Laois is the only county in Ireland that does not border a county with a maritime coastline.

Any chance of an etch?

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.

A bit of difficulty with the ballast at Dawlish.
Broithe replied to Broithe's topic in Letting off Steam
They have difficulty there on a regular basis - perhaps if they glued it with a big dropper....? It does exist in the real world, e.g. Paddington Station. The line to Holyhead along the North Wales coast was washed away for weeks back in the '70s. Similar trouble is still on-going today - http://www.railnews.co.uk/news/2013/12/06-north-wales-storm-repairs-will.html ...
