Worth waiting for the magazine.

That's no reason not to produce a short run of them. Do you have a timescale yet?

The town I live in on the Big Island got a total of four bombs in WW2, and only one of them went off properly. Everything else was caused by their own 'officialdom' in the comfort of peacetime.

A large proportion of the aluminium saucepans that were also collected were eventually melted down to make aluminium saucepans...

Someone has to keep an eye on her...

Might be this..? If so, then it's a Colm O'Callaghan picture from June 14th, 1996 - https://www.railwaymagazine.co.uk/3745/from-our-archive-master-of-mixed-traffic-forty-years-of-irelands-big-gms/

There are few places where the current inhabitants are direct descendants of the original settlers. Iceland may be almost the only one around here. Facial shapes and body mannerisms west of the Shannon are just scary...

Major enough to require Teresa Mannion. https://www.rte.ie/archives/2017/0524/877583-mayo-earthquake/

Looking a bit more "Star Wars" than "Napoleonic Wars"....

Anybody know the RAL code for the colour of Club Orange?

Or... I'm going down the pub, get your coat on. Ooh, am I coming? No, but I'm knocking the heating off on the way out.

Triang/Hornby had a gravity unloading hopper arrangement for years. I did a set-up for a chap with a mine and a loading conveyor at one end and a power station with an unloading drop at the other. Keeping it all working was a full-time job. Here's a description of how the dropping hoppers worked. https://www.southportmodelrailway.org.uk/page21/page117/page78/index.html

At first glance, I thought these were the now-familiar green boxes... Phew....

I had a thirty+ foot run of 00 in an unheated boxed-in car port with a polycarbonate roof - temperature and humidity levels were rather variable. There was a straight along the back and life was a bit difficult before these Fleischmann expansion joints were fitted - they offer most of an inch of movement and solved the issue fairly completely, whilst masquerading plausibly as a crossing. I felt that the majority of the movement was humidity-related - shrinkage of the 'wood', rather than expansion of the metal rails.

Mention of 'Leo' might lead you to fall foul of the "No Politics" rule.....

C19,self isolating and the consequences thereof.
Broithe replied to spudfan's topic in Letting off Steam
I recall a radio programme around 1970, about the life of a chap in New Guinea, who was from one of the last tribes to be contacted - he had been a stone age cannibal until the age of twenty, but had, since then become fully accustomed to modern life, over a period of just a few years. Anyway, he offered his opinion that the choice cut of 'long pig', as it is known in Pidgin English, is the forearm of a woman. It's only a matter of time before it's on special offer in Lidl. -
Wikipedia says - On Starlink 2, one of the satellites has an experimental coating to make it less reflective, and thus impact ground-based astronomical observations less.

You can get the strip as (cuttable) self-adhesive rolls or as 'solid, plug-together' strips. The necessary transformers can be separate items or the direct 'plug-in the socket' type. You can even get strips where you can control the 'colour temperature', so you can alter the 'weather' and the 'time of day'. Kralovstvi Zeleznic in Prague has a section which cycles through the whole 24 hours every fifteen minutes, although they were using fluorescent tubes for that when I went around 2010-ish.

The old Kilkenny stub at Port Laoise.

I have agents in the Fresno area, if I could find a physical location I was going to get them to have an actual look, but I can't. And the website seems to have come into existence fairly recently.

Comparing prices across decades, you really need to rate them by "Hours of work required" a lot of stuff is cheaper now, in terms of how much time you need to work to pay for it. And there's a lot more to consume your money now, things that didn't even exist back then.
