  1. Cork/Cobh services are operating normally, but the line to Midleton is currently closed, as attempts to recover a body from a difficult location on the shoreline proceed.
  2. This covers most of it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_locomotives_of_Ireland .
  3. Very Nice! Any videos?
  4. True - I rather like the Day-Glo panel hi-vis of the previous era - effective and stylish.
  5. It doesn't really matter how fast the trains can go, the doors should only be used when they're as stationary as any slower train would also be...
  6. There are various plastic fillers out there - e.g. http://www.deluxematerials.com/scaleyputty.html . ..and the Squadron putties..
  7. I think the contrasting door thing is more about partially-sighted passengers finding the doors than the emergency services. My local hospital has Braille repeats of the many signs' wordings in the bottom right hand corner of each one - handy, if the blind person can actually find the sign....
  8. As far as I've ever seen any 00 or H0 loco will run anywhere that any other would - just subject to being DC or DCC. You can have physical clearance issues - even at a smaller scale, some H0 stuff can be very large.

    RIP Bob Symes

    Very sad, indeed - back when presenters were expected to really know about things. Both he and Raymond Baxter will never be equalled. It is a bygone time...
  11. Beautiful!
  12. 737s travel by rail during the assembly process... ..but, it doesn't always go completely to plan..
  13. Certainly. OTC marching in the playground in the dinner hour, etc... Lindsay Anderson's film If.... is almost a documentary of the madhouses that these places were.. [video=youtube;PmoHv8Mf_-o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmoHv8Mf_-o
  14. Still considerable delays, and an unrelated power failure this morning didn't help...
  15. I went to a few schools of "that type" - enjoying yourself was seen as an act of mutiny.
  16. .. has given us access to this picture from 1999.
  17. And, to his right, Eric Burdon?
  18. And, of course, you could twin it with its own eponymous 34081 92 Squadron loco..
  19. Nice, QJ-K flies as part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
  20. Closed for the rest of the day - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30863024 .
  21. 200 years of toy and model railways. Exhibition runs from March 20th to Setember 4th. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-30793868
  22. Currently four on eBay and around the £100 mark.
  23. Any model of that is likely to be H0, but it was a big lump and you should get away with it.
  24. 1,985 dkk = €267....
