  1. Not bad - perhaps we could club together and get Bus Éireann a set of hub-caps to bring theirs in line. It's really great that such a small market is catered for these days. All we need now is for the excellent Bachmann Scenecraft figures to feature a range of Guards - with optional pony-tails.
  2. Indeed - genius!!
  3. You wouldn't want to be stood there at the time......
  4. Crikey, that'll take some dustpan and brush to clean it up. Did the train de-rail and hit the silo - or the silo collapse and de-rail the train?
  5. A fairly dramatic bridge-strike in England - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-21229913 .
  6. Ah, right - obvious when you say that - I can see the right-angle drive at the bottom, now that I know it's there...
  7. I think they might be screwdrivers - for attaching the clips to the sleepers/chairs..?
  8. Intriguing, indeed. Is 'it' actually two almost identical implements, one behind the other? Spot-on pics, though!
  9. Unfortunately, I have no visual record of the reactions that I have got when I have attempted to introduce people over here to the art of Dessie O'Halloran - they usually don't even know if they're bemused or not... Philistines - they should all be sent back to Philistinia...
  10. Do you have a promissory note?
  11. Empty Lima box - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BOX-for-Lima-HO-gauge-2126T-Old-Irish-Main-Line-Train-Set-/271144193706?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123 .
  12. That cutting looks a bit wintry at this stage - just what I'm looking out at now..! Great stuff!
  13. There has been subsidence 'adjacent to' the Cork/Cobh line. Replacement bus service tomorrow..
  14. I wonder if they would be cheaper stored at the Busaras?
  15. Has he only offered them to a Mr I K Brunel?
  16. Well, I've just hassled Leo - let's see what happens......
  17. http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0125/364417-train-carriages/
  18. That has been the case since it was first suggested.
  19. Pete and Dud's Derek and Clive. That's still top-notch stuff.
  20. I often post this on my other forum, when things get a bit pointlessly heated..
  21. On the radio, Round the Horne - the pictures were better than the telly. On the telly, The Likely Lads, it was virtually a documentary... [video=youtube;sqoNs1aL-CI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqoNs1aL-CI
  22. Getting Leo down to open it..?
  23. Indeed. I recall a radio programme about this over here many years ago. The scale of what happens is, as you say, not always widely reported - there was one driver over here who was almost into double figures... The person that you're most at risk from is yourself.
  24. There are disruptions to service due to a fatality on the line at Lisburn earlier. That's all I know, but we can all read between the lines, probably. People rarely consider the poor driver in these unfortunate circumstances. Let's all hope that he gets over this.
