  1. They're not quite as separate as, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are. I believe that IoM's Defense and Foreign Affairs are handled from Westminster. Anybody is free to secede, if they can cope with the obstructions. A large part of their 'function' now seems to be tax avoidance schemes, though that is more prevalent in the Channel Isles.
  2. Indeed the IoM isn't, and never has been in the EU, the same applies to the Channel Islands. Hence the rather strange tax arrangements that go on. The Queen is, rather strangely, actually Lord of Man.
  3. This could have been so much worse.... http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-news/pictures-runaway-mountain-tram-crash-drama-1-7824668
  4. If George can't get a box to turn up to him, the rest of us have no chance.....
  5. I wonder if it might even be of interest to any LNER preservationists? Might be 'worthless' - might be gold-dust......
  6. Might just be an 'odd one' that came over for some reason - maybe even just used as a disposable crate for something and not worth returning when they became redundant over here. Might not even have travelled by rail there at all.
  7. If it made sense, they might still be using them....
  8. This does look very similar.
  9. Is that first one actually a container? Like the top one shown here?
  10. At Dawlish, it is to do with wave-washing - the first one is in London, also a flooding issue, I believe - it occurs all over the place. They must use a fair-sized eye-dropper, I wounder is it's painted yellow?

    This has appeared on the MRSI Facebook page - http://www.traxeditor.com/ - I'm a pencil and paper person, do other more techy types have any opinions on it?
  12. Another landslip here after last nights weather - between Salisbury and Exeter.
  13. Glued ballast does exist in the real world, too. And this at Dawlish.
  14. Could you avoid that issue with LED strips around the lid, shining down into the cabinet?
  15. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-35903343 Cops called to get extra passengers off train.....
  16. Will it be risen in three days time?
  17. Great stuff. Of course, there is also Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/KillymardElectricMineRailway/?fref=ts - for those that want to be kept up-to-date regularly...
  18. That's my understanding, too - the centre-lines remain the same, regardless of the track gauge - it's only a loading gauge change that would cause an issue.
  19. I could also be tempted to go to 21mm - if it was possible to do it without becoming suicidal.
  20. These four and a tube of grease will cover most applications. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3663-Loco-maintenance?highlight=lubricant
  21. http://www.finescale.org.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=383 Third picture down.
  22. A solicitor's/doctor's office is available in 00, depending upon which he needs first. http://pufferwillies.co.uk/uk2ecommerce/product/bachmann_scenecraft_44-223_oo_scale_low_relief_solicitors_doctors_office/
  23. If he started now, he could have it available for Christmas.
  24. A bit of chat from the past - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3282-Spar-Advert?highlight=dorset
