    It also went to the Isle of Man - which is technically not part of the UK.

    I almost believed you. I've not been well today..

    The 'Trains' link worked for me - I hadn't tried any of the others yet, saving them for later. Obviously, you'll have to 'supervise' him if he wins...

    Irish Rail has just Tweeted this - "A few asking if you have to be a kid to win train driver for a day prize: afraid so, but clearly a market for a "big kid" prize in future :)" - so maybe they'll let an old boy have a go at some point..?

    IE have launched a competition aimed at 10-16 year olds. Win it and you get to drive the train simulator. Reckon you could get away with it? There's some interesting pictures in the associated links on here - http://www.irishrail.ie/cat_news.jsp?i=4615&p=116&n=237

    APT Documentary.

    Broithe replied to Broithe's topic in Weblinks

    I worked at GEC in Stafford then and there is a really tight bend round the factory - the APT spent quite a bit of time stuck there, mostly with tilt failures - here it is with a tilt failure in the station..

    I got that in a charity shop the other day, must make the effort to watch it. Six Shooter, with Brendan Gleeson, has Cravens and beet wagons, as I recall, but the whole thing's gone off YouTube now, just a small sample left..

    Cararama do a nice H0 Volvo loader. Whoops, the picture says 1/50, but they do do it in 1/87, as well - http://de.shopping.com/volvo-l150c-l150-c/LxV56aKQPwT9rlPWc4vgOQ==/info?sb=1

    Excellent pics - but look at that track in the last shot!!! I've got a piece of Peco flexi that's been stood on - I won't have to throw it out now.

    A friend of mine had a couple - they are hard work to get running well - but a real joy when they do...

    Don't imagine that I actually know anything. I vaguely remember that there was a clashing issue that prompted his tests of the various free systems available, but, apart from the MSE MWB combination being the best result, I can't remember much else. This is from a couple of years ago, but his opinions are unchanged today. http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/which-anti-virus-my-findings.4314/

    It's those bloody Greeks again. My tame geek used to recommend AVG, but now says MSE + Malwarebytes is still the tops of the free ones..

    Possibly a mixing problem - give 'em a real good shake. You could always matt varnish the shiny ones. Transfers will always be better on a glossy finish anyway and then the whole thing matted afterwards - you'll see the carrier film if you apply transfers to a matt finish.

    I run Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes (free version) in Vista as a result of advice from a highly-experienced geek friend. He did copious testing with various virus samples and decided that they were the best - and they don't conflict with each other, so you can run both. I've had no real trouble since. With the free Malwarebytes you do have to remember to update it now and then and it needs to start the internal scan manually as well, to get an auto-scan requires the payed version. I would point out that my geek is generally anti-Microsoft and was almost annoyed when it did so well in his tests.

    Possibly we should have had this - - instead of Jedward. Though, if you really want a coffee at Ballybrophy these days then you might need to bring a flask. Lambe's and Phillips's are long gone.. My own pictures of the centre of the Universe - https://picasaweb.google.com/105618325540295927305/Ballybrophy# - I have a few more that I'll stick up at some point..

    We have a lot of these signs over here and I do get the urge to produce a more suitable pictogram for the sign...

    I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that. I once repainted an isolated urban bird-hide which was covered in graffiti, most of which was similar rubbish, but there was one very good bit that I painted round. I was heavily criticised for not obliterating that bit as well, but there was no new graffiti for most of a year afterwards. I'm sure that if I'd painted it all out, then it would have restarted straight away. I like to feel that I was in tune with Banksy before I'd even heard of him..
