  1. As we all are, too. But don't forget that you've got an extra hour tonight...
  2. You must have had a busy day - they still look clean, Anthony..!
  3. Nice - the white lines look particularly sharp and even..
  4. My road. ..imagine those houses from the back - it's almost spooky..
  5. Excellent - but, put the hairspray back before she spots it's gone...
  6. Good to have you back, tt. Get yourself some therapy on the rails. The houses on your back-scene look exactly like my road..!
  7. The first time I booked a Stafford/Ballybrophy ticket it took three days to complete the purchase. Their system had no knowledge of such an exotic location and wouldn't sell me a ticket to a 'non-existent' place. I had to keep going off to get information to satisfy them and returning back to the station with it, as it is an offence to possess the phone number of a railway station here, without 'good cause', and I wasn't good enough to have it. On other occasions I was told that such a ticket didn't exist and, even when I showed them the last one that I had had, they still would not believe it. I could go on....
  8. On my other Forum, I've just been complaining that the Christmas lights were on in our town last night - somehow, it doesn't seem so out-of-place now..
  9. Indeed, the machines are more like what we used to call 'plotters' in my day....
  10. 3-D Print Show in London - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20047744
  11. Wile E. Coyote speaks less highly of their products..
  12. Some teething problems are worse than others. It still strikes me as a good idea that should be made to work properly. The more people that point out its failures the better, I think..
  13. Something as complex as this will have teething problems, I'm sure - but, they do invite comments - http://transportforireland.ie/feedback/journey-planner/ ...
  14. Irish Rail have just tipped me off about this new national journey planner - http://www.journeyplanner.transportforireland.ie/nta/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en - it might come in handy for attending shows, etc. Covers almost all public transport.
  15. Is this the Sub Aqua Unit? Can't quite make out the reg...
  16. If you're laying track inset into a concrete yard situation, then it's important to maintain your concentration throughout the smoothing process...
  17. IÉ currently have a picture of it up on the info about the Low Rail Adhesion situation that can occur around this time of year - plus an interesting little rail-side device - http://www.irishrail.ie/blog_post.jsp?blogID=1&a=330
  18. Genius idea.
  19. Thought that might smoke you out..!
  20. I could see that coming. To be honest, the kit is hardly worth that, they need a good bit of fettling to sharpen them up a bit, but are maybe worthwhile for doing a one-off small box. A better approach would be necessary for work on your scale and to your standard. Would a brass etch be the answer for levers..?
  21. Wills do a signal box interior kit - http://www.gascupboard.co.uk/signal-box-interior-ssam103.html - if that's any use..?
  22. Presumably because the yard lights were deemed to be sufficient illumination. I think that I can remember the headlights being knocked off when passing through stations.
  23. There's one on here, although it's at night.
  24. This is an interesting project - http://www.networkrail.co.uk/VirtualArchive/ Pointed out to me by my friend - historian Paul O'brien - http://paulobrienauthor.com/
