  1. Irish Rail tweet from yesterday - A Truck has hit Custom House Quay Bridge. Services stopped between Connolly & Tara St. Update to follow - It all seemed to get sorted fairly quickly..
  2. A new meaning for the term "shop-soiled"..?
  3. That'll be Javis - http://www.javis.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=17&Itemid=116&vmcchk=1
  4. The spiral stairs will send him mad(der)..
  5. Don't try to hide in a Smart car...!!?
  6. New boat-train service to be introduced - cutting out the middle-man. Predicted for the year 2000, so 12 years late is fair enough..
  7. The preliminary Board of Inquiry says that it was down to the predictive text in their sat-nav putting in Port Lairge when the navigator thought he was putting in Portland - simple error, any of us could have done it..
  8. Irish Rail on Twitter said -- To the opportunist surfers, boaters, canoeists, divers, fishermen etc tweeting, we will not be hosting watersports in Waterford Stn No mention of equestrians..
  9. Green traction. Four horse-power, water-cooled..
  10. Ah. The good old days. Hence my caption on this pic - https://picasaweb.google.com/105618325540295927305/Ballybrophy#5223000353684013954
  11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFU774q6eVM..?
  12. Ah, well, it's working here now, so never mind...
  13. Mmm, it's back with one from an hour ago - but there's nothing showing at all in the past..
  14. My twitter feed has stopped showing posts from IRM, although I'm still 'following' - is it just me..?
  15. And mine - http://www.youtube.com/user/Gramaisc - a few layout things, two at Ballybrophy and other unrelated stuff..
  16. Mmm, I wonder if Joe's planning another go..?
  17. I watched this all the way through live yesterday. Always been impressed by Joe Kittinger and it was good to see him so involved in the effort to break his own 52 year-old record - and nice that his record for the longest free-fall time still seems to be standing, too.
  18. It seems to be a popular livery variation - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/930-Class-071-amp-201-Calendar-for-2013?
  19. Announcement times..?
  20. Don't. That's the whole point of the place.
  21. Truly superb! The announcement track really adds to the atmosphere.
  22. I have found that, when using a Dremel to cut the track, it's best to have the tool over the track that you want to use, rather than over the bit that you're cutting off. The cutting disc is usually smaller than the diameter of the tool body, resulting in a slight, off-vertical, angle to the cut. If the joining piece also has this slope, the other way, then there is an inevitable gap at the top of the rail, even though the bottom edges of the rails are butted up hard.
  23. We're still in the first half of Autumn by any definition.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autumn
