There was, but I don't really remember it.

The Ballybrophy pit was still visible until lately. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/ballybrophy/@52.9022037,-7.5978909,84m/data=!3m1!1e3

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...

World's steepest railway opens in Switzerland.

I'm not a fan of cable cars and that sort of thing - I might be spilling a different liquid... -
Rotating carriages help over the steepest parts. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-42384814

I would have got you this book, but I'm sure you have it already.

This might cheer you up..?

It occurs to me that the traffic figures might not fully reflect the actual activity. Particularly with the shorter posts, they can be read on the Latest Posts column and the whole site Marked Read without the thread being 'entered'. 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?

I suspect it might have been produced for the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations in the US.

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.
-
Is it too early to ask if the Sleaford exhibition will be on again next year? I suspect a few more than just me might attend this time,,,
-
I've had this sent on to me - it could be of some interest to others on here.

You don't even need a motor vehicle, an unsecured trampoline on a windy day will suffice.
-
Actually, thinking about it a bit more, I might suggest using silver paint - it's generally just as opaque as black but is a better 'undercoat' for white. I generally use that for added opacity on the resin buildings, if they're going to be lit - in those circumstances you have the bonus of less light attrition from the paint surface.
-
I wonder if it might be worth painting it black and then over-painting it white, to avoid 'bleed through'?

Interesting look back on Irish Railways
Broithe replied to burnthebox's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
Mmm, I also reside in the rump of the Empire, and I can't see them - though, I could see the one from the same source that the Wrenn Boy put up earlier, but I can't see that one now.. -
You can cause disruption, even if there is not a bridge available to hit.

Indeed - quite a few things that I've never seen before, from when Ballybrophy was the centre of the Universe.
