  1. This has got to be worth having a look at - http://www.corkmidsummer.com/programme/event/station-ciudades-paralelas - if you're in the vicinity..
  2. Daylight shots here - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/37-Anthony-s-Workbench?p=5792&viewfull=1#post5792
  3. That's excellent stuff - you can smell the turf-smoke..
  4. 1, 071 2, 141/181 3, 121 4, 201 5, Jinty So, I'm fairly happy with progress to date..!
  5. I see that the diet's working, but I'm a little surprised that those nails don't get in the way on the fiddly bits.
  6. That has to be the best representation of weathering that I've ever seen. Not just in terms of the appearence of the rust, etc., but in its positioning and 'style' - it's all just where it would be. I'm particularly noticing that the 'wear' on the steps is in just the right places. Top stuff - done by a true professional in the world of filth.

    Dapol signals.

    Excellent. Good to see the actual operation. I wondered if they might move in a rather less realistic and 'snappy' manner. How loud are they in reality? Does the noise intrude at all, or is it only as loud as that in the video because of the proximity of the camera..?
  8. I wonder if the train staff could be persuaded to wear blindfolds and see who fell for it..?

  10. I live in Stafford and one of it's claims to fame is the station announcement stating that "The train now standing at Platform Three is the mystery excursion to Barry Island"..
  11. Windhoff?
  12. And so will I be next Tuesday night, see you Thursday or Friday, probably..
  13. Anybody going to this? http://www.irishrail.ie/cat_news.jsp?i=4628&p=116&n=237

    Dapol signals.

    Have people noticed Dapol's new signals? http://www.dapol.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=114&Itemid=59&vmcchk=1&Itemid=59 - fully assembled, motorised and lit - drill a hole, drop it in, do up the nut and wire it up - off you go. £25 might look a lot, but it wouldn't be too cheap to do all that yourself..
  15. It was Dave, here - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/373-I-m-new!
  16. Chess-Boxing..? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7ZwMVLMezI
  17. Where do you stand on Cycle-Football..?
  18. Bet they don't think much of it, either..?
  19. I was going past a local school last year when there was some after-school football training on, including one girl of about nine. She took down a lad twice her size with a (legal) sliding tackle that would have made Norman Hunter wince. If she'd come at me, I would have just let her have the ball....
  20. Footballers do get testing for various drugs - if they can remember... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/3333091.stm
  21. Tax exile..?
  22. Available as spares - http://www.ehattons.com/33075/Bachmann_UK_36_062_Branchline_Class_150_Drawbars_x4_/StockDetail.aspx
  23. I'm glad you got sorted out - but I was really looking forward to your Irish layout. Good luck with the trams - and do let us see what happens...
  24. That looks easy enough to model for prototypical authenticity.
