  1. Pic 131 - nice to see children being taught to salute trains.
  2. When the Lottery started over here, my aunt asked me how I'd done on the first draw. "I didn't get any numbers. How about you?", I said. "Oh, I only got six.", she said. "Six! six! You only need six, you daft old bat - it's not eight like the pools, you know." It turned out that six was the only number that she had got, her other five weren't drawn. I was nearly on the train top see my favourite aunt.
  3. They can manage well enough on their own, it seems...
  4. Confucious, he say Many minds make sound work. The Forum at it's best...

  6. Merchant Navy class were named after shipping lines. Battle of Britain class were named after units, airfiields, people and aircraft associated with the Battle of Britain
  7. I think it's beginning to get to them.... OK, this hashtag is better! RT @damienmulley: @IrishRail #truckwits
  8. Been a mad day. Services suspended between Tara St. & Connolly due to a truck hitting a bridge. Update to follow and That's three trucks that have hit bridges today for those keeping count #dumbtruckers Plus of course a car taking out a level crossing Tomorrow may be quieter....

  10. 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!!
  11. 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...
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. Possibly some confusion here - Faith, Hope and Charity were the names given to three Gladiators that were part of the initial defence of Malta...
  15. Excellent.
  16. 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 )...
  17. I may have said too much already...
  18. 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.......

  23. 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..
  24. Until then - this isn't cheap - http://www.anigrand.com/AA4066_KM.htm
