I am looking forward to seeing what develops here, I do like my dioramas/micro layouts! John Bruce.

What a wonderful display for these great models. Cheers Darius

A little more detail emerging this morning than what was in the original RTE article above. It appears that residents who took a legal challenge to the multibillion MetroLink rail project are set to accept an offer from Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to buy their homes on Dartmouth Square. There's more detail on the agreement in this Irish Times article: https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dublin/2025/12/23/tii-to-buy-dartmouth-square-objectors-houses-as-challenge-to-metrolink-is-dropped-2/

Fabulous and unusual. Your subtle finishing really works well

Ballyrina, Killyconcarne, or Ballyshawbhaegan!?

More epalettes and braid, please!

Unusual, to say the least, but all the more interesting! Fair bet that nobody is going to do an rtr version any time soon as well - though these days, who knows? Either way, another fine model. As for time off over Christmas, having hosted the family diaspora last week, it tends to be fairly quiet and having just seen the dismal range of stuff that the media has to offer am hoping Santa fulfils my usual wishlist of things to read, things to drink and things to make. Have a good one everybody.

*Collection preferred* €160 ono Jouef Train Set. Made in Ireland 1977-1981 or thereabouts. No HDI track. Loco and Transformer working. Video below Transformer was taken apart at some time, perhaps to solder something? Barrier on Unicopa Wagon is broken but break not visible. One buffer missing from each end of loco TWO curves and ONE straight with some surface rust. Can be cleaned with steel wool. Some slight tears etc. to box as shown. VID_20251222_003745.mp4

Thank you

I experienced similar issues accessing both this newsgroup and in accceesing the Accurascale website during the past week, otherwise no problems with internet access here in New Zealand or internationally.

Tried just before 2300h and it was painfully slow. Again now at 0230h, so slow that some icons etc don’t even load.

Contact Silver Fox and ask them directly. They had stopped doing the DVT’s last I heard, and were experimenting with new materials. With Murphy Models’ Mk3’s likely in the near future, including Suburban variants, and no DVT, it may be the right time for Silver Fox to run a batch of then.

Same here

Whitworth Road / Sherriff St / Ballybough / Clonliffe / Cabra

Is there any mk3 driving cars u can still buy? It doesnt seem to be on silverfoxmodels

Likewise; mostly poor.

Judicial review into planned MetroLink rail line is withdrawn https://www.rte.ie/news/dublin/2025/1223/1550368-metrolink/ The application submitted by residents of Dartmouth Square was withdrawn following mediation. The Minister for Transport has called it, 'an early Christmas present for us all.'

To be honest, anywhere around or in Dublin. I have two meetings after the New Year, and hopefully something will be confirmed. Oh. And some updates on junction project

Beautiful

Very hit and miss for me today

Well, Merry Christmas to all on the forum! Best wishes to you, your families and friends. White-ish Christmas this year, but more investigation remains to be done.

@leslie10646 Cross Guns Shed? As in Cross Guns Quay, beside the North City Mill by Glasnevin Junction

Hit and miss today. Right now, it’s grand, and has been so for an hour or two at least, but was dog-rough earlier today.

That's a nice wagon and looks well. Now take a few days off for Christmas
