    Nice article here - http://www.irsociety.co.uk/Archives/22/Guinness.htm - though, I see no mention of the total mileage.. A layout one day..?

    We used to move regularly, so a 'real' train set was not practical - I had one of the tiny Lone Star sets, where everything was die-cast - even the track..

    I worked in a factory that still had an internal railway into the '90s, though it was disconnected from the mainline in the '70s, I think. This loco, now at Foxfield Railway was one of the last pair that ran in there, along with a battery electric. It was an important skill to be able to avoid twisting your ankle in the slots where the track was embedded - not something that I always managed to achieve, especially on the outdoor sections in the winter...

    The point-work around the crossover in the door did allow separation of the two main ovals - and there were three places where the controllers could be plugged in to allow for this.

    This - - says it was built at Inchicore in 1915 and withdrawn in 1928.

    Expo do a rather nice 00 gauge scale rule - allows you to work from real-life drawings without calculating every measurement.

    Sad, sad news, JHB - we will be relying on you having listened well....

    Luckily for you, I'm not a moderator - if I spot a double-entendre or an innuendo, I like to whip it out immediately. Keep it up.

    Or Embassy vouchers...?
  11. Broithe
    Those of a delicate disposition might like to gloss over some of the more risqué staff names.....

    Oooh, good, I've found it - https://www.facebook.com/KillymardElectricMineRailway - one short video of a test run, too...

    Line re-opened now.

    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.

    This covers most of it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_locomotives_of_Ireland .

    Very Nice! Any videos?
  17. Broithe
    True - I rather like the Day-Glo panel hi-vis of the previous era - effective and stylish.

    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...

    There are various plastic fillers out there - e.g. http://www.deluxematerials.com/scaleyputty.html . ..and the Squadron putties..

    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....

    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.
  22. Broithe
    That could avoid the expense of a sound chip.

    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...

    Beautiful!

    737s travel by rail during the assembly process... ..but, it doesn't always go completely to plan..
