  1. As always, I finally got there today. A few pictures to give a general idea of what was on offer.
  2. Don't go mad now - think of our pockets....
  3. My uncle had a farm about a mile from Ballybrophy, with a churn stand at the roadside. The milk went to Donaghmore Creamery, about two miles south of the station and I don't remember there being any milk traffic from the station.
  4. I usually intend to go Saturday - and end up going on Sunday. We'll see what happens this time.
  5. I find Imgur very useful - all my own pictures on here are through there - you can form folders, making things easier to find later, too. When you've uploaded a picture, it's just a matter of copying the link and pasting it in here. http://imgur.com/
  6. It's this weekend, for anybody in the vicinity. http://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/exhibition/
  7. We have a big exhibition here at the weekend - if I spot one, I'll get details and pass 'em on.

  9. I have become aware of this event - I think it's open to the public, but it could be worth checking first.
  10. Health & safety! Blood shows up far too well on scenery. There are those on here who remember Imperial Airways, I'm sure. Lovely stuff.
  11. I heard a version of it done on BBC Radio 4 once- many years ago...
  12. Frederick Forsyth's short story Sharp Practice takes place partly on a Kingsbridge to Cork train. http://storytellingresources.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/play-outline-sharp-practice.html
  13. I have some bits of the Stafford-Uttoxeter line that I dug up in my garden....
  14. That popped up in my 'subscriptions' a while ago - I couldn't remember "who else" you were... Excellent stuff.
  15. Discussed here - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/5869-Rivets?
