It's an easy mistake, if you buy the ticket in a hurry.

And be careful about being near the weight threshold in damp weather.

Mountmellick to Kilkenny seems to have not many pictures, beyond a few around Abbeyleix around the closure time. Birr/Parsonstown to Roscrea went before photography was a widespread hobby, I suppose - I've only recently realised how much of the station buildings still exist in Birr.

It may all have ceased.

They presumably don't have this facility in Waterford...

Anybody doing modern image Hazelhatch may need to spend some time on interior details.

Mmm, I've just done it again from scratch and got 59mm, so you might want to consider 60mm as the absolute minimum 'safe' height...

I have a test-track of Peco wooden sleeper Streamline on MDF. I make it 58,7mm from the surface of the MDF to the top of the wagon.

It could be worth getting the other half involved? I have often remarked that weathering requires essentially the same skills as applying make-up, but aiming for the opposite result.

In search of something unrelated, I came across this - described as "In search of Wickham railcar no.C56. Templetouhy. Éire. 1991." https://elevation.maplogs.com/poi/urlingford_co_kilkenny_ireland.498491.html

Trackside safety needs to be taken seriously, of course. Issuing swans with hi-vis is long overdue.

I probably* still have one in the system, from a few years ago, where they claimed it was going to be delivered the day before it was despatched. When it was finally delivered, the system seemed unable to cope with such a time paradox and left it existing in some sort of Back the Future limbo. * They now can't find it at all, three years later - "Sorry, we're currently unable to confirm the status of your item with reference GQ171144677GB . Please try again tomorrow." It did finally appear, but the system never got further than shown in the picture, I looked every now and then until I got fed up.
