That keeps getting deleted and put back up somewhere else.. ..I suspect that not everybody has a sense of humour.. .. the original poster did a safety spoof of the old 'Vision On' TV show as well..

You can go 'punk trainspotting'...

I know what you mean, but.....

Moulds are available to produce modular freight train cakes to any desired length. Weathering is extra.

..for a little chap..

I know it's a bit previous, but he can always bung it in the freezer..

Ah, I see. No implication was implied - I just thought that it was interesting that some arrests have been made over here..

Not necessarily anything, merely a reference to railway-related metal thefts in general.

Some cable thefts may be inside jobs - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-21953502 ....

Only a matter of time before it's extended to model layouts... ..just for the sake of completeness..

His farewell tour has gone down a storm. This is Bilston a few weeks ago. He's had to cancel the last couple, though - for 'health reasons'... ..seems fair enough.

It is sad - but, the interview is very uplifting. I saw him with his Solid Senders - around '78, I think.. Great bloke. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Have you heard the bad news about Wilko? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21191938 - he's not going out gently, though....

Like athlete's foot..?

(Suitable) words fail me....

Another bridge strike an hour ago - between Pearse and Grand Canal Dock. Running through again now.

Hang on, lads, I've just read the rules for this section - The doss house, mess room, anything goes (except politics or religion) area of the site!

Twenty five years ago, they came round here when I was trapped up a ladder, painting the down-pipe. At one point, I asked them if they were the lot that believe that everybody's going to be resurrected at the end. Sensing a possible 'bite', they said "Yes". "Well", I said,"we don't want Hitler and Stalin moving in round here!" They had obviously never thought of that side of it and just went - and they've never been back here since, but they walk past now and then...

I wonder how many on here are that way inclined..?

Tweet from IÉ half an hour ago - Major delays to Cork, Limerick & Tralee services in both directions due to a major signal fault at Ballybrophy.
