  1. Yes - they're the little white squares that are just under where it says Made in China - they slide backwards and forwards to switch.
  2. Nasty one in Prague. [video=youtube;RPH-rNUmBjw]
  3. It travelled as far as Abbeyleix - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/769-Midland-Model-Railway-Club-are-hosting-a-one-day-exhibition-in-The-Heritage-Centre?p=10996&viewfull=1#post10996 ...
  4. IÉ fluorescent vest - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160970991921&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123 - quoting £500 postage to Ireland, but he'll negotiate...
  5. Has anybody counted the rivets..?
  6. I've just had one of these oscillating saw/sanders from Lidl - http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_uk/hs.xsl/index_38690.htm - I can imagine times when it could come in handy on baseboard construction. I once had to install a coal-drop into a rectangular hole in a chipboard sheet. For thirty quid, if you need it once, then you've got your money back...
  7. We've had a bit of that around here - on the closed Stafford/Newport and Stafford/Uttoxeter lines. People extending gardens and fields, blocking and flooding the route, etc...
  8. It features at the start of Get Carter - though, in the dark and from the other end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoa3OTJfWIY And, of course, the chap in the far corner of the compartment turns out to be the hit-man......
  9. I think it's Newcastle-upon-Tyne. They had a local electric service, hence the bits of third rail on the right. It's all a bit simpler now...
  10. You can have them rum closer together on the straight than on bends...
  11. Mmmmm..?
  12. I wonder how many he had to empty to get just the right texture on the glass - and how weathered he is himself now..?
  13. Pennies sometimes have to drop different distances...
  14. Trackwise, yes - it's 45mm track as Gauge 1, but LGB stuff is 1/22.5 scale to model a narrow-gauge scenario..
  15. This one?
  16. Another bridge strike this evening - in Amiens Street.
  17. That first picture has the look of a Victorian hand-coloured postcard..
  18. Shaken, not stirred.
  19. Do we need to put orders in now..?
  20. Will there also be a form for me to claim for travel expenses..?
  21. I don't remember that episode..
  22. I've been on a 201-hauled train that was well into three figures between Portarlington and Kildare about eight years ago, I think. I used to time the milesposts...
  23. You must be patient, Grasshopper.
  24. I don't disagree, really - but it is just a telly programme to be watched by people who would just watch something else, if that was on - sad, though that is. It's usually a mistake to watch any television programme that is about something that you actually know about yourself.
