  1. Well done!!
  2. The Butterley station building has some potential for Irishisation.... http://www.hornby.com/shop/black-friday-sale/butterley-station.html
  3. What a fantastic first post - asking where the toilets are! And a great name, too. Somebody will be along shortly with the necessary recall, I'm sure.
  4. We still have a lot of level crossings here on the 'mainland' and I'm fairly sure that I haven't been over more than one this century - I go out of my way to avoid them. The one that I used to have to use, I have now discovered a route to avoid it. The crossings can be on quite serious high-speed mainline sections - we had this one only recently - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-30047183 . A few miles from me is the Hixon crossing, which was, at last, replaced with a bridge a few years ago, long after the 1968 crash. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hixon_rail_crash As you can tell, I don't really like the things...
  5. Gardaí struggling with the crowd - .
  6. Short article - http://www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/william-dargan-pioneer-of-irish-rail-1.2010783 .
  7. This was yesterday's 'amusement' over here... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-30138390 .
  8. These days, it's necessary, in some areas, to have anti-RPG cages on, to force the detonation a bit early. They also give an opportunity for hanging some camouflage on. This is a Spartan under all that.
  9. Working OK for me.....
  10. For stuff along the lines of the cement bubble, I've always been in favour of the models being supplied un-numbered, but with a sheet of numbers to be applied as required by the (new) owner.
  11. That's eminently sensible - the cement bubble might be a good place to start - popular, unique, and probably required in some numbers.
  12. You have read my mind! Any idea where I've put the charger for my video camera...?
  13. Entire site here - http://www.uk.morettoshop.com/mens-underwear/t-shirts/garda-mens-underwear-v-neck-t-shirt-size-mm-0046-73.html - devoted to Garda underwear, for those with a specialist interest...
  14. Internet surveillance suggests that it's somebody's birthday today.... Many happy returns of the day.
  15. There's Irish interest this year. You can even vote, if you like. Here - http://www.fifa.com/ballon-dor/puskas-award/index.html . Some noses could be put out of joint......
  16. Run & Hide. A slightly more environmentally sound version of Park & Ride...?
  17. They'll be empties......
  18. Pure filth. The very purest.....
  19. Garda statement - . "Gardaí are not commenting on last Sunday's shooting, in excess of one million witnesses, but no arrests to date..... "
  20. A possibility that somebody was washed off a seawall not far away - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-30043175 .
  21. Worked for me - you're just not looking hard enough at it...
  22. Bridge strike between Limerick and the Junction -https://twitter.com/IrishRail/status/532973011151114240 .
  23. Might be one less now...
  24. Dawlish suffers again.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-30040238 .
  25. I've got me name down...
