Is the Savoy still going in Cork? -

Nor me - it has the look of Super-8, so it could well be silent.. -
This could have been a nasty event, but there were no injuries. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-19488617 http://www.raib.gov.uk/publications/current_investigations_register/120628_knockmore.cfm

Available via Amazon- http://www.amazon.com/Sanding-Stick-Sticks-Finishing-Kit/dp/B0039ZCQAK/ref=pd_cp_hi_0 Widely available in USA as Excel Sanding Sticks.. They are pointed at one end and rounded at the other, with a flat section in between - covers most requirements.

I'm not sure, I may have picked them up at a fair. I thought Expo - http://www.expotools.com/ - might have been the source, but I can't find them there - Hobby's do sell them, though - http://hobby.uk.com/tools/sanding-abrasive-tools/sanding-stick-belts.html ..
-
Now that is a good idea! I'll be doing that. I have a set of these.. ..they're spring loaded, so that the belt can be moved round as it wears - and colour coded so you find the right grit more easily - if you can remember which colour it is..
-
Of course, there's http://modelshopbelfast.com/weathering too.. Maybe I've missed some more..?
-
There are three weathering services here - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/forumdisplay.php/36-Services - all top-notch filth.

This one - http://www.nairnshire-modelling-supplies.co.uk/b70-fine-iron-ore-red-granite-ballast-p-995.html ? That'll save me grinding up the bits I pinched from the pile by the car-park..
-
And there's strangely little evidence of oil drips - the concrete sleepers seem to show this much more, maybe because it doesn't soak in. Here's the new track, before it got oil-spots in the centre of each sleeper. The cute pink ballast might be a bit awkward to replicate.. It was wet when this was taken, but the new rails were quite a different colour, even ignoring that aspect..
-
It can also be worth studying the track in a similar sort of real-life location - the colours can sometimes be quite different from what you might imagine - this is the main line through Ballybrophy, just before it was replaced a few years ago..
-
Perhaps it's meant to say 'GUBU'...?
-
Whilst you're rooting in her handbag, you could pinch a few of her emery boards as well..
-
If nobody on here does know - then you might contact them on dunsandlestation@gmail.com ...
-
Keep her on-side - at all costs.
-
I was going to suggest a video of the encounter...
-
Bridge across the stairwell - spiral down to 'civilisation'..?
-
Will the transit of the stairwell be visible from below? That could be a great feature..
-
I spent many a night in Lambe's at Ballybrophy surrounded by chaps in dustcoats whose pints were already waiting on the bar when they burst in through the door. On occasion, we would be plunged into total darkness when 'a certain vehicle' would announce it's arrival with a toot of the horn as they came over the bridge. As long as they 'didn't see what was going on', then it could go on. Julia would flick the main switch in a few milliseconds and the skill was to remember where your pint was in the darkness. The darkness really was total - it could have been fifteen miles to the nearest street lamp back then..
-
You will have to whack the volume right up to hear anything - but, for God's sake, also remember to turn it back down again..!

Get down to the hurling field - just remember to take the crossbar down... Back from your hols? There's work to be done.
-
Right - that makes sense. Thanks for getting back with the info so soon.
-
That's fine. Is that another on the right, on the other side of the track..?
