    Cheers for that info - I've just never see a nine-car before, in either formation.

    Spent the allocation re-doing the road markings..?
  3. Broithe
    Got any green paint left over - for the post box..?
  4. Broithe
    Right. Never seen one before.

    That's a 3x3 22000 at 1:15 - is that a common thing now..?

    We might as well just trek off..

    If you hover over the little green thing above your avatar.. <----<<< ..you should find that you are on a 'Distinguished Road'. Where does this road go - and are we all heading in the same direction..?

    There's rather too many roof vents on those, but it can be remedied by just snipping a few off - it comes from using a three-view drawing to form the moulds. Compare it to the new Hornby one - can't find a good picture of the roofs...

    In general, these schemes all end up making it worse and more expensive..

    I wonder if you could make one of these.. ..using a Bull Ant.. ..?

    It has the ( rather obvious ) look of an 'over-bid', just as both GNER and then National Express did to win the East Coast one - then they both just abandoned it, one after the other, when they couldn't make the income for themselves (shock!) - the taxpayer then ended up paying even more in... Progress is not always forwards.

    Frying pan -> towering inferno...?

    There is this monument on the Abbeyleix road - http://irishvolunteers.org/2011/03/ira-laois-colt-1916-memorial-colt-portlaoise/ - not too far from you.. It's here - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=S+4555+9220&hl=en&ll=52.978809,-7.322723&spn=0.001352,0.002411&sll=52.965122,-7.340187&sspn=0.002717,0.004823&t=h&gl=uk&z=19&layer=c&cbll=52.978809,-7.322723&panoid=wlPHaAw2tfJ3wUV-d14Dcw&cbp=12,337.4,,0,14.12

    According to my good friend, Paul O'Brien, this book by Bernard Share is particularly worth pursuing if you're interested in this aspect of the railways. http://www.amazon.co.uk/In-Time-Civil-War-Conflict/dp/1905172117 Paul's own work is also interesting, of course - http://paulobrienauthor.com/

    I forgot to mention that Michael Portillo was allegedly spotted at Ballybrophy last month - so expect some interesting episodes of Great British(!) Railway Journeys later in the year. I'll post any iPlayer links up here.

    Back to Mk 3s - after the Mk4s at the beginning..
  21. Broithe
    One of my favourites.. Although, they're Mk 2s.

    As a friend of mine once said when asked to recommend a lawn mower - "They're like car batteries, you should buy them by weight."

    It was in all the papers..

    I only have experience of Gaugemaster's DC stuff, but it has all been faultless - it tends to look like it was make forty years ago, and that's no bad thing, before people thought they knew how near the bone they could take things..
