  1. Indeed, he gets a quiet weekend all to himself - and then she'll be back home with his magnifying stand on Monday.
  2. Old advertising hoardings?
  3. Great shots there - the Mk 3s certainly were much nicer from the passenger's viewpoint.
  4. Ah. That sounds familiar....
  5. A friend of mine has one, probably from another source. It's quite effective. Seen here at 1.05 onwards. Edit - Whoops, I should have mentioned that it's in the green shed on the top right of the picture.... ..it can be seen from other angles later on..
  6. Interesting tweet just now - "The 17.35 Heuston to Waterford service will be terminating @ Kilkenny due to high tide . Bus transfers will be in place for rest of journey." - .

  15. I've had stuff off you indirectly - and almost directly, but you were missing from the stand at Warley a couple of years back and your mate took the sale...
  16. Take your time, we don't want it to end up FUBAR.
  17. All sorts of terms here - http://www.railway-technical.com/LAAR-Mk24.pdf - from a UK perspective, but it covers the carriage abbreviations, which could be handy.
  18. Indeed, DFDS is a shipping company, I was mislead by DFD's - whoops... RPA - Rail Procurement Agency. MRSI - Model railway Society of Ireland. IRRS - Irish Railway Record Society.
  19. MPD - motive power depot. MPV - multi-purpose vehicle. UTA - Ulster Transport Authority. NIR - Northern Ireland Railways. ..I think.. Not sure about DFD - Dublin Fire Department...?
  20. Pop the two plastic gears off, by lifting the springs and run the motor whilst holding a meths-soaked brush against the shaft. Soak the pinion in meths, as well, at the same time - dry - then re-assemble with Loctite or superglue..
  21. During the worst of the 1995 fiasco, Yorkshire Water workers were refusing to drive marked vehicles or even to wear identifying uniforms.... http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/latest-news/top-stories/remember-1995-1-2101006
