  1. We're on it - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1447-BBC4-Wed-9-P-M - already...
  2. 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.
  3. It's one of these - http://www.thekentuckytrainman.com/en/1152-bachmann-amtrak-plasser-em80c-track-cleaning-diesel.html ..with the cow-catchers cut off.
  4. Mmmm, some of it is...

    BBC4 Wed 9 P.M

    Thanks for your signal and pointing us on the right track. I'll put it in my timetable.
  7. I'm not much into sport, but I've been re-watching The Prisoner and could get quite interested in taking up the ancient and modern oriental martial art of Kosho... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTqAfJYWe58

    New IÉ logo...

    I've asked them if they're going to put it on the Enterprise - but no answer has been received yet..
  10. Mmm... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mofSgbY8JE

    New IÉ logo...

    My thoughts - exactly!....... Maybe they'll only display it on certain days through the year..?

    New IÉ logo...

    Has any business ever been turned around by a new logo? Are they going to put it on the side of the Enterprise? Back to plug-and-socket-on-orange when I take over...

    Will the engine drivers have to wear ties?
  14. Did he kick it wide?

    New IÉ logo...

    Well, I asked them - There are rumours of a new logo. Is this likely to be true? The reply that I've just got is - Yes it is true. On our new timetable Bloody hell...!

    New IÉ logo...

    Done - I will report any reply here. Damn!
  17. Great shots. Those figures are some of the very best I've seen - has the driver got a can of lager, though..?

    New IÉ logo...

    Classic modern bullshit-management distraction technique - if the Titanic went down tonight, they would have a bloke up the funnel painting a different-shaped star on it as it slipped under the water...
  19. A rather different attitude to sport - http://elpais.com/elpais/2012/12/19/inenglish/1355928581_856388.html .
  20. It now seems that, as I suspected, it was all an unfortunate accident - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21088672 - I hope she ends up OK..
  21. No Spitfires found, so far - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21074699 - some other sites to look at yet...
  22. And do the NRM, as well..?
  23. Hornby R4057. Nearest I can find.
  24. I do hope so - I have one, too. I do like the way it comes apart - ideal for painting - and opening doors, too.. I'm going to use it anyway - it 'looks' right to me..
  25. Fantastic find!! "Some of them weren't enthusiastic rail travellers"..? "..like you'd see on the Tokyo subway.." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwbPdF5dIgQ
