DART. Part-Two.

Japanese Dissapointments.

Business with Japan has been good with the purchase of the 'Arrow', but not so good on the Dublin Area Rapide Transit replacing and adding to the original West-German stock first generation trains.

Tokyu car Corperation Yokohama, Japan stock 8500. 8510 and 8520 have suffered from constant breakdown problems, but the two car Spanish 8200 stock continue to be fairly reliable?

It is not clear what the Irish government is planning in relation for ne stock for the future, but with the Luas lines and possible underground railway. it is not clear if the planned connection to Aer Lingus/Dublin Airport is still on the cards, but whatever happens new stock will have to be purchased.

Dublin (Balie Atha Cliath) has grown to nearly one million people from the 670.000 estimated in 1980. the whole transport infrustructure has changed dramatically over the years with the new South-Korean DMU stock replacing the American diesels of the 1960's and the new coaching stock with internet connections, Wi-Fi and a whole host of features over that of the older British Rail BREL Mark-III coaches which have all now been sold on.

The decline in the price of Steel. Part-Two.

A point has to Come?

The demand for more metal items is actually on the decline as we said before, since the introduction of new types of combined plastics. Ship building and the need for the construction, road and railway building industry will continue to demand metal.

But the reallity is we will at some point need to start to re-cycle steel or we will face the WALLY situation of a world glut dump of metal and all the rubbish that the human race is accumilating.

The peoples Republic of China has given the world a gift while pricing its own self out? The idea that the steel market in a few years will lift up cannot be sustained by the building debt on some of these plants across the world.

This is serious in the west, when mainy are linked to pension schemes that are becoming chains to profits and something will have to be done by governments who may take advice to convert over that of closing down?



Ordinance. Part-Two.

Robots.

Humans will still be needed for some types of devices as was seen during the Belgium-Brussels aftermarth. But it is the Robots now that can take on without casualties the disable suicide bombers in Israel and the Middel-East, while dealing with unstable improvised devices here in the west from Great-Britain to the United States.

The fact is that most of these machines are similar in purpose and design, based on a four wheel chassis and having several remote arms for opening, cutting and also a variety of cameras, with their battery power pack. 

They can operate are various distances and this with many other things will remain secret in light of ISIL and other deadly International terrorist groupings.
