  1. Was there any visible difference in the underfloor equipment between the Standards and the Super Standard/First Class carriages?
  2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-28559950 .....
  3. A fatality on the track near Athy today - .
  4. Anything they can do...... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-23944852
  5. I'll set 'em up, you knock 'em down.....
  6. If you've got a spare hour and a half, then watch this - it's almost like a documentary about that school, if only my year there had had the same ending.... [video=youtube;PmoHv8Mf_-o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmoHv8Mf_-o
  7. http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/2014/07/trains-regain-their-prestige-its-time-trip-through-their-chequered-past - via Irish Rail's twitter.
  8. None of those - but I did go to one where the good lads got to march around with Lee-Enfields in the dinner hour. We discovered that the place where they were kept, under the stage, also housed a Bren-gun and a three-inch mortar.
  9. The Flower-Class corvette turns up now and then, if you have space for it... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/markwalters/Corvettes/macha1.jpg
  10. Didn't they bury some in a quarry because of the asbestos?
  11. I went to ten schools, often a long way from wherever we were living at the time - for one year, I had to go eighteen miles there, and back, every day, in what amounted to a old van with wooden benches that were fitted fore and aft - whenever the brakes were applied we all slid up to the front in a heap... There would be a queue of clip-boards a mile long if you tried it today.
  12. A career in the Observer Corps beckons.....
  13. I believe that it's been repainted in Dutch colours. http://www.flyinginireland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2412&start=0
  14. http://visitwicklow.ie/ai1ec_event/toy-model-collectors-fair-bray-wheelers-clubhouse/ ? Whoops, that was in June?
  15. Eh, what? Merely answering Wrenn's question about whether or not the link works.
  16. BTP must have a highly efficient internet surveillance system. Having said that I've never seen a BTP officer, I just gave someone a lift to the station and two of them were coming out as we went in. They appeared to be on a mission or I would have asked them if I could take a picture (risking arrest as a terrorist suspect).... The only available parking space was next to their car, too. I'm getting a little paranoid now.
