  1. Can be adjusted by the judicious use of felt marker pens.
  2. Further, though similar, musings - http://www.independent.ie/life/travel/travel-news/ireland-to-get-its-own-orient-express-30725822.html .
  3. Pictures via https://twitter.com/IrishRail .
  4. Another networking train - - out of Galway, this time. Complete with Mayor. .. there were sandwiches on the tables earlier - they seem to have gone..
  5. Surprised you're not in it...... ..an added attraction..
  6. Maybe they want to refit them themselves, anyway, to their own standards - possibly larger 'staterooms' - rather than conventional sleeper cabins..?
  7. Fair enough - not quite sure what they're getting at......
  8. ^ Is that video visible to you all? I got this 'warning' after I posted it - "This video is unlisted. Be considerate and think twice before sharing."
  9. Indeed, and I would have been reluctant to post this, if it hadn't come through Irish Rail itself. I'm sure that Belmond know what they're doing, far better than I do, but it does seem very ambitious on such a small network.
  10. You only have to look at the pictures of the Royal Scotsman clientèle to suspect that it might not be for 'us' - but, we can still watch it go by....
  11. Another bus fire - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-29913960 .
  12. This - http://www.belmond.com/royal-scotsman-train/ - is their Royal Scotsman train - not many people in anoraks.....
  13. The info came from tweets retweeted by Irish Rail - as legit a source as there could be....
  14. This sort of accommodation is proposed.
  15. This has been announced - http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20141105006215/en/Belmond-Launch-Luxury-Touring-Train-Ireland#.VFp5HDSsV8F - it will be interesting to see what actually happens. Will we see Mk 3s on the network again?
  16. Bray to Dublin is still on iPlayer for some reason - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01bqktm/great-british-railway-journeys-series-3-21-goes-to-ireland-bray-to-dublin - for those in the remains of the Empire - or with a proxy server...
  17. In the old days there used to be such things as Pattern Makers' Rules - these were available in various degrees of "contraction", depending upon the material being cast - they were a few % over-size, so that the casting made from a pattern constructed with them would shrink to the correct size on cooling. You could make a rule of your own to suit your contraction rate - if nobody has a more sensible solution.
  18. The Hornby R076 is not far off. Edit - Snap!
  19. Bending the backboards around corners can be beneficial, too.
  20. Somebody's hit the crossing at Ballymahon - .
  21. ..possibly been picking slivers of Perspex out for a couple of weeks..?
  22. Beautiful. How many made?
