    What did the Ivory Coast ever do to them, anyway?

    Are they "virtual things" - for use in a simulator game?

    Enough to set your teeth on edge......

    Still on a dental theme, the vibratory toothbrushes can be quite handy for cleaning your intricate parts. The handles that take AA cells are much better than the rechargeable handles, I find - and, of course, you can use rechargeable cells in them anyway.

    Bugger! I got distracted about getting the gauge right.

    If you can't operate them directly with a straight rod, you might try Bowden cables. It's a bit fiddly to get working right, but reliable, when you do. The ones in the picture both worked pairs of linked points which operated synchronously, if that makes sense.

    Looks like you had a ballast, anyway.

    Great work! OK, it's a lot of ballasting, but the shovel might not be the best tool for application on such a fine scale....

    Interesting - this is a bit earlier. http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,711048,733307,11,9

    Some of the terminology seemed a little brusque....

    Worked for me - is that a station announcement in the background..?
  15. Broithe
    I wonder if the real reason they did it was to avoid modellers in the future arguing about the correct scale gauge?

    Top class work, but be careful with these replicas - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-35595103 .

    Or Ballygunge?

    Quite a gradient on that siding, too.

    Some MiG 19s took off from short sections of rail...

    In the winter of '63, that was virtually all we had - we had to really ration the coal, in case no more ever arrived before the summer. No electricity and the water supply was frozen. The only water supply for weeks was melted snow - I can still taste the paraffin in it now. We had an electric cooker as well, or rather, we didn't - so all the cooking was done on the Aladdin, too

    Tito also had a Blue Train - with some familiar looking locos.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tito%27s_Blue_Train

    From the Wanderer's earlier comments, it looks like 8209 was a passive 'passenger'.

    "Spinning the disc" sounds so Olde Worlde now....
