Loco hauled passenger or freight trains, by steam, diesel or electric locos ?

No cages for me, just a motorcycle. A 1997 Suzuki GSX750F motorcycle, reg new in 2000, with over 105,000 miles on the engine and still going strong.

Yes, I agree with what you are saying, but sometimes you have to look at the wider situation and access, Is it worth the hassle ? The other factor you have to think about is. The member of staff or perhaps Joe Public dosen't like his photo being taken, so grabs your camera and breaks it...

If your camera menu has a setting to show next photo after the one you've taken, then change it to that setting and here's what you should do. Take two or three photos of the said subject, then turn around and take two or more photos of "anything you like." When approached by the member...

If you right click your photo, the date and time the photo was made was on the 15/05/2011 @ 15:34pm. Translink's train times rarely change, so checking it against the 2012 time-table, I was able to work out what service the train was working. On the left of the photo, (out of view) you have...

It's not as it looks. It's two seperate tunnels with the Blackstaff Rd/Donegall Rd crossing above at roughly 45 degree angle. Ivo was standing on the footbridge looking towards Central Junction, that leads to Great Victoria Street station. The train in the photo is the 14:57pm Bangor to...

I just tried to upload a photo to the compo and nope, the problem doesn't appear to have been fixed. I got the message below instead. Critical error Destination directory albums/userpics/17764/ is not writable by the script!

Four times I tried to enter this compo, four times I got the message below. So, what's the problem ? Critical error Destination directory albums/userpics/17764/ is not writable by the script!

Downshire Park: Opened 01.04.1925, not sure when the NIR renamed the station as plain Downshire. Sometime in the late 80's or early 90's I think.

Ballymacarrett Halt: Opened 01.05.1905 Closed 09.05.1977 Greenisland: Opened as Carrickfergus Junction, renamed Greenisland 01.10.1893

Neil, AFAIK; the nameplates River Foyle were presented to NIR, but were never fitted for some reason or another. 209 never carried the name "River Foyle" on the cabside.

Turn your Class 37 upside down. Take a pair of long nose pliers, and at the rear end of the NEM pocket where the broken snow plough prongs protude, squeeze them together and ease them forward at the same time. If it fails the first time, just keep trying. When the prongs can be pushed no...
