  1. Had them going over the house for a few years, you do get used to it. Did lose a Thermos flask to one once, the noise just broke the glass liner. If a Vulcan catches fire, sometimes you just have to bugger off and leave it to burn... ..the two extra tanks and the engines are still there, the rest might patch up..
  2. Excellent work. Thanks for all your efforts.
  3. Yeah, I realise now - I got carried away - I should have suggested sixpence. Sssshh, tell people that it's a very specialist weathering technique - that simulates the fading that exposure to the Sun produces over many years. It's very hard to achieve and is really only recommended for real experts.
  4. Derailed in Montana, moving fuselages between assembly plants - http://www.wsj.com/articles/boeing-assessing-damage-to-aircraft-components-after-train-accident-1404584812 .
  5. They weren't expecting this, either....
  6. They have to take the wings off for the tunnels....
  7. I went to school with a "Jinty", whose real name, I presume, was Virginia. It might have been spelt "Ginty", but names like that are rarely written down.
  8. And, if you need to run a hose over that level crossing....
  9. Reading up on the Soviet Buran shuttle this morning, I can see where you're coming from...
  10. I had a proper read of it last night and it seemed very good to me. Also, it was nice to see this Forum credited - I assume the Boss will be slipping you a fiver. Well done all round. I look forward to getting my copy signed one day, if you ever venture a bit further northwards.
  11. The Wrenn Boy will have made an offer by now.....
  12. Only problem I've had on any Murphy item is one slightly wobbly wheel on a 201. Never had any Heljan stuff to compare.
  13. A fine job - tell Mrs 84C that I said you should have an extra shilling pocket money this week.
  14. My source says "CIE have released funds for work" on the County Bounds Bridge - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?cid=720795471579284272&q=Errill,+Co.+Laois,+Ireland&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Errill,+County+Laois,+Ireland&ll=52.845731,-7.721415&spn=0.022887,0.038581&t=h&z=15&vpsrc=6&layer=c&cbll=52.845842,-7.722093&panoid=itdVcl1Qkodod3nwN0jwZQ&cbp=12,69.03,,1,6.46 - just by the old Lisduff station. I don't know what they actually intend to do.
  15. I can't be the only one that saw "New Waterford Layout" and got all excited - I did wonder why it was in the Prototype section... ..I expected it in Irish Model Layouts.. ...until I actually read it...
  16. If only it had been the Tu 126, NATO Codename "Moss", it would have only needed one extra letter....
  17. Just for you.
  18. Got my copy - looks very nice. Finally stopped pouring rain and I ventured out.....
  19. Looking rather biblical here...
  20. They were there at Heuston, as were the Trains May Pass At Speed signs, which always amused me. As I see that I've also said above.....
  21. Re-opened a bit earlier than expected - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-31858537 . It's been going on for 170 years, it might be sorted this time......
  22. There may have to be an Inquisition about this comment..
  23. Only about half of them, I think. The other half are 'pure' electric. If I'm reading it right....
  24. Seems to be rather in the Javelin style.
  25. Hitachi. Eventually, it will replace the 125 fleet, and some other stuff. Overhead electric, mostly, but some of the power-cars will have diesel generators for use on non-OHLE lines...
