    Indeed, and I would have been reluctant to post this, if it hadn't come through Irish Rail itself. I'm sure that Belmond know what they're doing, far better than I do, but it does seem very ambitious on such a small network.

    What more do we want?

    You only have to look at the pictures of the Royal Scotsman clientèle to suspect that it might not be for 'us' - but, we can still watch it go by....

    This - http://www.belmond.com/royal-scotsman-train/ - is their Royal Scotsman train - not many people in anoraks.....

    The info came from tweets retweeted by Irish Rail - as legit a source as there could be....

    This sort of accommodation is proposed.

    This has been announced - http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20141105006215/en/Belmond-Launch-Luxury-Touring-Train-Ireland#.VFp5HDSsV8F - it will be interesting to see what actually happens. Will we see Mk 3s on the network again?

    Bray to Dublin is still on iPlayer for some reason - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01bqktm/great-british-railway-journeys-series-3-21-goes-to-ireland-bray-to-dublin - for those in the remains of the Empire - or with a proxy server...

    In the old days there used to be such things as Pattern Makers' Rules - these were available in various degrees of "contraction", depending upon the material being cast - they were a few % over-size, so that the casting made from a pattern constructed with them would shrink to the correct size on cooling. You could make a rule of your own to suit your contraction rate - if nobody has a more sensible solution.

    Bending the backboards around corners can be beneficial, too.

    I won some tickets to Warley a couple of years ago - never again - it was like somebody had dug up a mass grave with some railway layouts in it.

    Might be wise to leave the canopy open, they were notorious for filling the cockpit with carbon monoxide - various modifications were applied (longer exhaust stubs, sealing the small door shut, etc), but it was never really cured and a lot of pilots used the oxygen mask continuously, whenever the engine was actually running.... ..keep the extractor fan in that spray booth running..
