Three Chipmunks, including this one that I first saw sixty years ago... Two heritage flight ones - 168 had a bit of a slight misfire for the first flyby, but flew out successfully later on.

Train running in Abbeyleix today... Odd mix of liveries and the chassis were black. Best not to mention it to someone... I think it was a battery electric device - three of them running all day. Open Day and Airshow at the old De Vesci place - marvellous day!

Ballybrophy. The piers were later used to provide some shelter for passengers on the island platform.

This remains one of my favourite railway documentaries - the level of determination to 'make it work' is astonishing. Good luck with intricacy that the water features at the start would require on a layout...

Indeed, if you intend to visit Bourton on the Water, then you can have your dinner in what was my bedroom. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.8847524,-1.7583218,3a,41.3y,311.5h,88.19t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sQBOUaDnmaTFlaVLJp6sjnQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DQBOUaDnmaTFlaVLJp6sjnQ%26cb_client%3Dsearch.revgeo_and_fetch.gps%26w%3D96%26h%3D64%26yaw%3D0.08197921%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu I wonder if they have put the plaque up yet?

Unbeetable!

I think this one means that their AI software estimates that they have finally got you to relinquish all of your available cash assets into their possession.

Ballybrophy claims around 150 inhabitants and has just had to have the car parking trebled.

For those intent on modelling modern lineside equipment.

Processing that sort of quantity must be quite a difficult operation, unless you've shipped @Darius43 out to China.

No sign of @leslie10646 yet, he'll be busy rooting through the back of the garage...

Glasgow bus crash - ten hospitalised. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-65665113

No recommendation was intended...

A load of Provincial wagons have just come up on a 'dapol irish' search.

There was a cheap one on a couple of weeks ago, but it was a bit battered.

There used to be phosphor bronze track about. It needed regular cleaning, but, even then, the polished metal exposed had quite a 'brown colour'. And the unpolished areas would steadily oxidise to a plausible 'rust colour'.
