  1. Not remaining and not in cabins, but Ballybrophy still had two ground-frames into this century. The one for the old goods siding went first, around ten years ago. And the one for the Nenagh branch loop went about two/three years ago.
  2. I wonder if the RPA/TII could be persuaded to reinvigorate it, as a rural Luas programme? OK, I don't, really...
  3. I've pursued this, and the National Library has a letter from Lord Castletown that refers to the proposition. See page 26 here - http://www.nli.ie/pdfs/mss%20lists/castletown.pdf
  4. Weshty'll be along in a minute.....
  5. Fair enough. That's no problem. Not like me to still be here for Last Orders.......
  6. Just bought a pack - if that's the last one, have cup of tea lads - and then get on with the bubbles! Is it feasible to make sure that this pack is differently numbered to the first pack that I bought a while back?
  7. You've always been my favourite member on this Forum.
  8. I disagree, I think it is completely credible! Obviously, I do agree, really....
  9. Apologies for the random extra vowel in "Coast" - it's a Laois thing....
  10. Two more of these events near me in recent days. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-35346280 Winter sunlight can reach places that never see the Summer Sun.
  11. It was supposed to re-open in a couple of weeks, but it'll be March now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-35342612
  12. Nice - but the video is 'Private'.
  13. The lad next-door to me has just turned 36 years old, but I still take every opportunity to let people know that he once pissed in my tea, and from about four feet away, although it was during a nappy changing event.
  14. My other forum used to give you five minutes before things were locked....
  15. How did one of them end up the right way up?
  16. Is he still nailed to the gatepost?
  17. I'll have a look... Who's going to find the limits of IÉ's seat reservation system?
  18. Do it. Over here, Sainsbury's sell hot cross buns without the yellow dye in - they call them White Hot Cross Buns - I asked them if they had any red-hot ones, as I kept burning my lips on them - not a flicker of realisation, which just made it funnier.
  19. I will admit to thinking that somebody had really overdone the weathering.
  20. The "Murphy models" search term continues to throw up odd finds. in the thumbnail, this really didn't look like an elephant. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Herd-Martha-Carey-Marty-By-Cavalcade-Elephant-Murphy-model-no-3119-/321975394401?
  21. I'm not sure, but I heard they were quite popular - at least, I was told they had several fans.
