  1. Rather like the Fairchild crash - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Fairchild_Air_Force_Base_B-52_crash .
  2. At least she was there to provide some cushioning of the impact...
  3. Pempoul needs to be seen in 'real life' - the colouring is particulary excellent.
  4. Excellent name!
  5. Looking North-East out of Ballybrophy.. ..you might need to ease off for that bit..
  6. Would that not have been Fogarty's Mill - http://sources.nli.ie/Record/MS_UR_082859 - it matters to some of us...
  7. Aye, these are the Roco ones that I had in mind. http://www.roco.com/products/Roco/46096.aspx
  8. Roco, I think.
  9. Pempoul is still probably the best modelling that I've ever seen.
  10. Have we really never discussed this layout? It doesn't come up in a search for me. http://www.3mmsociety.org.uk/MemberLayouts/Ballyconnell%20Road/BallyconnellRoad.htm I see that it is due at my local exhibition in February. http://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/exhibition.php
  11. It may take me a while yet to get going - all pictures welcome. I'm sure it'll end up 00, if I try for 21mm it'll take longer than I have left.. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/316-Ballybrophy?highlight=ballybrophy
  12. Let us know if you do decide on Roscrea - my ultimate plan is a stylised Ballybrophy, so we'll have to organise timetables. BB had everything - goods shed, engine shed, main line, branch line, turntable, water tank, small sidings, signal box, footbridge, road bridge, loop platform... ..centre of the Universe..
  13. R.I.P. The gasometer and works gives a great atmosphere - we forget how prevalent they were in the old days.
  14. Oh, yes. http://www.gaugemaster.com/seuthe.html
  15. All the talk of Wartburgs reminded me of this Hungarian rally-based video. No Wartburg, but a good selection of other stuff...
  16. Mmm, maybe that would have been a better thing to have on the Late Late..?
  17. Burned on my memory - terrifying thing - especially when you took your foot off at 90 and there was no engine braking, just utter silence as the freewheel let go of the car - you really needed to keep on top of the brakes....
  18. Is that a Wartburg estate?
  19. Great stuff. How is there anybody left to buy a ticket? That would be a fair exhibition layout, though..
  20. The model of Abbeyleix on the wall in the Heritage Centre is worth a look..
  21. It does say -"Anke Eckardt, an enthusiastic model builder, was making a miniature version of her local village for her son's railway layout when she came up with the idea of making a kit that everyone could enjoy."
  22. It seems that some white ink cartridges are available - and this seems to me to be the only way to make something along the lines of a decal for a white lettering situation.. This sort of thing.
  23. How would you print the white bits? I assume that it's possible, but I can't see how it would be done....
  24. Seems OK to me, too.
  25. They've been repeating Whatever Happened To The likely Lads on BBC4 - surely the best sit-com of all time.
