  1. Indeed, but it looks so good, even pre-paint..
  2. That is nice - even the currently visible white marks from the filling would look quite prototypical where I live, on the edge of the salt fields. Particularly the corner of the brickwork - I have efflorescence just like that on my house
  3. Ah, I should have looked further.. The first one came up for me because it was at Ballybrophy, and I have a search logged in for that.
  4. This has turned up on eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CIE-SIGNAL-ELECTRICAL-COACH-463A-BALLYBROPHY-5X3-ARCHIVE-PHOTO-1969-N-D-MUNDY/372650853924?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3D360de35d247d4491b5bed56ebd2cca96%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D372650853924%26itm%3D372650853924&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507
  5. Get a cattle prod and put it on expenses.
  6. A whole hour has gone past now - is his internet down?
  7. I'm having flashbacks (or flashovers) now.. In my previous life, I had some entertaining events with porcelain insulators. If you ever had any particularly crunchy (nut) cornflakes, that could have been bits of the one that I blew up next to the Kelloggs factory in Manchester... Be careful when you first turn it on
  8. Well, mine arrived yesterday - and I arrived this morning. They've only had a cursory glance so far, but are beyond reasonable expectations... The doors seemed to be locked on mine and there's no sign of a key in the bag of bits.
  9. Easter approaches at the 'Hatch.
  10. The mother has been warned - so they don't end up in a bucket of water and the Bomb Squad summoned....
  11. At least it's the right way up.
  12. If you started the thread, I think you can change the title yourself - try hovering the cursor over it...
  13. To be fair to them, when Lilou took the Dart into town, they issued her with a rail card...
  14. Keep an eye on the stocks. When I had a 'real' job, we kept stocks of copper-tungsten. Not really an alloy, but a physical mixture that was sintered. Its function was to provide erosion resistance for electrical contacts. But, I suspect that a good half of it was used to make the bespoke darts that still turn up at the boot sales here.
  15. 1, I blame the parents. 2, That has come up alright. 3, I think the sleeper in the bottom picture is a bit over-scale.
  16. Ah, I see what you mean - I thought you meant the flooring. That's not a common feature outside Ireland - you might be able to scribe some plain sheet..?
  17. Depending upon what it actually looked like, there is the Wills SSMP204 Granite Sets sheet.
  18. It's time the OPW considered this for National Monument status.
