  1. 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?
  2. A fairly dramatic bridge-strike in England - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-21229913 .
  3. Ah, right - obvious when you say that - I can see the right-angle drive at the bottom, now that I know it's there...
  4. I think they might be screwdrivers - for attaching the clips to the sleepers/chairs..?
  5. Intriguing, indeed. Is 'it' actually two almost identical implements, one behind the other? Spot-on pics, though!
  6. 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...
  7. Do you have a promissory note?
  8. 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 .
  9. That cutting looks a bit wintry at this stage - just what I'm looking out at now..! Great stuff!
  10. There has been subsidence 'adjacent to' the Cork/Cobh line. Replacement bus service tomorrow..
  11. I wonder if they would be cheaper stored at the Busaras?
  12. Has he only offered them to a Mr I K Brunel?
  13. Well, I've just hassled Leo - let's see what happens......
  14. http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0125/364417-train-carriages/
  15. That has been the case since it was first suggested.
  16. Pete and Dud's Derek and Clive. That's still top-notch stuff.
  17. I often post this on my other forum, when things get a bit pointlessly heated..
  18. 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
  19. Getting Leo down to open it..?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Some people put real effort in...
  23. Might be time to put the lid on it..
  24. It would be ideal for a terminal layout.
