  1. And, of course, you could twin it with its own eponymous 34081 92 Squadron loco..
  2. Nice, QJ-K flies as part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
  3. Closed for the rest of the day - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30863024 .
  4. 200 years of toy and model railways. Exhibition runs from March 20th to Setember 4th. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-30793868
  5. Currently four on eBay and around the £100 mark.
  6. Any model of that is likely to be H0, but it was a big lump and you should get away with it.
  7. 1,985 dkk = €267....
  8. Looking for stuff on the K Class (honest!), I came across this gem - ideal if 'she' lets you spend money on railway videos.... http://dodjer.com/drama/30003-The_Stationmaster_s_Wife_1977_Repost.html The lackluster and plodding Bolweiser has the (mis)fortune to be married to the town's siren; his trusting nature leads him into serious trouble when she beds nearly every available guy. It's in German, of course, but with subtitles, should you need them.
  9. Rudyard Lake Steam Railway. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-30830799 Asking price £350,000.
  10. Ballyhale crossing struck by a vehicle. Lansdown Road crossing also damaged, but by the wind.....
  11. Looking for something else that James Bolam was in, I found this monologue of a tube driver's final day at work. [video=youtube;undQ-3yZwPM] A pleasant little watch.....
  12. Well, we all know that she won, really. She appears to have been wearing some sort of obscure away strip.
  13. Rodriguez wins - and she'd bought a new dress specially.. I'm surprised, there's money to be "made" from women's football...
  14. They are, as you suggest, used to separate the 'dangerous' elements of the train. The term is also sometimes used to describe a vehicle with different couplers at each end - used to enable coupling of vehicles with different couplers.
  15. Mmmm - slip him a camera....?
  16. The big day(s) approaches - http://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/exhibition.php - 31st Jan & 1st Feb. Well worth a journey ( only a couple of miles for me)...
  17. Not really the same sort of thing, but this loco - http://www.schalke.eu/en/node/48 - is allegedly capable of pulling up a 1,500 tonne train of unbraked wagons.
  18. I understand that, on the Lickey Incline, and similar, they would stop at the top and hitch the wagon brakes half-on.
  19. Some discussion on the effects on drivers with Sean O'Rourke this morning - . http://www.rte.ie/radio1/today-with-sean-o-rourke/
  20. This rather polite sign has appeared at Ballybrophy, in order to get the Mark 4 sets to make the best use of the platform length available, I presume. There's also this new, padlocked clamp on the points on the Nenagh branch platform, now that running around is very rarely required, maybe only on the odd special once every few years...
  21. Mmmm, I was going to ask if she has a sister......
  22. Excellent, you must have been a very good boy....
  23. Copied from http://www.marksmodels.com/about/ OPENING TIMES ALL DUBLIN AREA SHOPS MON - SAT 10AM TO 6PM, SUN HAWKINS ST 1PM TO 5PM
  24. If she turns up to the interview with that engine in her pocket, then she's in! Indoctrination is the key. Persevere.
  25. Do you not still have any offspring left that you could prevail upon to enter the hallowed profession?
