  1. Ah, I see it now - I thought he had an abscess..
  2. It seems the location they were held at has closed - if you copy the URL of the picture you will get this message - https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/ - maybe they can be reposted..?
  3. Time to add another search on eBay..?
  4. If they had orange waistcoats on it would be alright. I would have shoved that lad in the smokebox and shut the door....
  5. Glues sand on the rails to combat leaf induced slippage - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandite
  6. Most of the current collection occurs on the loco wheels, due to the traction tyres on the tender - the wires transfer the current. I've been inside the tender - I wonder if the body is just clipped on - can't remember and it isn't here at the moment to check.. http://web.blissett.me.uk/house/hornby-service-sheets/ss-204.jpg
  7. http://www.pkphotography.ie/photo_6649420.html
  8. Seconded - I sent an agent to investigate on my behalf, as I won't make it over until next week now - he was suitably impressed by it all..
  9. Could do with a sort of Street View feature..!
  10. From the other side - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=waterford&hl=en&ll=52.279075,-7.150158&spn=0.00552,0.009645&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=10.873972,19.753418&t=h&hnear=Waterford,+County+Waterford,+Ireland&z=17&layer=c&cbll=52.278944,-7.150338&panoid=H8I0q3NaZeHUqDVabbv_sA&cbp=12,135.44,,2,1.23
  11. Uploaded August 2007. It looks like the original one..
  12. We'll see if there's any reaction - YouTube got excited enough when I put up a video of someone doing a cover of a Neil Diamond song...
  13. I've flagged it - again. I was also surprised that it's still there, but it is - after five years now....
  14. And, closer to home -
  15. When you start to get the hang of them, you could have a go at the capital letters, as well...
  16. Confused me for a minute, there - I wondered if Thomas the Tank Engine was available as Gaelige..?
  17. Not something to put on your application for the post of signalman...
  18. 12
  19. 11?
  20. Fair enough - it sounded a bit iffy to me - enough people have been doing it for long enough for the problem to be well-known, if it was real. There are other people reporting a similar thing when they've used PVA - so, it's probably down to the lead they're using - if that is really what it is..
  21. There has been talk, in the past, of a superglue/lead reaction taking place on a few occasions - http://www.ratomodeling.com/articles/lead_ca/lead_ca.html - I'm not sure how true it all is, though.. Time will tell.
  22. Some versions of the old Dock Shunter had milled edges on the wheels - like a 10p piece or a €1 coin. Not really visible in the picture. It does give them a bit of a 'growl' though..
  23. Here's a smallish one - going the wrong way round a roundabout.. It gets a bit less shaky as it goes on..
  24. Most certainly not. After Julia and Statia died, not far apart, Lambe's turned into The Signal Box for a few years and then the licence was sold on and it is a private residence now. The same happened to Phillips's on the bridge after Leslie and Ernie died, again only a few weeks apart. They were great days that seem an age ago now...
  25. I'm sure someone could produce an etched brass kit - and you could tell 'her' it's a special feature, specially for her to admire as she ascends the stairs...
