    It would be really fiddly to put that tiny black square on the window....

    If there was a Father Ted train set, I would buy it.

    Indeed. Under their various names (Austin/BMC/Leyland...) the A-Series engine was used from 1951 to 2000. And look what happened....

    Hornby exhibits many of the traits that we saw in British industry in general - traits that got rid of the motor industry, shipbuilding, motorcycles, most of the aircraft industry, etc. - even Tri-Ang and Chad Valley, that were once world leaders in toys. People often coast along with the belief that they "should exist", just because they do.

    Where I live, we have what is officially Market Square, but is generally known as BTTF Square... The temptation to 'shop' Deloreans into pictures is too great for some - frequently... ..other, more technically adept versions also exist.

    Or, if it doesn't, you can always try the magnetic path and increase the downforce onto the track without increasing (much) the weight to be raised. http://www.dccconcepts.com/resources/PDFs/030-Reviews/040-Hornby/HM-I95-05-Gradients-and-Powerbase-2015.pdf

    It is - you may have been at one of the Barry Potter Fairs, perhaps - http://www.barrypotterfairs.com/fairs.php?fair=19 ? Still a Wrenn Boy that turns up at those, if you ever need a contact. I go to about 2/3 of them. I might go up tomorrow and see if anybody is still stuck in the mud. The HS2 is supposed to run at the bottom of the hill, if they ever build it.

    Er, that's the only one that I took, apparently - all his layouts are named after local beers.... We did chat for a good while - but, not all about railways. http://sdrmweb.co.uk/Kozel_Cement.php

    Saving my favourites for the end... An Underground station - where the Sweeney appear to be closing in on the blaggers in the Transit van.. And a Czech cement works - I know how you lot like the hard stuff.

    And a few more...
  11. Broithe
    And more...
  12. Broithe
    More...

    General shots of layouts.
  14. Broithe
    Right, pictures. Nothing specifically Irish in the layouts this year, but I did spot these on offer. Not all the layouts had engines in pristine condition. Some of the buildings were also less than pristine. And some of the visitors also showed signs of wear.... I do like a nice fiddle-yard.

    I went today, but the car-parking was utter madness - if anybody does go in future years, then feel free to ask for advice. There were people getting stuck on the way in. I'll pop some pictures up later, but I did pick up a copy of this, with lots of interesting pictures in. ..and a 3L scalpel handle.

    Road are empty, could be Mayo - but, it looks a bit dry.
  17. Broithe
    I do hope so. The 216 below the side window doesn't look quite level to me.

    An Antonov 40 would cope better with a boggy runway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_A-40

    Ah, the highly sought-after Laois registration. That most inland of counties, the only county that does not border another county that has a coastline.
  20. Broithe
    Even I have just managed to do it - even if it is for tomorrow and Sunday...
  21. Broithe
    Ah, but these people often don't really understand what's going on - if somebody was just to introduce them to that gloriously definitive documentary series Father Ted, they might be steered in the right direction...?
  22. Broithe
    Mmm, not my favourite scheme...
  23. Broithe
    Is that the finished article?
  24. Broithe
    It's bloody upside-down again!
  25. Broithe
    Well done. Pancakes? Better get organised.
