  1. 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..?
  2. Nice article - http://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-irishman-s-diary-on-bray-s-cliff-walk-1.2291286 .
  3. 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...
  4. 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
  5. Perhaps they'll be adapting this advert - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4786-Let-the-train-take-the-strain ...?
  6. 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.
  7. I would call it a deep shade of Eau de Nil.
  8. Dangerously 'political'...?
  9. Banjax = Ladies' Toilet...?
  10. Society?
  11. 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
  12. There is a "security alert", resulting in no rail traffic between Connolly and Pearce stations.
  13. 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....
  14. 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..
  15. Legolip Louisa Bridge & Legoderry...?
  16. 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.
  17. Almost 56' over the buffers - so around 8.8 inches in our world. Give yourself nine inches to allow for couplings.
  18. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/content.php/310-Ammonia-Tankers-Drawings
  19. I expected full-size Lego to be available by now - you could adjust your house to suit your needs, even changing it from winter to summer configurations, perhaps. Whatever happened to the future?
  20. Remarkable - really enjoying following this.
  21. Closing date is July 12th.
  22. Tunnel vs bridge? Why not have both? This tunnel/bridge in Prague always amuses me - the 'underground' runs inside the tube, with the road on top - unless you look closely around you when you get out at the next station, there's no indication that you've actually been up in the sky, not underground...
  23. I see what you did there....
