    This interesting system appears to be available now. https://www.protocab.com/shop#!/Bundles/c/15656058/offset=0&sort=nameAsc

    Well, I am outraged - I had to do some actual work to pass the time.

    Not even a phone number - could be an MI5 front operation.....

    This is a few years old. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=38287

    That looks like a UK mobile number, so 00 44 7742 670 023 from the Republic, I think.

    In preparation, dual gauge changeover track is already fitted on the Boyne Viaduct.

    Before they turn it over, they're doing the initial test on the 5'3" track in Victoria.

    I heard that they are rebuilding A39 upside down, to make work on the bogies easier, before turning it over for the first test runs - and so that the pictures of the progress will appear on here the right way up.

    Idiots! April Fool's Day was yesterday. This is a Leap Year.

    The amount of taxpayer's money thrown at the railways here, compared to the BR days, is truly staggering. I know people that work for NR and the money flows like (unmetered) water. And yet, although I live on the West coast Mail Line, I took a train here for the first time in eight years the other day - and then only to Birmingham.

    EU and the European Court of Human Rights are not really connected - The Court is a function of the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states, not just the 28 EU ones - almost everybody, except Belarus - even Russia, Turkey, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.

    They're not quite as separate as, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are. I believe that IoM's Defense and Foreign Affairs are handled from Westminster. Anybody is free to secede, if they can cope with the obstructions. A large part of their 'function' now seems to be tax avoidance schemes, though that is more prevalent in the Channel Isles.
  13. Broithe
    Indeed the IoM isn't, and never has been in the EU, the same applies to the Channel Islands. Hence the rather strange tax arrangements that go on. The Queen is, rather strangely, actually Lord of Man.

    This could have been so much worse.... http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-news/pictures-runaway-mountain-tram-crash-drama-1-7824668

    If George can't get a box to turn up to him, the rest of us have no chance.....

    I wonder if it might even be of interest to any LNER preservationists? Might be 'worthless' - might be gold-dust......
  18. Broithe
    Might just be an 'odd one' that came over for some reason - maybe even just used as a disposable crate for something and not worth returning when they became redundant over here. Might not even have travelled by rail there at all.
  19. Broithe
    If it made sense, they might still be using them....
  20. Broithe
    This does look very similar.
  21. Broithe
    Is that first one actually a container? Like the top one shown here?
  22. Broithe
    At Dawlish, it is to do with wave-washing - the first one is in London, also a flooding issue, I believe - it occurs all over the place. They must use a fair-sized eye-dropper, I wounder is it's painted yellow?

    Broithe posted a topic in Weblinks

    This has appeared on the MRSI Facebook page - http://www.traxeditor.com/ - I'm a pencil and paper person, do other more techy types have any opinions on it?

    Another landslip here after last nights weather - between Salisbury and Exeter.
  25. Broithe
    Glued ballast does exist in the real world, too. And this at Dawlish.
