Ballina-Manulla train hits An Post van
Broithe replied to Garfield's topic in What's happening on the network?
I live a few miles from where this happened - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hixon_rail_crash - a 200 ton transformer hit by a train doing 75mph. Thirty years later they replaced the crossing with a bridge. I've never been a fan of level crossings - at least, not on high-speed lines.
-
It's not really predictable what load the rail will take in an upward direction - too many variables..
-
It really is one of the better shows - big, but not huge - far less manic than Warley - and fairly accessible from most of the country. ..and only a couple of miles away..

Videos are appearing..

R.I.P. (Still the best livery - when I take over it will be back.) Mmm, I'll keep my eyes open for a suitable cat....

I understand that the verse in the card went like this.. Mk 3's are orange, Plassers are yellow, My darling husband's Not such a bad fellow.

Mmmm - have you found out what she's done yet...?

Anybody recognise this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121275343322&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en - I can't find anything anywhere....
-
And so you should be - it's almost ridiculous that such a good model of such an obscure prototype should be made available to us - and we've been privy to every stage of the development. Marvellous stuff.
-
Perhaps just needs to get out more - a smart card might help cut the cost...

final years of the mk3s
Broithe replied to Southern Yard's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
Some of these pictures should have 'Parental Advisory' filters - I'm traumatised here... -
Ah, so - but was there a uniform provided?
-
This cat just needs a proper job to keep it occupied.. ..like this one - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tama_(cat) ..

Limerick-Ennis flooding - six-week closure
Broithe replied to Garfield's topic in What's happening on the network?
It's all falling apart over here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-26120583 - the South-West is disconnected and the ground-level electrification in the South East hasn't helped, either.... -
Ah, now, we can all do that sort of thing when we've had a few....

Show her how romantic trains can be - http://new.irishrail.ie/fare-and-tickets/love-train .... ..just a thought..

I have the first three - Irish Railways Miscellany Irish Railways vol 1 The Swansong of Steam in Ulster vol 2 The Irish Narrow Gauge 1939-59 vol 3 - interesting stuff. I think there's nine available altogether. Often offered on eBay.
