Phew! I'll do that once too often....

Reference books for the railways of Ireland 1980s onwards.
Broithe replied to Robert Davies's question in Questions & Answers
I find this list on Wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliography_of_Irish_rail_transport - whilst looking for info on http://www.amazon.ca/By-Rail-Through-Heart-Ireland/dp/0853429480 which I picked up on the way back home today. A pleasant little book about the route, rather than the railway itself, but with a few interesting pictures.. -
Any sisters?

Well, Crewe was a good little do - plenty to interest anybody.. Good to met Rob (and Liz) - only the second person on here that I've ever seen in real life. I was impressed at how competently supervised he was....

The Glues Brothers.. -
Myself and Robert Davies are aiming for this one tomorrow - http://www.alsagerrailwayassociation.co.uk/exhibition2012.htm - anybody else about..?

With all-metal wheels you can get away with a bit of sliding, but having traction tyres, on one side!, made life very difficult. Personally, I hate rubber on the rail, and finally persuaded him to put four all-metal wheels on one of the power bogies - it's been OK since then. I tried it with all eight powered wheels un-tyred, but we have a 1/35 slope whilst the end of the train is still on a bend and it wouldn't have it - maybe with more adhesion weight we could have improved things, but he's happy as it is now...
-
I 'double-ended' a Pendelino for a friend and we had to remove the traction tyres from one power bogie to avoid constant de-railing.

Mmm, I can see the whole pictures, no trouble at all. But embedded videos no longer run on here for me, I have to copy them to the outside world - mind you, that is happening on my other forum, too...

Just asking? Never know what you might get up to when I'm not supervising.. -

Is that meant to say "particular request" or "peculiar request" ..? I think we should be told. -
I found a picture of a train arriving at Birmingham International for last year's show..
-
I'll do my best - it sounds like it might be an ordeal. I've put it off for years, but I just can't pass up a free ticket. Not sure whether to drive or take the train..
-
Cheers for that, I'll see if we can aim for Sunday..
-
Will do. Is that 'restaurant' - or 'bar'...? Not sure which day to aim for yet..
-
Anybody going? I hear that O'Connell Street will be there...
-
Don't try this at home..
-
A jet train would need suitable coaches, of course.
-
There's slides and there's 'cover slips', which are very thin.
-
A key principle to remember is to ensure that the engines are pointing the right way...
-
There's a hint of Lartigue about this one...
-
Them jets are too noisy..

Irish Railway Art....A couple of Linocuts in this case.
Broithe replied to Castletown's topic in General Chat
There seems to have been a recent Irish Railway Art Exhibition in Enniskillen. There are a few pictures here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/75395133@N00/7957760870/in/photostream/
