    I worked for a UK company that merged with a French company - I found the French to be much less susceptible to the consultancy culture.

    I also worked in the private sector, and the amount of con-artists around, even twenty years ago, was startling. I am now having flashbacks....

    My informant states that "serious works" are to commence shortly.
  4. Broithe
    Or is re-opened with cruise ships in mind and chartered excursion trains...?
  5. Broithe
    They look well enough to me - don't let the weedkiller leak onto them...

    Another "We Fit" lorry didn't - just up the road from the last one... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-34026667

    At the time, it will have probably seemed quite plausible - then, after the delay of the war, Alcock & Brown, Lindberg, bigger and faster liners, and the general economic state will have caused people to think again. And the fact that it would be located in a different state from a lot of its market...... Trans-Atlantic flights to Knock may be its modern legacy?

    This starts on BBC2 next Monday - for those that have access - and those can stomach Dan Snow... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02xxsb5

    Mostly here - http://ionaddeirbhile.ie/deirbhiles-blog/blacksod-bay-railway-terminus - and Google searches - it looks like WW1 put paid to it initially and, of course, it wasn't resurrected after the war, for many reasons.

    Found it - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1416-New-Recruit!!?p=21672#post21672 .

    Somebody was talking about it once - I can't find it now, though - maybe it was on the old site...?
  12. Broithe
    And more views.

    This might be of some interest to those following this thread. http://shropshire.gov.uk/news/2015/08/a-world-of-lego-comes-to-shrewsbury-museum-art-gallery-on-14-september/

    You may need to be 'on' Facebook to see this - - but, there's some interesting pictures.

    You can see piles of both pink and grey here -
  21. Broithe
    It's just different stone, it's pink from new - it actually gets less 'bright' as it ages/weathers. I think the pink stuff may be granite and the grey is limestone.
  22. Broithe
    That seems to be a good choice to me. ..but there are areas where ballast that is virtually pink is in evidence..
  23. Broithe
    Yeah - looking at it again, the wheels do look a bit "Hong Kong". That might also explain the lack of a maker's mark.

    I think it has a bit of a Trix look about it.....
