Boubacar Barry - the sort of goalkeeper you need - saved a penalty and scored the winner.

The flags are right - if you're from Côte d'Ivoire.... ..handy, really..

..has been won by the Ivory Coast. A chance for the whole of Ireland to celebrate in unison.

Mmmm, a project for Weshty..? ..and always remembering to avoid the potential for a short-circuit.. They do seem to be appearing around the network.

Invoice is in the post... Best not to do it on top of a DART...

I can't afford to lend you two and six, but I can turn that upside-down... ..or, the right way up..

Perhaps a half crown would have been better for a size comparison......

..with the Adams Radial.. ..it'll probably be a while before we actually see a model - but, would it be of interest to us? It has an air of familiarity, but I don't really know my steam stuff very well....

This is a slightly smaller one - not easy to keep your eye on it..... ..might be worth trying it full-screen..

'tis crazy, innit..? Must be nearly impossible to video in flight.....

Looks great...!

Even worse if there was no driver - similar loco involved here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0zh0xAhANo ..in Argentina..

They still look a bit odd now....

"On the 8th June 1961, loco No.B132 reached Ballaghaderreen Station with a special from Kilfree Junction, a branchline which had remained the haunt of steam motive power until closure in February 1963. ©J.E.Aitken" Plenty of other pictures on there in this livery.

Fancy a flying aircraft for your layout? This one is just a little under-scale.....

A fact endorsed by the Gardaí - .

It was even bigger than it looked - there's chaps standing on that 'drawbridge' near the bow..

I was just surprised by how 'unreal' it looked - it was like seeing something CGI, but in real life... You do get the odd smaller one in Holyhead now. It's a bit deeper than DL, though.

The picture occurs in here - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/75112-crossing-vees/ .

In the old days, when travelling on a steam train, the windows were usually filthy - it was common practice to walk up the train along the platform, to find a good seat - and, then to wipe a clear patch, so that you could see out, and then hope the seat would still be vacant when you got to it. I've seen this done on a few model layouts - mostly with more senior operators, it must be said....

Looks plenty well enough to me - just tell people it's weathering.
