Bachmann have produced a couple, which turn up on eBay, etc., now and then. Based on Clonmel. And Carlow.

Fabulous weather - model railway activity curtailed

Good man, I'm sure we'll shift a few. You may even move a few via Stradbally Station...

If people were smart enough, there wouldn't be an issue. Oddly, they seem to be rarely used against road vehicles, where drivers are at a much shorter range and with a lot less leeway for immediate error.

There are a few moles in the system - hopefully, one of them might turn something up.

I've just come across this - - if anybody knows Ken Fox and he's going to do it again for next year, then he might shift a few more through here...

Although the quantities in modelling events may be small, it is worth being aware of some of the excitement that can occur if certain substances are mixed. http://www.irongategroup.co.uk/blog/why-you-should-never-mix-cleaning-chemicals/

That's some weathering.....

I always thought the beat wagons were an attempt to update the Radio Train concept.

McCabe towbars were to be seen regularly waiting on the platform at Ballybrophy until fairly recently. http://mccabetowbars.ie/

Ideal headgear for the exhibition-goer?

Done. When/where is the graduation party?

Short of the fact that the machines already exist, there is little to recommend burning oil in a steam engine, rather than in a diesel. If the fuel is suitable for diesel combustion, then the efficiency difference will be immediately apparent. There is rather less need for a fireman in the crew, though, as fuel transfer can be more easily automated. IÉ oil-burners were identified by large white discs on the smoke-box door and the sides of the tenders.

CIÉ had 93 oil burning steam locos in 1946/7, but, as coal supplies returned to normal after the war, the scheme was dropped - with a short resumption in 1954.

Small differences can have quite an effect on sounds. People who rode motorbikes in 70s may remember how about 25% of Allegros had an aerodynamic whistle from the front bodywork. And the AW Argosy had a very distinctive sound, marking it out easily from all other Dart-powered aircraft.

The words 'hung, 'over' and 'weekend' so often occur in the same sentence...

Have you made more than one album? Click All images, then New album from the drop list to do so. Then add images to that album. It's only an issue if you want to find them again. There used to be a 250 limit for free use, but it seems to be infinite now.
-
When you have made an album - click where it says None next to Add to album and a drop-list of your existing albums will appear, select the one you want to add a picture to and that name will appear in the box - add away.

Yeah, with Imgur, just use the BB code, second one up from the bottom, and paste that straight in the post.

The crew access hatch looks a bit small, are they only employing leprechauns now? -
I went to Rugeley power station in the '80s and found myself 150 foot up on an expanded metal floor, with a clear view right down to the concrete that would have stopped my fall. It wasn't people looking up my skirt that bothered me at the time.

These see-through bridges are all the rage these days. And superb drainage for those who aren't too keen on using them....
