  1. The Valentia branch with abandoned right of way carved into the side of the hills and long abandoned bridges and viaducts. Ditto for the traces of the INWR throughout Monaghan and Cavan.
  2. I'd like to see the "good names for a girl" book that Mr and Mrs Weaver were reading.
  3. A good friend called Ray Carroll nearly married Carol Dolan. Carol Carroll anyone?
  4. A fascinating railway. Also probably the only 0-3-0 loco in the world.
  5. Yup that's him. This was a big hit here many years ago.
  6. Thanks to Tim for the Order of Service. I spent some time in Cape Town around 1995. Will be thinking of Don, Tim and the family and friends. Wish I could be there with you. Many thanks again to Tim for keeping us up to date. RIP Don. A true gentleman, sadly missed.
  7. I'll agree there Pete. Try telling a 5 year old that counting to 12 that you learnt last week has been changed to counting in 10's. Feck was I confused
  8. All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
  9. Great to see Jock back. Fair wind for a speedy recovery.
  10. Thanks Tim for the update. Best wishes to Don as his regular updates are eagerly awaited each morning.
  11. Newport Viaduct on the line to Achill, The various viaducts and cliff face ledges on the Valentia branch. Broadstone station.
  12. Good point Ed. You were very lucky that someone nearby spotted the signs. Fair play to the first aider. Keep healthy. 108
  13. Wow. Always worth checking this thread. The dust blown up in C7600 would be frowned on these days. Keep up the good work.
  14. Hi DonOne of my fondest memories of Cape Town was breakfast at Spur. Scrambled egg on toast is so much better when accompanied by a slice of fresh pineapple instead of tomato. Hope you enjoyed it. Best wishes 108 Edited for silly typos. Must try harder.
  15. Agreed. Work is great but it's only a means to earn some money to enjoy your time off. Keep well and hope to see more updates soon. 108
  16. Great to see you back DonB. So sorry to hear your news Pete. Always look on the bright side. 108
  17. It must have been a big job to convince the owners to paint it blue. A truly Herculean task? <tongue in cheek>
  18. The Chain - Fleetwood Mac ( this would sit well in the Formula 1 thread too)
  19. Electric Avenue - Eddie Grant
