  1. If you ever had an exhibition layout featuring this, you would have to carry documentary evidence for the doubters...
  2. This sort of thing.. From - https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/turf-train-in-ireland.517242/
  3. Marvellous!
  4. Model Rail No 198, August 2014.
  5. I wonder if this thread should have an advisory warning from the mods? Some people could find it a bit dispiriting.... I wonder if driver 301 is an eye surgeon in real life? This is well beyond merely impressive.
  6. This?
  7. I remember(?) a full sized shark sculpture above some terraced houses, near the gasometer - some sort of "art installation", I presume.. ..or a hallucination..
  8. I tried that and he just looked at me.....
  9. Wasn't there a house in Ringsend with a shark on the roof for a while - about 15-20 years ago..?
  10. They are, but it's not a NEMS fitting - it seems to be specific to Hornby. I just wonder what I should call it. ..though, earwigs seems clear enough to me.. Handy things, even when not fitted in the 'correct' socket - it's easy enough to attach with a small screw and the claws can grip round a bit of the exposed thread.
  11. I had to buy some of these from the Train Man last week... ..my description of them as "earwigs" didn't help, but the Hornby packaging only calls them "Couplings" and gives the part number - is there an official name for this style of attachment?
  12. Some other signs have also gone reflective. ..I may have to have a 'face'lift.. This sign has been there for many years - and is getting a bit tired now..
  13. Well, after the controversy that this caused, I went armed with a black felt pen and some white sticky tape, but was confronted by this... ..a new sign - and reflective, for some odd reason..
  14. 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.
  15. They could just deny that they were within 150 miles of it at the time - it'll work eventually.....
  16. 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.
  17. Well, it was an RN sub after all - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-34177386 .
  18. The market-testing seems to have yielded a positive result....

    Happy birthday

    Happy Birthday.
  20. All will be revealed in good time, I expect.
  21. 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..
  22. Will do. Let us hope that it keeps his beets regular....... I assume that you will be taking charge of the remote control?
  23. Scraping the bottom with that thread title....
  24. 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.
