  1. Over here, one sometimes hears people ask for a pint of black and tan* - I have yet to hear anybody ask for the alternative - though, I suspect I've been served it a few times... * this would be a half and half over there, for obvious reasons...
  2. ..and it's a terminus, too..
  3. Let's hope so - most liveries end up with a nickname and "Puke" isn't one that would suit their marketing strategy.
  4. 211 - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1498-Rail-Disasters-of-Ireland?p=23018&viewfull=1#post23018
  5. Slego Mac Diarmada..? ..if it's going to be a terminus..
  6. Gaugemaster sell Seuthe generators in various forms. http://www.gaugemaster.com/seuthe.html
  7. I have six of the Hornby lit Pullmans* - there's a fair drag from all the pick-ups - running a supply from the front may be a good idea for that reason also. *or Pullmen, who knows..?
  8. Nice article - http://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-irishman-s-diary-on-bray-s-cliff-walk-1.2291286 .
  9. The sign on the pillar seems a little bit superfluous. You would nearly have to get out to read it. Still the bridge itself is fairly noticeable - and the upstairs passengers must have reacted pretty sharply...
  10. Bridge strike in London - seven people on the top deck at the time, but only minor injuries, apparently. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-33584494
  11. Perhaps they'll be adapting this advert - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4786-Let-the-train-take-the-strain ...?
  12. Some discussion of Ian Allen at the end of this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b061txyx - it's a radio programme, so should be available to all.
  13. I would call it a deep shade of Eau de Nil.
  14. Dangerously 'political'...?
  15. Banjax = Ladies' Toilet...?
  16. Society?
  17. Suspect device in Shaw Street. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/bomb-scare-in-dublin-city-centre-causes-rail-and-traffic-disruption-1.2283444
  18. There is a "security alert", resulting in no rail traffic between Connolly and Pearce stations.
  19. Is it definitely railway? I can't quite read the signs, other than "First Class Passengers Only". Is it possible it's from a ship? The "porthole" makes me wonder that....
  20. Compromise! Warhammers in your coaches - and tell anybody that notices that they're going to a fancy-dress party and couldn't get anybody to be the designated driver..
  21. Legolip Louisa Bridge & Legoderry...?
  22. I presume that it would be something similar to this - http://www.ocinitrogen.com/Media%20Library/Ammonia%20transport%20-%20Guidance%20for%20transporting%20ammonia%20by%20rail%20(2007)%20-%20Brochure.pdf - some potentially useful pictures in here.
  23. Almost 56' over the buffers - so around 8.8 inches in our world. Give yourself nine inches to allow for couplings.
