  1. Interesting. Would the reason for the pre-heat days in advance be because the coaches might have been in storage and more to do with drying any damp out of the interiors rather than just heat? I can't imagine the coaches needing more than a few hours just to warm up the inside air temperature.

     

     

     

    Well I remember flying on 747-100 a few times many moons ago, with a dead 5th engine bolted onto a special wing mount inboard of the no 3 for transport purposes.

  2. Don't forget that the Great Famine had a devestating impact on Irish history, population and economics... including railways. Many peoples' first experience of the then incredible technology of rail transport was as they left the country!

    There's not many other places with a smaller population now than 200 years ago.
