jhb171achill Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 At the risk of Garfield permanently banning me from IRM, I'll make a horrible confession.

Even.....and I'm plucking up all my courage to say this - on the solitary "half-cab" which bore it for not much more than a week, and which I saw one evening on the 90 route at Heuston Station, having got out of the cab of an "A" class from Tralee......

jhb171achill Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Absolutely fascinating layout. Trains and buses. Whew! I'm not the only desert-sand enthusiast; that's a good few out of the closet now! My earliest memories, of course, were of green buses with "flying snails", and UTA green ones up north.
