  2. Ballybrophy, again. See my avatar for the Irish version of the wall sign - Keep behind the yellow line. Caution! Trains may pass at speed. At Ballybrophy, most of them do....
  3. I'm not one to pick a fight with a super-moderator, but wasn't Talyllyn the first..?
  4. There used to be a picture of them on Eiretrains, with the suggestion that they were a warning to alien spacecraft..
  5. At Ballybrophy, most possibilities are covered... And, always remember - if you take up a load of brick paviors with writing on them, then be sure to stack them systematically, so that it's easy to put them back as they were...
  6. Part 1 is on iPlayer - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01p8w38/The_Golden_Age_of_Steam_Railways_Small_is_Beautiful/ - for those with access.
  7. Irish Rail's current Twitter picture.
  8. The tighter the bend the bigger the separation needs to be - trial runs really are the best way in the end..
  9. That's virtually jewellery - it would almost be a shame to paint it...
  10. I'll confess that I looked at it for a while before I finally saw it. Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees...
  11. The Nenagh Branch - you could close the rest and leave that for me...

  13. Pempoul - one of the best layouts that I've ever seen..
  14. Knobbly knees contest..

  16. And then only if you've been really good..
  17. I'm listening to my Wharfedale W4s...
  18. There was an earlier points fault at Cherryville, too..
  19. I knew I'd seen it somewhere - it also came up as a suggestion because I'd looked at Slow Train...
  20. OK - it's on YouTube in three bits...
  21. A programme by John Betjeman - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01203rd/Lets_Imagine_A_Branch_Line_Railway/ - available on the BBC iPlayer for the next 26 years, it says - so you've got time to work out how to see it if you're outside the UK....
  22. A lot of the stations named were around me here - hardly even a mark left from some of them...
  23. A whole 'performance' - including the famous poem.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkLoDg7e_ns
