    Could be worse. I had a couple of aunts who had a friend who was as geographically-challenged as they were - she got on a train in Bristol to go the few miles to Wellington (in Somerset) and got off it in Wellington in Shropshire. "I thought it was taking a long time."

    She's displaying her intimidating stare, as all good security staff will do, when confronted by dodgy-looking customers.

    If it was a CIE Interceptor, you could try it in a few different liveries...

    The link will work without the additional punctuation. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/iarnrod-eireann-heartened-by-freight-contracts-1.365705#:~:text=The decline in rail freight,Cork's North Esk freight depot

    53 would have been my second guess from the expanded picture.

    I know nothing of these matters, but that looks like 58 to me. Is that plausible?

    Easier to hide from the Domestic Security Services.

    A tank in the town square suggests Celbridge can be a bit rough at the weekends?

    A challenge for anybody doing Balbriggan in modern image. Tullamore would be easier - a bit.

    You're just trying to get mugs to do an image search for 'Brazilian'. I'm not falling for that - yet.

    And, it's hard to be sure, but somebody may have painted the chassis black...

    Almost all cartoon characters have three fingers and a thumb, where they have hands at all. Four just looks 'too many'. A friend of mine had the ring finger on her left hand removed due to cancer, but it is almost unnoticeable, even if you know. I suspect that few people who don't know ever spot it.

    What a lovely backscene.

    Well, I've asked around via private messages and, reluctantly, we'll take a tenner for him.

    I Can't Remember. Might not even need a ticket - would they spot one more old sod?

    If you look closely, you can see that the wheels are different to "ours". There is a moulded boss where the axle passes through, to prevent them being moved out to 21mm.

    Have they been scanned yet?

    Ah, I wondered what was causing it...

    https://www.postalmuseum.org/collections/highlights/letter-boxes/# I think that's for the egg collections.

    Of course, all the letter boxes were originally green, a sort of Brunswick Green, but, apparently, people complained about the lack of visibility and the Post Office Red arrived. Near me on the Small Island, there is an Edward VII box, the only one that I have ever seen. It was still in use until about five years ago, when victory was conceded to the Blue Tits who had been fighting for control of it for decades.
