Yes, and 181s.

As generally despised as they are by the purists, I like them - a solid, compact and powerful last attempt at a 'modern' steamer.

What is down the 'subway'?

I have one in stock, for that very reason.

Another variation, on a Camel fuselage, intended to confuse the perception of the direction of travel.

Be fair! If they tell you, you'll have forgotten before you get upstairs.

That's what you get for being in the Far East. I'm currently at 7½ degrees west, which is worth a whole half an hour more (at the end).

They were working for me, then they stopped, even ones I have already seen... is it possible that you have blundered into the Dark Web and upset some gangland overlords?

There is 2' track on the Curragh, for the firing range, I believe. A little overgrown now.

There is still quite a community devoted to Morse Code. One issue the more enthusiastic adherents can have is 'wander', where the key can drift across the desk surface. This is more prevalent in the 'paddle' style of key, as seen here, with a bit of additional weight, to reduce the problem.

Most bridges on the Premier Line are original - any new ones are unlikely to be under-gauge, I imagine. They are more beams than arches. Platforms might be more of a problem for carriages than locos? So, not a problem. It would only need a turning arrangement at the ends, for any runs that are likely to happen. It seems unlikely that track weight capacity would be less now than it was back then. Is there any chance of electrifying it and shoving a big speaker in? And maybe one of those ultrasonic humidifier things for the steam effect.

Fantasy layouts can be as bizarre as you like and still have a level of credibility. Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch would be well beyond ridiculous, if it wasn't real...

Intensive pilgrimage travels to the Holy Stone of Clonrichert would have kept the line open. Knock managed to get an airport from a similar set-up.

We may not know, we cannot tell. What pains he had to bear, But we believe it was for us, That he laid the track right there. There are earlier versions of the lyrics...

Two brown hills, Far away, without a city wall, Where the track was ballasted, And bridged up to the wall...

Needs a 'chew chew' sound.

He can definitely be termed a "worker".

It looks like there may be a damp/mould issue there. Often the case with these old buildings.

The premises will occasionally change hands, like pubs. Whatever the denomination involved, I am impressed that someone is devout enough to ballast vertical surfaces. I wonder if that is the result of a penance from a particularly interesting confession or an attempt at getting a very worthwhile indulgence?

The hardest thing is getting the squeak right, I hear.

You can redeem yourself. As a seasoned caroller, she'll soon find a tune to fit these lyrics. Old toy trains, little toy tracks Little toy drums coming from a sack Carried by a man dressed in white and red Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed? Close your eyes Listen to the skies All is calm, all is well Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells Bringin' old toy trains, little toy tracks Little toy drums coming from a sack Carried by a man dressed in white and red Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed? Close your eyes Listen to the skies All is calm, all is well Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells Bringin' old toy trains, little toy tracks Little toy drums coming from a sack Carried by a man dressed in white and red Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?

Back in the old days, writing ink was not cheap and abbreviations were common - rather like printer ink is now. The 'Xmas' form may have evolved from the Greek abbreviation for Christ - Chi Rho - looking rather like X and P combined. The X signifying a hard 'Ch' sound, as in Chiropractor, and the Rho an 'R' sound.. Also, it was often used in carvings.
