  1. I might have stood somewhere other than between the rails in that visibility...
  2. Excellent tweet doing the rounds at the moment - "Can't we give Lance Armstrong a break? I tried riding a bike once on drugs. If anything it was a lot harder. I was in a hedge within seconds"....
  3. Reading between the lines is one of my special skills, I like to think - and I agree completely with everything that you have chosen not to say on this subject.
  4. This excellent series, first broadcast in 1988, is on iPlayer now - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p011v8dj/The_Train_Now_Departing_The_Long_Drag/ . It's available for the next ten years, so there's time for those you who are ethnically-cleansed from using iPlayer to find a way round it... It's largely about closures and subsequent preservation. It's on YouTube, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMk_h6ZqK7U
  5. Serbian cops might have enough of a sense of humour to laugh at it...

    The future?

    How long before we actually have individual traction motors on each axle? And then a tiny little diesel - forget the speaker.....
  7. There's at least one member of this site that won't be dwarfed by anybody...
  8. Take your time - nobody will die for a few days more....
  9. Small community? We could all fit in that shed..
  10. Just explain to them that it's really very simple - model railways are like a cross between doll's houses and jewellery - they'll be able to understand that..
  11. It's a wonder the Council haven't made him apply for retention..!
  12. Startling!!
  13. No, you're not.
  14. Or you could tell her €350 and see how pleased she is when she finds out the truth is a mere €170... See which works for you..
  15. Should get an award just for that window frame.
  16. "Change here for New York"...?
  17. If you're in England with nothing to do, try to buy a ticket to Manulla Junction.... .. the concept of a station that isn't a destination is a problem to them...
  18. Welcome - I'm sure you'll fit in here nicely. Some terminus!

    New IÉ logo...

    The twists and turns of Republican politics...?
  20. We're on it - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1447-BBC4-Wed-9-P-M - already...
  21. I have one that I got for ten or twelve quid a while back. He says it's a 'good runner' in the current ad, which is surprising, as they're generally a bit graunchy, with plastic gears. Every axle ( and there's eight ) does pick up and it can be made to run fairly well with a bit of care, but the gears will always be floppy. The blue windows don't do it any favours, but are easily changed. There is a central light, which is 'ducted' to the lamps at either end.
