  1. Don't forget the bridges - Delay to services at Monasterevan due to truck hitting bridge. What is it about motorists today - leave our network alone!!
  2. I lived on Malta in the late '50s/early '60s - in fact, you could see my house in that picture, if it wasn't for the smoke from the Sparviero...
  3. It's not just bridges that get hit - Merrion Gates: major damage from car hitting gates earlier, repair works underway, DART/Commuter delays 15 mins will continue til afternoon.
  4. Tweet from Irish Rail - If you're passing through Dun Laoghaire Station this a.m, no need to worry, an emergency exercise taking place up to 12.30
  5. Possibly some confusion here - Faith, Hope and Charity were the names given to three Gladiators that were part of the initial defence of Malta...
  6. Excellent.
  7. I know nothing, but I suspect that there will be a steady evolution over the forthcoming years, subject to the prevailing economic climate. If stuff that is made is bought in adequate quantities, then the future will be rosy ( or orange )...
  8. I may have said too much already...
  9. 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.......
  10. Bloody hell!! I was joking.....
  11. Hold the phone upside-down when you take the picture...?
  12. Seems to be catching... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22650268
  13. There can be a fire hazard.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22641179 ..and we thought Malahide was bad..
  14. 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..
  15. Until then - this isn't cheap - http://www.anigrand.com/AA4066_KM.htm
  16. When 3-D printers are twenty quid.....?
  17. Revell do this one..
  18. 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
  19. Nice documentary, but the fuselage is never sixty three feet in diameter, maybe twenty three... Nice footage of 201 at 30:40, though.
  20. Mmm, you say that, but St Patrick himself did the 201 twice...
  21. 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..
  22. I would love a 22k. It would be nice if sets could be connected to make a 3+3 set.
  23. Some clips on YouTube already..
  24. Here's a foot-pump - just go and top 'em up, will you..?
