Fitting Chip to Murphys 071
Broithe replied to Sulzer201's question in DCC, Electrics and Electronics
The soft ones are much more likely to cam out and knacker the recess, though.. A set like this will get a lot of use if you mess about with models and other delicate things. The little torque-bar is handy, I drilled the three larger sizes of screwdrivers in mine to take it, too.

Fitting Chip to Murphys 071

Size 0 fits nicely - but it's worth getting a set, maybe down to 00. Some of the cheaper sets available these days can be a bit soft. I use an old Tandy one that I must have had for at least 30 years... -
Found it. [video=youtube;Xm-62z-ksEM]

Great stuff - I see the printed loco on Castlefinn has been painted now.. -
I'm not, but you certainly hit the ground here running yesterday...

I feel like I know you already..

This is my security clip - further modified to hold some solder and so avoid spending ages looking for it. I also put a hole in the cover so that I can see if the LED is lit - the switch is OK, but not the most robust thing I've ever seen.. It should be safe to keep in the toolbox now, without being accidentally turned on.

Nice. I hope that's a practice round.....

It's here - https://www.google.co.uk/maps?ll=52.768314,-2.032728&spn=0.001358,0.002411&t=h&z=19 .. ..not that it's visible..

This was it at the time - I believe that it was based on the Messines Ridge.

I took Great Uncle John's engraved shell case up there, as he didn't have the pleasure of the Western Front. He had rather better weather in the Dardanelles. Even on a model battlefield, we have to have Health and Safety...

This enormous trench system model is currently being excavated near me. It was built in the First World War as a training aid. The idea is the scan it when is all been uncovered and then cover it up again, as it's quite fragile. They will then construct a virtual model and eventually, maybe, a physical replica elsewhere.

Here we are. They managed to outline the boundaries of the newly-built RAF maintenance depot very accurately. My house is just above the 'T' in Teil VI, but they don't seem to be targeting me.. The tank factory is where the tight bend in the railway is, right at the bottom of the picture.

There used to be a video on YouTube of two lads doing the Crimebusters thing, verbatim, as part of a school performance - but I can't find it now..

Sometimes, Gardaí will request that you stop filming them..

I'll try to sort the picture out in the next few days. In the late 80s, we were digging a new test-pit and came across a cylindrical item that wasn't on the plans. The factory's been there since 1917 and so the plans are a bit iffy, but, nobody ever met the Germans that dropped the bombs to ask them how many there really was. Four went off, but that didn't meant there weren't five - or six. We were close to getting the bomb squad in when we discovered that it was an unknown sewer pipe. Lucky we didn't get it blown up....

No - I genuinely doubt anybody even saw it - he probably came from Holland and the radar coverage was iffy on that side. There was bugger all here to shoot at it with anyway. The picture turned up after the war. The detail and info on it is remarkable. The only 'error' is the site numbers of the RAF base, and I doubt it was of any importance that they used the right number if they tried to bomb it. The town only got four bombs in the end - somebody got jumped on the way to Liverpool one night and dumped them to make a run for it.. By pure fluke, two of the bombs fell on what was then a tank factory..
-
Steady, don't you know there's a war on? I'll take a picture of it one day and post it. I often wonder if anybody even saw them. The shadows suggest that it was about nine in the morning.
-
Very nice. Is that a Tempest below it?
-
Sad news - commiserations from me to all concerned.
-
An excellent qualification for posting on here...

I took a Kavanagh bus into Portlaoise in the late 90s and got roped into handing the parcels out as we went along..
-
I picked up one of those, too - I'll have to build a shed to construct it in first.. Always been intrigued by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Ulrich_Rudel since I read his book. Hasegawa used to do a 1/8th scale Fokker triplane!
