  1. ..started this day in 2002. http://www.rte.ie/archives/2017/0511/874239-first-female-train-driver/
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The words 'hung, 'over' and 'weekend' so often occur in the same sentence...
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Yeah, with Imgur, just use the BB code, second one up from the bottom, and paste that straight in the post.
  8. The crew access hatch looks a bit small, are they only employing leprechauns now?
  9. 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.
  10. These see-through bridges are all the rage these days. And superb drainage for those who aren't too keen on using them....
  11. Brompton Crossing? http://www.forgevalleyrailway.co.uk/brompton-crossing
  12. Witches' knickers, they call 'em here.
  13. The cements'll be here before they've finished..
  14. The Maplin magnifier lights are very good, and the price goes up and down all the time - keep an eye open and catch one at the bottom of the wave. And don't forget to put the cover on if there is even the slightest chance of the Sun reaching it.
  15. Birr is a nice town - the castle grounds are worth a look round.
  16. I now know a lot more than it says above, ta.
  17. I have become aware of this event - I know no more than what it says here.
  18. I believe that mine arrived today, according to report from the ancestral home.
  19. It may be the recirculation that is at the root of the problem. Where did the 'extracted' air emerge? And in what direction?
  20. I recently rescued an old-style cooker hood from a kitchen make-over, with the intention of constructing some sort of small spray-booth affair with it. I have opened up a similar one before, to fix it, and the motor was an induction affair, with no brushes to give cause for concern over igniting solvent vapours. I'm hoping that I find this one to be the same.
  21. Now that you have a 24 hour taxi service available, you should just take it easy...
  22. Invoice in the post...
  23. I use - http://imgur.com/ - works well once you're set up.
  24. Worth watching twice.
