  1. There's an offer not to be sniffed at.
  2. Or do a bank job..?
  3. Will the pneumatics actually work for loading and unloading? Is 00 scale cement powder available?
  4. Maybe IRM will do some N stuff soon.....
  5. Lovely. I've always said that if I ever have twins, they're going to be called Regan and Carter. The chap who played Haskins in The Sweeney was in our local outdoor Shakespeare do one year - unfortunately, it wasn't King Leer, which features the character of the King's daughter, Regan...
  6. Some previous chat about gradients - and an even more previous one referred to in the second post. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3739-Gradients?highlight=gradients
  7. Perfection, we are prepared to wait for....
  8. Is that grass that's actually growing in the joints - or possibly just the remains of strewn straw?
  9. The Royal Mail restrictions are quite complicated. http://www.royalmail.com/business/help/sending/restricted-goods
  10. Ratio do a kit for what they call a Cattle Dock. I've always called them Cattle Banks, though I've not had many conversations about them.
  11. Ballybrophy's was still extant in 2008.
  12. Or get an http://imgur.com/ account - you can post direct from there - after you have revolved any that need revolving. All my own pictures on here arrive that way.
  13. My source reveals that €30,000 has been allocated to repair and upgrade the road junctions either side of Ballybrophy bridge - they can be rather exciting at times, especially trying to turn right from the southern side of the bridge.
  14. The track is the same 00 will run on H0 and vice versa. The scale difference is about 10% - it is noticeable, but whether it's too much difference is up to you. H0 road vehicles are less of a problem than H0 rolling stock, from an appearance point of view.
  15. I suspect it was probably a Pendelino, but one imagines there was 'pressure' to keep things running...
  16. Mmmm, this could have been rather more serious - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-35401921 .
  17. Us mere mortals can't edit after a while - 24 hours, I think - but, people will cope, it's clear enough from the above.
  18. Some comments from the island - https://mers.org.im/blog/articles/view/id/207/Douglas%20Horse%20Tramway%20-%20Manx%20Residents%20Have%20Their%20Say
  19. Alton Towers is cutting down the amount of time it's open this year. Partly as a result of last year's disastrous collision, but I get the impression it's been dropping off a bit there anyway..
  20. 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.
  21. I wonder if the RPA/TII could be persuaded to reinvigorate it, as a rural Luas programme? OK, I don't, really...
  22. 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
  23. Weshty'll be along in a minute.....
  24. Fair enough. That's no problem. Not like me to still be here for Last Orders.......
