  1. I may have said too much already...
  2. I just want all the diesels to 'Murphy Standard'. Mark 3 & 4 coaches. 22000 sets. Beets and cements. That'll do for this year.... There are rumours of a reasonable Bord na Mona set in the offing.......
  3. Bloody hell!! I was joking.....
  4. Hold the phone upside-down when you take the picture...?
  5. Seems to be catching... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22650268
  6. There can be a fire hazard.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22641179 ..and we thought Malahide was bad..
  7. Indeed, he was, and the company still is, though it was really a product of the Soviet times. Sikorsky was pre-Soviet Russian. It's all rather complicated, I was just being rather (over) simplistic..
  8. Until then - this isn't cheap - http://www.anigrand.com/AA4066_KM.htm
  9. When 3-D printers are twenty quid.....?
  10. Revell do this one..
  11. Maybe they'll get that going again, too - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=baku&hl=en&ll=42.881845,47.657053&spn=0.001645,0.002411&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=10.873972,19.753418&t=h&hnear=Baku,+Azerbaijan&z=19
  12. Nice documentary, but the fuselage is never sixty three feet in diameter, maybe twenty three... Nice footage of 201 at 30:40, though.
  13. Mmm, you say that, but St Patrick himself did the 201 twice...
  14. Giant aircraft have been a bit of a Russian speciality, ever since the world's first four-engined flight by Igor Sikorsky's Ilya Muromets. ..through the An-22 with those monstrous turbo-props.. .. and the Tupolev 114 - the largest pre-747 airliner..
  15. I would love a 22k. It would be nice if sets could be connected to make a 3+3 set.
  16. Some clips on YouTube already..
  17. Here's a foot-pump - just go and top 'em up, will you..?
  18. All the parts existed for the second one, I believe. Just the commercial case for it is pending. Maybe there's been some cannibalisation, though. Despite the commentary, I'm not sure that runway length would be the issue that selected Shannon, it may have been more to do with parking facilities.. 285 tonnes empty, 640 tonnes full - a serious beast.
  19. No, that was a mere 124. The 225 is stretched, widened and has two more engines - and a roof-rack.. There is talk of extending the principle even further...
  20. http://www.rte.ie/news/player/2013/0521/3536326-worlds-biggest-plane-lands-in-shannon/#page=2
  21. Excellent.
  22. 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..
  23. Adavoyle Junction is a fine monument.
  24. That certainly sharpens it up..
