  1. This has some nice Bord na Mona footage not long after the start. http://www.rte.ie/player/gb/show/storyland-1239/10519665/ You may need to adjust the link for 'homeland' viewing, see what happens.
  2. This is a classic example - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-36333664 - the second picture up from the bottom isn't an A320, it isn't even an Airbus, it's a Boeing 777. I wonder if Boeing's lawyers might be interested...? I did inform the BBC over a day ago, but I suspect they feel it's not worth making it right, but they could just delete the daft picture.
  3. At the time, I wasn't too interested in trains, or I could have got some good pictures of it through the fence - it often spent a day or two there whilst it was got back into a fit state to limp off and be 'fixed properly'. There was also (still is) a footbridge there - there must be some pictures from that somewhere.
  4. I worked here at the time they were being tested and some time was spent stuck on the bend there - - when the tilting mech failed on several occasions. They did have a distinct "Gerry Anderson" look about them, even at the time.
  5. My stopwatch is wound and ready.....
  6. It's the thought that counts. I look forward to the rest of the fleet following.....
  7. Useful pictures for a cameo scene at Kent Station....
  8. NIR Lima coaches - http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Irish-Rail-Lima-Models-Lima-LT600003-Coach-in-Iarnrod-Eireann-Executive-/322108739055?
  9. More complicated that the usual bridge strike. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-36293045
  10. You Tube has just suggested this interesting video to me - worth a look.
  11. This sort of thing? http://www.train-safe.de/
  12. They seem to have a hard life in UK service. But, now and again, somebody gives one a slap of paint.
  13. Dazzle buses now.

    Flex? Fix? Once you write a 'rule' for English, you've had it.

    Nice - the scan of the images at the top is just the right speed, they're often too slooooow. You use helix's and helices for the plural of helix - helices for me.
  16. Forty shades of green, and at least two shades of emerald.
  17. A longer version of the video. [video=youtube;V-DfhAU4Jtc]
  18. May be some photo opportunities with this. https://railtoursireland.com/railcruiseandcastletour
  19. Some video here -
  20. And IE was Clare earlier & IR was Offaly, also having NIR later on.
  21. I thought it was going to be the James Bond one, with the caravan instead of a tank.
  22. Jewellery!
