  1. I suspect they are 1/87, but they look well enough and for a couple of quid, I won't argue.
  2. Yeah, leave 'em alone, it's almost the only exercise I get.
  3. The instructions for McCulloch chainsaws used to contain the warning - Chainsaw accidents are rarely trivial.
  4. I got one of those at the 'Abbeyleix' show in Port Laoise last year - a fine device.
  5. Also beware of wire brushes and clothing, particularly cuffs. Even if there isn't a huge amount of power, there can be a good bit of energy stored in the rotating parts and it all happens very quickly.
  6. It's bloody heavy, even the doors are cast. It came over as Lease-Lend, still got the Air Ministry plate on it.
  7. Our local guard's personal mobile ended in 666007 - summed him up perfectly.
  8. Be Prepared! Weren't you in the Scouts..?
  9. Got a return ticket? http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4229-Going-through-Senior-s-stuff?p=64136&viewfull=1#post64136
  10. Cremation is the general practice over here now - at my local Crem, the last sign that the coffin passes on the way in proudly proclaims that a defibrillator is available - I understand that it's been used three times - on audience members, not the main attraction. Also, if you look up at the apex of the ceiling in the main room, you'll see two smoke detectors...
  11. It may be to do with this - http://strabanechronicle.com/2014/06/railway-project-hits-the-skids-because-of-its-size/ - i believe that it's in Strabane Library now.
  12. I have an old South Bend - very like this.
  13. This video has been suggested to me as possibly being of some help, although I suspect not.. Another person, who is a dedicated Apple fan-boy and believes that they can do no wrong, wonders if you are using an up-to-date OS? He believes that it "shouldn't happen" if you are, which, of course it shouldn't, but, then, it shouldn't happen anyway....
  14. Mmmm...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCZfIwuS4JM
  15. I have one of the early Lidl cordless multi-tools - the cells began to fail after a good while and I managed to open the battery and replace them - they are AA size, so it wasn't too difficult. It works very well and I have hardly ever felt the need to plug the mains one in since then. I did also replace the collets with a chuck and that has been a useful mod, I feel. I can't vouch for whether the later batteries are openable or not - anything can be done, I suppose, but there can be a tendency to impede the consumer these days...
  16. Current and upcoming UK Lidl offers can be found here - http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/index.htm - you may need to enter a postcode to select a store, as there can be regional variations in the current offers - usually just a few weeks difference between UK & Ireland - always worth a look every week or so... Same applies to UK Aldi - https://www.aldi.co.uk/ .
  17. This - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34932308 - might be leaf-related, although there's no mention of that in the report here. The smoke here looks engine-related, although the fire service stated the fire was around the wheels.
  18. As this member would no doubt agree - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/member.php/186-Rapid130RS . I saw a 130 on the road a couple of years ago.
  19. Always looking for an excuse for this 1970s Hungarian rally-based video. Trabants, Skodas, Ladas and an FSO.
