  1. My other Forum has been going about eight years and we've had the cops round four times..... It has been fairly sedate lately, though we did have a threat to fire-bomb a café a couple of years ago.
  2. They could just deny that they were within 150 miles of it at the time - it'll work eventually.....
  3. People used to buy tickets to the station past Gatwick and get off early, as it was cheaper - so they passed a by-law making it an offence to get off before your stated destination.
  4. Well, it was an RN sub after all - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-34177386 .
  5. The market-testing seems to have yielded a positive result....

    Happy birthday

    Happy Birthday.
  7. All will be revealed in good time, I expect.
  8. The Facebook link is not available (to me) and the Twitter link brings up this - https://twitter.com/irishrailwaymod ..... Is it a manufacturer, or a retailer? That's a shop location, if they're using the ground floor..
  9. Will do. Let us hope that it keeps his beets regular....... I assume that you will be taking charge of the remote control?
  10. Scraping the bottom with that thread title....
  11. If it has pick-ups from the rails and it has a DC motor (which it will have), then it can be DCCed, subject to the practicalities of breaking into the wiring and hiding the extra gubbins successfully.
  12. Gaugemaster still supply similar units - http://www.gaugemaster.com/modules.html .
  13. Relco seem to be capable of bigger stuff these days.... http://www.relcolocomotives.com/
  14. I worked with this sort of thing - I've never trusted electricity.......
  15. Ah, right.
  16. Another one - between Connolly and Tara Street - .
  17. You don't have to be Indian to be blasé about railway tracks - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-34065369 - that's on a Southern Region track, where the third rail was (luckily for him) isolated for some work going on - normally it would be 750 volts and would kill you now.
  18. Is that true? The inside rail is connected to the outside rail, and vice versa. I don't see it working.
  19. In the previous Bombay Railway documentary, the driver they featured was asked how many fatalities had occurred whilst he was driving - he wasn't sure, but felt that it was probably more than seventy.
  20. I note that we have Gardaí called to deal with disruptive passengers for the second time in two days.
  21. 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.
  22. 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....
  23. My informant states that "serious works" are to commence shortly.
  24. Or is re-opened with cruise ships in mind and chartered excursion trains...?
  25. They look well enough to me - don't let the weedkiller leak onto them...
