  1. Mike's Train House - http://mthtrains.com/ , I expect.
  2. Matchboard. Steel.
  3. Matchboards would be vertical joins visible along the sides under the windows about 2mm apart - 'steel' ones would be smooth there.
  4. These people seem to do similar backscenes. http://www.art-printers.com/
  5. ..well, that's what this seems to be - https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/jjinstarail-first-jj-community-instameet-in-dublin-free-tickets-27448131099?aff=es2
  6. It may well be, but he says Posts to:United Kingdom and people in 26 of the counties may feel it excludes them..?
  7. And the eBay one looks like UK-only post.
  8. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Murphy-Models-MM-0210-IE-Class-201-Diesel-Locomotive-/112118525146?hash=item1a1ac8ecda:g:7zEAAOSw9IpXyUQE
  9. I use Imgur to insert my own pictures - works very well. http://imgur.com/
  10. It's a 'proper' Murphy - http://www.hattons.co.uk/37505/Murphy_Models_MM0201_Irish_Class_201_diesel_201_in_CIE_orange_livery_with_full_yellow_ends_/StockDetail.aspx

  12. I once got on at Ballybrophy and ended up in the First Class by mistake. I had just realised my mistake when the ticket inspector came along, she took pity on me and said nothing, having clipped my ticket with her heart-shaped punch. She the went amongst the legitimate occupants and handed them all handwritten cards, saying to them, "Just pay for a standard ticket next time and show these to the ticket man, and you'll get a First Class ticket then - the service hasn't been quite right today!"
  13. I first came across it at the Stafford show - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2681-Ballyconnell-Road?highlight=ballyconnell and http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/2902-Stafford-Railway-Circle-2014-Exhibition?highlight=ballyconnell They seem to be using a double L at the end.
  14. In my innocence, I was rather sceptical about this set up, but I'm pleased to see it starting well - the opportunity was there for anybody to take, and they took it.
  15. Another networking train coming up. http://www.dubchamber.ie/events/upcoming-events?id=58247
  16. Further reports suggest that the digger on the back of the truck on the hard shoulder connected with the lowest part of the sloping footbridge and dislodged it. Also, it seems that the footbridge may have been closed for repairs. All told, it was a remarkable escape, even for the sole injured party.
  17. To be fair, it looks like somebody else may have initially hit a supporting pillar, then others hit the (now lowered) bridge. Only one injury, apparently, a motorcyclist with a few cracked ribs. It was a footbridge, and, presumably, there was nobody on the collapsed section at the time.
  18. Sometimes a bridge-strike is cleared up after a quick inspection - sometimes not... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-37204050
  19. Every now and then, I see a picture that has "the look" of a model layout, but turns out to be real. Captain Sensible posted this view of Limerick from his hotel window this morning. At first glance, I thought I was on one of the many Facebook model pages... It looks a bit too 'clean' and well-ordered, as some layouts are.
  20. Bridge strike currently causing issues through Port Laoise.
  21. Mine is A+ Only the best for me.
  22. Emperor Hirohito was still officially a Field Marshal in the British Army at the outbreak of WW2.
  23. How many armfuls is that? I'm up to 62 here and have had a pin-badge and a ballpoint pen.
  24. The Hino is the most 'Irish' of all trucks, surely.
