  1. http://www.rte.ie/news/player/2013/0521/3536326-worlds-biggest-plane-lands-in-shannon/#page=2
  2. If you read that one way, it does sound like you have kidnapped him and are holding him to ransom for a piece of cake - I do rather hope that this is the case..
  3. Adavoyle Junction is a fine monument.
  4. That certainly sharpens it up..
  5. When I had a proper job, we had a note on a drawing that said - Apply a very small amount of petroleum jelly and then wipe it ALL off. The idea was to get a very thin coating, but that note always amused me...
  6. No masks, overalls, goggles, gloves, helmets or hi-vis - and can you get toe-caps in that lad's size..?
  7. This sort of thing? From:- http://www.steamtrainsireland.com/gallery/ja_whitehead_weedtrain1971.html
  8. Also available in a full-size form..
  9. Just in case anybody gets confused, IPA means this.. ..not this..
  10. An equivalent device to the Trix brush can be made from two Peco cleaners and a piece of wood - as outlined above.
  11. The Peco wheel cleaner is still a good and cheap device. Add a couple of croc clips and you're away. Or, even buy two and mount the brushes at a suitable spacing and drop them on the track - there is a contact strip on the back that will collect power from the rails directly. For non-driven wheels, a brass brush in a cordless multi-tool is a good way.
  12. Good stuff. Handy to have it all in one place..
  13. Interesting - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01sjtzw/The_Tube_An_Underground_History/ - for those able to access iPlayer..
  14. I have done - and I suspect he's not finished yet......
  15. An exciting bridge-strike in Essex - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-22560758 .
  16. There's actually two of them and they're twins - a great aid when working under-cover....
  17. My agent is still active in the field..
  18. Here's a good spin - http://www.downvids.net/luckiest-escape-in-irish-rally-446819.html - excellent commentary...
  19. Radio 4's In Business is covering 3-D printing tonight - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01sdrhf - give it an hour or so and it will be available to Listen Again.. It's on live as I type this and they've just interviewed the Shapeways chap...
  20. No problem. He knows what he's doing on rail-related matters - and he can search effectively in Dutch, which may turn up stuff not readily available to us..
