, as it is the most 'useful' way of describing an AC set-up in terms of power supply available - divide that figure by 0.707 to get an idea of what the peak-to-peak voltage will be, from an insulation point of view. Or just add 50% roughly...

I'm not a fan of cable cars and that sort of thing - I might be spilling a different liquid... -

This might cheer you up..?

It occurs to me that the traffic figures might not fully reflect the actual activity.

I've certainly noticed myself doing that a lot more on the new layout.

Ah, that's how you stay so fresh-faced..

I did keep it - but finding it may take a while - and I'm away for most of the next three weeks.

I may be imagining this, but did @colmflanagan have an article in Railway Modeller about ten years ago, where OO Pullman coaches were modified into an Irish livery?

Saturday, June the 2nd, for the 2018 exhibition...

Excellent - the one in the shade, under the tree, if it's sunny again - ta. It's in the diary here...

It was the black chassis that had me worried - still "pivo dělá hezká těla", as they say out there.

I'm fairly sure that that has been done before, possibly in an earlier period of history......

I haven't filled it in, as I don't really care about stuff here on the Big Island, but I have taken the liberty of sending the link to others that do, both as purchasers and retailers.
