  1. But, is it still a bobble hat if it doesn't have a bobble, m'Lud? That is the crux of our contention that the evidence of identification is flawed.
  2. That programme was astounding - it's well worth watching all of it.
  3. Whenever anybody mentions a 'bobble hat', I find myself remembering the time that the coppers in Derby issued a description of a robbery suspect, but the poor bloke couldn't think of how to best describe the woollen hat that he was wearing - 'beanie hat' would have done, perhaps - but they ended up describing him as "wearing a bobble hat, without a bobble" - I still laugh about it now..!!
  4. Excellent - no hanging about..!!
  5. No recommendation is implied....

  8. The OSI site is often very useful for this sort of thing - http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,610370,576422,7,10 - Annoyingly, the historic 25" map is blank for the old station itself - http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,610370,576422,7,9 - maybe it will turn up one day...
  9. This excellent documentary on the railways around Bombay is always worth a look..

  11. Perhaps we could have a Father Ted one..
  12. I often wonder how many people end up on this site because they Googled "filthy models"..?
  13. Perhaps an independent auditor should be appointed..?

    Perhaps if we got all the Mk3s back and painted them to match..
  16. A Shackleton and Irish railways - what more could you want...? It used to be said that all applicants for the RAF Police were rigorously tested - and only those that failed were accepted...
  17. I would be tempted to fit a bar or a plate at each end - that you could drop in to stop it sliding out if you don't lift it level....

    Even just a few years ago, that Black Hornet would have to be a spoof.. ..give it a few more years and you'll be able to buy your own for a tenner..
  24. If you look carefully at some layouts featured in the various magazines, you can notice some fairly alarming gaps at times. It matters less on a straight. It is my belief that the hot/cold variation can be as much to do with the baseboard shrinking as the rail expanding.
